What is The Circle
Each week, The Circle meets in the same outdoor location, creating a consistent and familiar space for both mothers and children. This allows us to deepen our sense of belonging, notice the subtle changes in nature, and establish a rhythm of connection and reflection.
Our gatherings are centered around seasonal themes inspired by astrology, lunar cycles, and Waldorf festivals, offering a natural flow to our conversations. These discussions are shaped by pre-season surveys, ensuring that we focus on the topics that resonate most with the group.
Whether it’s motherhood, personal growth, or the shifting energies of the season, we hold space for deep, meaningful dialogue.
While mothers connect, children are free to explore, engaging in nature-inspired art activities and open-ended play, encouraging their creativity and independence in a supportive environment.
Beyond our weekly gatherings, The Circle offers special seasonal outings and mom-focused events, from sound baths to wine tastings and high tea. These private gatherings provide space for self-care, relaxation, and strengthening the bonds within our community.
Who is this group for?
This group was created for any caregiver who seeks the company and support of a diverse group of women with various personal experiences. We encourage any woman who is looking for a supportive, kind and knowledgable community to join us!
Do you really meet outside all year?
Yes! Mothers are a hardy bunch! As long as it is physically safe to be out of doors, we will meet. Spending time with your child outside in all kinds of weather builds resilience and a positive attitude. In the winter months, time spent in nature is a wonderful remedy for Seasonal Affective Disorder (something I struggle with myself). Winter is filled with magic for children! As long as you are dressed properly, you won’t regret getting outside.
**In the event of unsafe weather or driving conditions, we will delay or reschedule our meeting.
I'm already so busy! Why should I make time for this group?
As a homebodies, We certainly understand the value of limiting commitments! Ultimately only you can decide what is best for you and your family. We believe this group can be a worthwhile commitment for mothers who are longing for community and structured time to nurture their emotions and spirit. Unlike other groups that focus mostly on the child’s experience, this group is especially designed to meet the needs of both mother and child. It is also a unique opportunity for your child to enjoy observing and interacting with a mixed-age group!
Won't the kids just run off? What about safety?
Well, yes! Of course they will run off. We will work together to set and maintain boundaries around safety. While each mother is ultimately responsible for her own child/children, I encourage us to all be on the lookout for each other's children... it takes a village. We also have a Mother's Helper to keep an extra eye on things so we can be more engaged in meaningful conversation.
The meeting is during my baby's nap time
Did you know it’s common practice for babies and young children in Scandinavia to nap outside? You can absolutely bring along your stroller (or even a moses basket) for a portable nap! If nap time is directly before or after we meet, you could consider arriving early or staying late and going for a long walk while your baby naps in the stroller. And of course, it is always okay to hold a sleeping babe in your arms or a carrier while we meet.
