Somatic Women's (Mothering) Circles

As a women who is mothering while simultaneously tending to her own mother wounds and learning to re-mother herself, I have a deep desire for sisterhood and a longing to feel taken care of. I figured this was alive in me, it was probably shared by other women. This is what these circles were born from.

Welcome to Somatic Mothering Circles, where mothers and those learning to re-mother themselves, will gather monthly in devotion to truth and realness. You are invited to shed the layers and masks you wear so you can experience the nourishment of being deeply met and seen.

Key Monthly Themes

Mothering.

The work of mothering and re-mothering ourselves is sacred and yet incredibly de-valued. Often having to do this is silos, without a village, without any rights of passage, without deep reverence from the community for the vital impact being well ‘mothered’ has on the wellbeing of all, leaves us feeling isolate and exhausted. In these circles you are invited to lean back, exhale, allow yourself to receive and experience deep rest.

Somatic:

We’ll bring in somatic practices to drop out of our heads and into our bodies. We’ll bring safety into the body, deepen our connection to the felt sense and anchor our communication in authentic integrity.

The overriding message of the Somatic Mothering Circles:

All of you is welcome here.

You’re rage, your grief, your tiredness are welcome here.

You’re joy, your pleasure, your desire are welcome here.

You’re childishness, your messiness, your never-enough-ness are welcome here.

This is a space where you are invited to bring all of you to be expressed, witness and held.

What you’ll experience:

• Teaching/ transmissions around key themes
• Heart-opening cacao
• Somatic drop-ins
• Sharing circle
• Guiding practices around receiving/ shadow work/ intention setting
• Journal prompts
• Light refreshments/ nourishment
• Pulling cards

All elements of these gatherings are invitation only and participation is left to your sovereign decision.

You will receive guidance in advance about how to prepare/what to bring.
