Earthwise Mother Circles
Seasonal journeys through the cycles of nature and the seasons of motherhood.
Part Course and part Circle each 3-month container invites you around the virtual hearth with fellow mothers, guided by the wisdom of the earth to nourish, hold, inspire and tend your mothering journey deeply. Through the archetypes of Maiden, Mother, Mage, and Matriarch, we walk the wheel of the year together, inviting the landscape around us to mirror the landscape of our journeys within.
Each season you will receive a beautiful and rich guide filled with the energies and medicine of the season, journal reflections, somatic practices and rituals, herbal medicine guidance and recipes, nourishing food recipes, nature based crafts, and ancestral ways, and resources. There are 6 live virtual calls weaving the material and honoring space for mothers to share and connect, and a whatsapp group to stay connected.
The inaugural container begins this coming season with
We'll journey together from December through February, into the wisdom carried by the land, our plant kin, and fellow wise mothers to weave a nourished mother and family culture. Enrollment is open now, sliding scale tiers are available, and the Earlybird price ends November 15th.
