The Held Mother Circle
Wednesdays, 10am EDT l Virtual l 60 minutes
Held Mother Circles are small, virtual gatherings for mothers of spirited children who want a space to talk about the parts of motherhood that don't always fit into everyday conversation.
Each circle is limited to a maximum of six mothers, first come first served, and centers around one specific preannounced topic, from grief and comparison to overstimulation, identity, resentment, and the complicated emotions that can come with raising a child who needs more from you.
I'll introduce the topic and offer a little context to get us started, and then open up a guided discussion as we explore not just what we're feeling, but what's underneath it. There is no requirement to participate! I will take back over for the last few minutes of each circle to bring together some of what surfaced in our conversation, offer my own insight, and leave you with a thought or question to take with you.
The goal is to connect with mothers who actually understand, feel less isolated in your experience, make sense of conflicting emotions, and leave with a little more confidence, validation, understanding, and self-compassion than you came in with.
Babies are welcome of course!
Next circle:
Grieving The Mother You Expected To Be
October 14th, 10am EDT I Virtual
Maximum of 6 mothers. A conversation around the mother you imagined you’d be, the reality of raising a spirited child, and the grief that can exist when you let go of those expectations, without guilt, forced gratitude, or pretending you don’t sometimes wish it had been different.
