Gathered Threads
A circle of connection for mothers and mothering hearts

Let’s be honest—mothering can feel like everything, all at once.
Joyful. Exhausting. Beautiful. Lonely.

Gathered Threads is a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and with others who truly get it. It’s not about getting it “right”—it’s about showing up as you are.

💬 Why it matters
Parenting is full of emotion and intensity—and so often, it’s done in isolation. Many of us crave deeper connection and space to reflect, but don’t know where to find it.

Whether you’re in the thick of early motherhood, navigating identity shifts, or simply longing for connection—you belong here.

We’re creating a gentle, welcoming space where mothers and mothering hearts can:

✅ Be heard and held in a supportive circle
✅ Explore thoughts and feelings through journalling
✅ Connect through meaningful conversation (not just small talk)
✅ Pause, breathe, and take time just for you

🤍 What to expect
✔️ Small group (max 15) for honest, heartfelt connection
✔️ Guided journalling and reflective prompts
✔️ Gentle conversation in a safe, inclusive space
✔️ Babes in arms welcome
✔️ Bring a notebook and pen—you won’t need anything else
