MotherCircle
a transformative 8 week gathering
For mothers who want to go deeper into understanding the unseen arc of the mothering journey.
Created by Kimberly Ann Johnson, MotherCircle is creating a community of fierce mamas wrestling with many of the same big questions, challenges, struggles and triumphs.
I hope to offer MotherCircle again in the spring of 2024.
Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to raise a mother. We are creating that village.
When I became a mom, I had a feeling in my bones that there was more to it that I was not understanding. That there were deep, archetypal shifts happening that I was only slightly aware of. That there were lessons, gems, and incredible opportunities for growth that so many women have walked before me, but that I was left to figure out alone.
Your experience of motherhood is unique, and there are universal threads that connect us in this journey.
“We know we are not meant to do this alone…
…and we know that concentric circles of mothers supporting mothers is the answer.”
This is for women who…
…feel the lack of community, passed down knowledge, and the ‘mothering’ of new mothers and are ready to receive more support.
…want to learn about embodied motherhood to prepare themselves for pregnancy, to usher friends and children across this threshold, or who are mothering in other ways.
…are healing from and integrating their birth experience and are looking for witnessing and community support through this process from women who understand.
…understand that there is a map for embodied motherhood held in our bodies, but are confused about how to bring all the threads together.
This is not a new moms circle where we talk about breastfeeding tips, how few hours we slept, and how annoying our partners are.
MotherCircle
This is an intentional gathering to heal from birth and integrate the lessons of motherhood. Together.
“We are taking the current patterns of connection deeper, and making them ceremonial and sacred.
We are practicing wisdom around birth and sex and money and worth, and living deeply from our values. And it’s touching every part of our lives, filtering into our work, our relationships and our mothering.
We are courageously navigating our rites of passage and bringing back the wisdom for our communities.”
Through story telling, breath meditations, somatic practices, journaling, and most importantly the medicine of the circle itself, we will explore these topics in the 8 weeks.
About the facilitator
I’m Maible, mama of one (thus far…) I came to this work of MotherCircle after my own motherhood journey felt deeply discombobulating, even after years of studying and working in the sphere of the childbearing years as a student midwife and postpartum care provider.
I knew there were deeper levels of myself and my path to explore, and MotherCircle unlocked so many of those doors for me. I am excited to hold this circle to allow you to find your own keys.
