Courage, connection and compassion

When: Last Sunday Every Month
Time: 12.30 –14.30pm

Mothers Circle is for any woman in a mothering role who wants to feel heard and more supported in their motherhood journey.

This Circle is 2 hours to slow down, practice being present with your feelings and connect with other mothers on a deeper level in a supportive circle.
We close with a restorative mindfulness practice.

Each month we will gather in circle to:

• Practice radical self care – through simple restorative 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

What is a Women’s Circle
It is a space created, with agreements of confidentiality, non-judgement, deep listening, witnessing and sharing. It is a supportive place to be yourself and find connection yourself – you can laugh and cry, grieve, learn and seek wisdom from all the women in the circle.
Mothers Circle is a simple beginner’s circle – simple mindfulness practices, slowing down, sharing, journaling and release.
