Mama circle is a weekly women’s gathering on Monday mornings, from 9:30-11. This is an opportunity to create deeply rooted friendships with other women walking the sacred path of motherhood. Mothers of all ages and stages are invited (mothers to be and grandmothers too!). Children are welcome in this space to hear songs and stories, to play, and witness the beauty and magic of mamas sharing and lifting each other up. This gathering takes place in our cozy woodland yurt. Here’s what to expect:
9:30am: Arrive, settle, let children play
9:45: Call for circle time. Children are welcome to join us, or quietly play, colour, tinker, and come and go as they please from our circle.
Check in for mamas- An invitation in the form of a poem or affirmation, after which we go around the circle and share.
Songs- Together we will sing songs that nourish the soul and celebrate nature, kinship, and what it is to be human. Story time- A seasonal oral tale each week, for children and mamas alike!
10:30: Tea, visiting, and play
11:00: Tidy up and goodbye!
This session will run from January 12- March 9th (excluding Family Day), and women are asked to sign up in advance for the session. This commitment helps us to create a strong container and lasting relationships with one another. The cost is $65, which works out to approx $8/week, though everyone is welcome to join regardless of ability to pay. Sliding scale/pay what you can options are available.

About the facilitator:
Hi! I’m Allie. I’m a mother of one, a Montessori teacher for early childhood, and a certified forest school mentor. I have years of experience holding space for both parents and children from forest school, to Waldorf classrooms, and beyond. I am passionate about community, and my dream is to cultivate a growing mama village, where we support one another and foster intentional togetherness through songs and stories and cups of tea.
