MotherCircle is an intimate 8 week course and community practicing wisdom around motherhood and how it changes us.
There’s space in our culture for this formerly invisible experience, space for us to redefine motherhood on our own terms.
Through a series of themes each week we touch on different aspects of our lives, filtering into our work, our relationships and our mothering.
I certified as a MotherCircle facilitator in December 2024. I have learned so much and I can't wait to share this work with all of you who feel called to take part. This is an embodied and I would say spiritual journey. In the sense that for us women our spirituality is deeply linked with our bodies, and Motherhood is a wild, messy, and transformative experience.
I am offering MotherCircle because I love the aliveness and trueness that arises when women gather in an intentional way. When we allow ourselves to stop and orient ourselves in our life path. When we witness each other in our strengths and vulnerabilities. When we can mirror and learn. Mostly I love MotherCircle because it brings us together and fosters the change this world needs.

What will each session cover?
Entering motherhood is an underworld journey often not seen and recognized by the outer world. Learn the arc of this journey, the tools to be present to it, and be witnessed as you locate yourself within it.
Awareness of our cyclical nature can help us align with our innate wisdom as mothers. Explore how being in rhythm with the cycles in and around us gives us more access to our wholeness and our power.
Everything a new baby needs, a new mother also needs. Learn a powerful framework for assessing your physical and emotional wellness, and how to tend to what’s needed in your body no matter where you are at in your motherhood journey.
The predator - prey dynamic is present in our experience of birth and motherhood. Explore how this awareness and understanding of your nervous system can impact your everyday life and mothering.
Birth is an initiatory experience that fundamentally changes us. We’ll explore ways to access and share this experience that locates the wisdom that it has to offer for our motherhood journeys
There is often a split between being a mother and being sexual. Learn how to connect with your ever changing sexuality as a mother and become more at home in your body and your sexuality.
Motherhood changes how we relate to our work in the world. Explore the relationship between your worth and your value and anchor the things that nurture your worth as part of your mothering practice.
We have a powerful opportunity to imagine the legacy we’d like to leave. We are shaped by our motherline and the mothers around us, and we can choose what we want to carry forward. Together we’ll Identify the values that we want to guide our mothering and shape our lineage.
The cultural fabric is torn and we believe that it’s our work to do something about it. We have moved away from village-mindedness, and it’s mothers who suffer the most.

Words from Kimberly Ann Johnson the founder of MotherCircle:
Mothering is one of the wildest journeys. Mothering well requires community, and the mirroring and witnessing that comes with it. Without it, we are constantly depleted, taking from our own reserves to feed everyone else.
These past few years have brought most of us even more reckonings, more double binds, and more impossible choices.
Somehow we’ve arrived at this place – 2025.
We need time and space to metabolize everything we’ve been through.
To gather with like hearted people who get what it means to be attuned, sensitive and deeply connected to what the earth is communicating.
