“Being with other women and going deep on these topics in a space where I didn’t have to explain anything was truly transformative. It helped me discover new gems in my motherhood experience and shifted how I care for myself and my family.” — Adoptive Mom
MotherCircle
A warm welcome to you.
We are so glad you're here.
We have curated this iteration of MotherCircle based on the curriculum developed by Kimberly Ann Johnson. We recognize the depth and ground this curriculum offers.
We also know that there is often a longing for a different conversation when mothering a child born from another mother's womb.
There are exquisite layers to this mothering: complex, complicated, sacred, and beautiful.

MotherDive: Entering motherhood is often an underworld journey, often not seen and recognized by the outer world. We dive into the archetypal experience of Mother. Learn the arc of this journey, be witnessed as you locate yourself within it, no matter what stage or season you're in. Understanding this dive will support you through all thresholds you cross.
MotherCycle: 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.
MotherBody: Everything a new baby needs, a new mother also needs. Everything a child transitioning into a new family needs, the one who is mothering them 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 or in life.
MotherJaguar: 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 and relationships.
MotherBirth: Birth is an initiatory experience that fundamentally changes us. No matter how a woman grows her family or comes to motherhood, a mother is born and this too is an initiatory experience. We’ll explore ways to access and share this experience that locates the wisdom that it has to offer for our motherhood journeys.
MotherLover: 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.
MotherWorth: 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.
MotherCode: 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.
"The best part of MotherCircle was showing up as is, not having to delve into detailed adoption explanations and story due to the essential comprehensiveness of the group , and being seen and heard and sharing in the collective as such. Profound thanks to Michelle and Karla for creating such a sacred and needed space for us". - Kimberly, Adoptive mom
“MotherCircle gave me a place to process pain and shame I’ve carried in my journey as a mother—like no other space I’ve found. To be with other women who were open, vulnerable, and wise helped me feel safe and understood. That’s the antidote to shame. Thank you.” –Rhonda, SEP, Art Psychotherapist, Adoptive Mom
"Mother circle for adoptive moms was such a gift. Having the other women understand the nuances, challenges and love of adoption was so refreshing". - Erika, mother of 3 through adoption
