Looking for a safe, nurturing place to talk openly about pregnancy, mothering, and everything in between?

Step out of the daily rush and into our welcoming community space at Warners Bay.

Our monthly circle is built on simple, gentle principles, listen with an open heart, share if you feel moved or just sit quietly and soak in the wisdom of other women. No judgment, no pressure, and no cost…our gift to you.

When: Every second Thursday of the month
Time: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM (Start to gather at 9:45am, One Hour Circle at 10.00 AM - 11.00 AM, stay for a relaxed 30 mins chat time after circle)
Where: Newcastle Birth Movement, 342 Hillsborough Road, Warners Bay.
Ticket Fee: Zero Cost (A gifted tradition running in the Hunter for over 35 years)
Children: Always welcome, bring your babies and little ones along. Secure play within easy sight and reach.

We warmly invite:

Expectant parents and birthing women
Mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures
Partners and support people

While our circles have completely no cost to attend, many ask how they can contribute to keeping our doors open. You can support our nonprofit mission by:

Shopping or donating gently used/as new clothes at our Pre Loved Store
Bringing a light snack to share after circle
Telling a friend or sharing our posts on social media

RSVP: Space is thoughtfully managed, so everyone gets a chance to connect comfortably.

Thank you,

Katie Ranclaud
