Tend - Mother's Circle​
​​
Motherhood can often feel isolating. Whether it’s the literal or figurative feeling of doing it alone, the impact on our mental, physical, and emotional health is real. But here’s what I know for certain: when mothers and women come together, something beautiful happens.​
'Tend' is the second circle in my autumn series of three monthly in-person Mother's Circles.
​​
The purpose? To create a nurturing space where you can reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves, and share experiences with others who truly get it.
These gatherings will be held in the peaceful workshop space at -
Oak and Haven: 7 The Mall, Croydon South VIC 3136.
Dates for the autumn season are as follows:
April 27
May 25
**Stay tuned, as more seasonal dates will be announced later this year**​
I’ve carefully planned these dates to make them as accessible as possible, but please note that some may be subject to change. If adjustments are needed, I’ll make sure you have plenty of notice (after all, I’m navigating the juggle of motherhood, too!).
​​
What to expect from a Mother’s Circle:
In Circle, we come together as our whole selves. We co-create a safe space to be seen, heard, and accepted. You are invited to share, but there is no pressure to do so.
Sometimes, simply being present in circle is all we need. We don’t offer advice or try to ‘fix’ what’s shared; instead, we embrace the beauty of giving and receiving.​
The finer details:
-
2 - 2.5 hours of nourishing time together
-
Small, intimate group of no more than 6 mothers.
-
A warm welcome with a grounding meditation.
-
Oracle card and short journal activity.
-
Sharing/listening time (this is where the magic happens!).
-
Closing grounding practice.​
Nourishing snacks will be provided, and a comfortable space to sit, reflect, and recharge will be waiting for you. Babes in arms are always welcome.
​
What to bring:
Bring along your journal, a yoga mat if you prefer your own, a pillow or blanket for extra comfort and a friend if you’d like some company.
Exchange:
$60 per circle
