A little more about Mama Circle:

These circles were borne from my own postpartum experience and subsequent conversations with other mothers in the following years where we realised our common shared stories of isolation, need for greater support, and the challenges and learnings of the transition from maiden to mother, amongst others. So many thoughts, feelings, experiences that were largely unspoken of for various reasons - a sense of taboo, shame, guilt, embarrassment, societal and cultural expectations, right way or wrong way, and the way we think we should be after birth and so on.

My deeply heartfelt wish for these circles is to offer a space and opportunity for reconnection to your innate wisdom, reignite your inner fire and magic, to remember and discover the beauty and essence of your soul, for your connection with others through shared story, to help build your wider network, your village for you and your family with other mothers, other practitioners of modalities to support your motherhood journey, and the elders of our community. And I know Tara and the many women (and men too) I have spoken to within our community, who have their own skills, knowledge and wisdom to share, share the same vision.

Some of the offerings for future gatherings include:

Learning the knowledge and wisdom of different traditional birth and postpartum practices
Create through art & craft with the many amazing local artists
Connect through movement, such as dance, yoga, qi gong
Raise your voice through Voice Activation and Song Circle
And, time to sit, share, listen, and learn from our elders within the community.

I’m super excited to share this beautiful time and space with you, for all of us, together.

With Love and gratitude,

Bec
