Discover the arc of your motherhood journey, together in sacred community.

MotherCircle is an 8 week course and community dedicated to creating a new way of mothering, integrating the often invisible parts of the mothering journey.

A gathering for mothers at all stages of motherhood who want to have deeper conversations about motherhood in the presence of a supportive community, we are taking the current patterns of connection deeper, and making them ceremonial and sacred.

We are practicing wisdom around birth and sex and money and worth, and living deeply from our values. And it’s touching every part of our lives, filtering into our work, our relationships and our mothering.

We are courageously navigating our rites of passage and bringing back the wisdom for our communities.

MotherCircle was created as a landing pad for mothers to gather, learn and share their experiences as mothers – physically, sexually, emotionally, spiritually, and archetypally.

We know we are not meant to do this alone, and we know that concentric circles of mothers supporting mothers is the answer. Together, we build MotherCulture.

MotherCircle was created by Kimberly Ann Johnson, author of The Fourth Trimester. For the past five years, mothers from five continents and over thirty countries have gathered online to share this journey. Together with Jessica Connolly, Kimberly trained the first cohort of MotherCircle facilitators in Spring 2023 so that MotherCircle could be offered in-person and online in communities around the world.

Each week we will gather together to explore a specific, universal theme in an intentional and sacred setting.
Eight weeks, eight key themes, eight guided circles.

  • 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.

  • Awareness of our cyclical nature can help us align with our innate wisdom as mothers.. Explore how being in rhythm with the cycles in and around us gives us more access to our wholeness and our power.

  • Everything a new baby needs, a new mother also needs. Learn a powerful framework for assessing your physical and emotional wellness, and how to tend to what’s needed in your body no matter where you are at in your motherhood journey.

  • Birth is an initiatory experience that fundamentally changes us. We’ll explore ways to access and share this experience that locates the wisdom that it has to offer for our motherhood journeys.

  • There is often a split between being a mother and being sexual. Learn how to connect with your ever changing sexuality as a mother and become more at home in your body and your sexuality.

  • The predator - prey dynamic is present in our experience of birth and motherhood. Explore how this awareness and understanding of your nervous system can impact your everyday life and mothering.

  • Motherhood changes how we relate to our work in the world. Explore the relationship between your worth and your value and anchor the things that nurture your worth as part of your mothering practice.

  • We have a powerful opportunity to imagine the legacy we’d like to leave. We are shaped by our motherline and the mothers around us, and we can choose what we want to carry forward. Together we’ll Identify the values that we want to guide our mothering and shape our lineage.

Reflect. Share. Witness.
Be in community.

When women gather in circle there is a remembering, and a certain magic happens.

MotherCircle is for all mothers, wherever they are on their mothering journey.

New mothers, seasoned mothers, grandmothers, women who have experienced pregnancy/infant loss, women desiring to be mothers, women working with mothers.

When women are supported in this way, babies thrive, children thrive, relationships thrive, and communities thrive.
