An Invitation to All Mothers— babies in arms or still growing within.

As a mother, I understand the deep, often unspoken longing for connection with other women walking this shared path. Do you feel it too?

As someone passionate about holding space for women, I’ve witnessed the profound transformation that happens when we gather in a circle.

When women come together with compassion, support, and loving intention, something magical unfolds. And what a more important time to embrace the power of community than in motherhood—a journey that shapes, challenges, and evolves us in ways we never expected.

Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, these spaces can feel elusive.

We may get opportunities to go baby classes or brunch with other mums, but we also need places that give intentional space to feel truly held —where we can express the full spectrum of our motherhood experience. Where there is time to really listen, share and be open about our unique experiences.

The places where we can laugh, cry, share our stories, and be deeply heard, as we navigate this incredible metamorphosis.

What happens in a circle:

Mothers can feed/change as needed within the circle. Babies are unpredictable, so we will always move with the energy that presents. (Babies who are pre-movers are welcome).

• Tend to your mind and body through gentle practices, simple practices that you can take away with you. 

• A sharing and listening circle. A non judgmental space to hear and be heard. 

• A calming environment with low stimuli (we spent a lot of time overstimulated as mama's, this space aims to be a calming atmosphere)

• Meet likeminded mama’s. 

The space:

Think a cosy, candle lit space-- The circle will be held in the beautiful studio at 50 Hill Rise. Blankets, rugs & bolsters provided- please just bring along an extra blanket for baby to lie on. Tea & a sweet treat included.

Nourished: Women’s day retreat January 2024

After a last beautiful day retreat in October, I am excited to gather again in January.

Ushering in the new year with the same sense of connection, nourishment and love that was created during our last gathering. It's an opportunity to reignite that beautiful spark or join the journey.

What is Nourished:

A day to embrace and nourish every aspect of your female being, allowing space for the unseen parts of yourself to flourish. It's an opportunity to spark your soul's fire, infuse joy into your heart and be held in a supportive embrace of women as we step into the threshold of 2024.

Authentic nourishment involves honoring our body, mind, and spirit- granting them the essentials to thrive and harmonize as a unified whole.

As we usher in the new year and approach the first full moon of 2024, we will dedicate space and reflection towards ourselves and our desires — expect a safe and nurturing space where women can gather, created like-minded connections and introspect on their desires and aspirations for the forthcoming year.

Throughout the day we will journey through a variety of spiritual and holistic modalities to deepen your authentic connection to yourself.

From gentle embodied yoga and breath-work to ceremonial cacao, somatic embodiment practices, self-inquiry rituals and restful moments with sound healing, the day acts like a journey, aiming to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and joyful connection.

Food

You will be welcomed with a warming chai and little treat in the cafe before we begin.

Later, we'll pause midday to for a nourishing, wholesome meal together. And as the day draws to a close, we'll come together once more to conclude our time with homemade cake and tea, savoring the shared moments and reflections of the day.

Dietary requirements can be sent prior to the event.

When and where:

We will gather in the beautiful wellness hub of 50 Hill Rise in Richmond, where we will spend most of the day in the magical stain glass window studio.

This an entire day event starting 10.30am to 5.30pm.
