Motherhood is a rebirth, an identity shift, a storm that strips away the familiar and reshapes you from the inside out. This transition, known as matrescence, quietly dismantles the life you knew and invites you to emerge as your authentic self.
This journal circle is for mamas who want more than surface-level small talk. It’s a place for real connection. A place where you can feel seen, heard, and held by a group of amazing mamas, just like you. No judgement. No expectations. Just a safe space to process, release, and reflect.
We’ll gather in circle, sip ceremonial cacao (a marvellous mood-boosting superfood hot chocolate!), and experiment with different journalling practices - giving words to the chaos, joy, and messiness of motherhood.
What’s included:
- Grounding movement meditation
- Empowering words ritual
- Cacao ceremony
- Learn about the benefits & different styles of journalling
- Guided journalling practice
- Qigong 'shake it off' release
Who it’s for:
Mothers at any stage seeking…
- Connection with other mums
- Space to process the emotional load of motherhood
- Practical tools to explore themselves through journalling, reflection, and ritual
What to bring:
- A notebook and pen (I’ll have paper & pens available too)
- A blanket if you wish to (comfy cushions & a few cosy blankets will be provided)
- Water bottle
About me:
Hey, I’m Maisie - a copywriter, self-published author, and mama to a squishy 5 month old and rascal 4 year old.
I’ve been in the copywriting business for 14 years and have been journalling for 25 (ever since I got my first Girl Tech Password Journal as a child - hello nineties!). I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of words and how the simple practice of journalling can untangle thoughts, release emotions, and reveal truths we didn’t know we were carrying.
Becoming a mum has stretched me, softened me, and rebuilt me in ways I never imagined. Now, after the traumatic birth of my second child, I feel a deep yearning to connect to the mother tribe. To create a nurturing space where mums can pause, breathe, and explore the transformation of motherhood - together.
Through journalling, cacao, and circle work, I help women reconnect with themselves, process their experiences, and feel supported in the wilds of matrescence.
