Gather Mama Circle is 2 hours to slow down, connect with other mothers on a deeper level in a safe and supportive circle. We will close with a restorative meditation.

Each month we will gather in circle to:

- Practice radical self care – through simple restorative mindfulness practices that you can then take home and incorporate into motherhood.

- Share and practice holding space for each other – sharing our highs and lows, releasing emotions and being truly listened to starts a healing journey and helps mothers to feel less alone in their motherhood

This circle is for you if:

- You desire a deeper connection with women and with yourself

- You need a safe space to be heard

- You are ready for a monthly space to practice grounding, mindfulness, letting go and calling in new growth

- You are ready to learn more about the power within yourself as a woman and mother

What is a Women’s Circle

It is a sacred space created, with agreements of confidentiality, non-judgement, deep listening, witnessing and sharing. It is a safe place to be yourself and find yourself – you can laugh and cry, grieve, learn and seek wisdom from all the women in the circle.

Mama Circle is a simple beginner’s circle – simple mindfulness practices, slowing down, sharing, journaling and release.
