MotherCircle
An 8-week journey for mothers who long to feel seen, understood and supported
in the transformation of motherhood
IT IS TIME TO GATHER
LIVE ON ZOOM
Begins July 7th.
Nobody prepared us for becoming Mothers
We prepare for birth.
We prepare the nursery.
We prepare for the arrival of our baby.
Yet so many women are surprised by what comes next.
Not because they don't love their children.
But because motherhood changes everything.
Our bodies, our relationships, our priorities and our identity.
And while everyone focuses on the baby, mothers are often left to navigate this transformation alone.
MotherCircle exists because mothers deserve support too.
"Mothering is demanding, revelatory complex and redempting.
We think we are mothering our children; often we are
re-mothering ourselves.
Our children reflect our nervous systems, and we’re not sure where we end and they begin."
Kimberly Ann Johnson,
Founder of MotherCircle
Maybe your days look something like this...
You wake up tired.
There are dishes in the sink, laundry waiting,
and a little person needing you before you've even had a moment to yourself.
By lunchtime you've cared for everyone else's needs,
but you can't remember the last time you asked yourself what you need.
You meet other mothers at the park, the cafe or a playgroup.
Everyone seems to be coping.
Everyone seems to be enjoying motherhood more than you are.
You laugh. You talk about sleep, snacks and milestones.
But inside you wonder: "Why does this feel so hard?"
You love your child deeply. The thought of having to explain or defend that love feels absurd. It is not hard despite your love for your child.
It is hard because you love them so much.
And yet somewhere along the way, you've lost sight of yourself.
You know something important is happening inside you.
You just don't have words for it.
And no one else seems to be talking about it.
You may recognize yourself here...
⪢ You love your child deeply, but motherhood feels harder than you expected.
⪢ You sometimes wonder where you went.
⪢ You feel lonely, even when surrounded by people.
⪢ You know something important is happening inside you, but you don't have words for it.
⪢ You want support, not advice.
⪢ You have enough of comparing yourself to others and want to feel more connected to yourself.
⪢ You want to understand your experience, not fix it.
⪢ You are ready to dedicate time to your own wellbeing and growth.
⪢ You are a midwife, a birthkeeper, doula, etc. and you want to aquire tools to support women through the transformation of motherhood.
MotherCircle is not about becoming a better mother.
It is about understanding what it means to become one.
Together we explore the hidden landscape of motherhood.
The questions, the grief, the joy,the identity shifts...
The parts nobody warned us about.
Through reflection, witnessing, conversation and community, we begin to make sense of our experience and discover we were never alone in it.
This is what you can expect
MotherCircle follows an arc that helps us understand and navigate the journey of motherhood.
Each week explores a different aspect of this transformation and offers language, reflection and connection around experiences many women have never spoken aloud.
Week 1 : MotherDive
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.
MotherCircle
MotherCircle was founded by Kimberly Ann Johnson
(Author of "The 4th Trimester", "Call of the Wild" and more).
As a trained facilitator, I share this framework with deep respect for her work and vision.
What happens in a MotherCircle
90 minutes each week, dedicated entirely to you.
Each session includes:
⪢ A grounding practice and guided meditation
⪢ Teachings around a MotherCircle theme
⪢ Reflection and journaling
⪢ Partner and small group sharing
⪢ Deep listening and witnessing
⪢ Closing ritual and poem
You do not need to prepare anything and you do not need
to have answers.
You are invited to arrive exactly as you are.
In addition to our weekly gatherings, you'll be part of a private WhatsApp group where you can share reflections, celebrate wins, ask for support, and connect with fellow mothers throughout the journey. A space to feel held not only during our Zoom Calls, but during the whole 8 weeks.
The women who joined before said...
Bhakti Selma Schmid
Hi, I’m Bhakti, a mother, a MotherCircle Facilitator, Postpartum Care Practitioner and lifelong student of the healing arts.
Motherhood changed everything for me. It became my spiritual practice. It taught me to surrender, softness, and the courage to live my life authentically and aligned with my female body. After burning out in my early postpartum years, I realized how essential real support is and unfortunately how rare it can be.
I created Nurtured Mothers as a space where we don’t have to walk this path alone. Where we can show up in the mess, in the beauty, and in-between. In MotherCircle, I hold space for women to feel seen, resourced, and reconnected with their inner wisdom and power.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about coming home to ourselves, together.
Our wellbeing is not optional,
to take care of ourselves is part of female liberation.
Imagine finishing these 8 weeks feeling...
⪢ Less alone and reassured that your experience is valid.
⪢ More connected to yourself, your body, your needs and your power.
⪢ More compassionate towards your experience.
⪢ Knowing what you need and more confident asking for support.
⪢ Able to understand where you are in your journey and knowing where you are heading.
⪢ Held by a community of women who truly understand.
