Mother Circle

Return to the ancient practice of circling together

Mother circle is an intentional coming together of women, of all ages so that we may learn together & from one another

Are you craving community & connection? Feeling alone in your experience of Mothering?

Then Mother Circle is for you! Where you will learn tools & practices that will help you ground & find your center again.

Before I became a Mother, I was a Nanny & a Birth Assistant. I had a degree in Sociology & I was an RN & Still I was surprised by birth & motherhood!

I had dreamt of it my whole life, supported other women as they became mothers & now that I was a mother myself I felt lost, disoriented & Alone.

Mother Circle was a safe harbor, a lighthouse for me when I was in the depths of becoming a mother once again to my daughter who was just a few months old when I joined my first Mother Circle.

The gentle arc of the 8 classes gave me tools that helped me to integrate my experience of matresence, to find my flow in unsteady waters. 

I am forever grateful for the mother culture we built together during those 8 weeks & for all the gems of that experience that I carry with me today.

"When women gather with an intention to hold, to listen, to co-create, and to empower, the possibilities for genuine transformation and impact on the culture are endless." - Sarah Marshank

What women are Saying about Mother Circle

  • Meghan Persephone Taylor, Artist, Costa Rica

    Amana is a uniquely wise and loving guide along the 8-week journey of Mother Circle. She brings a perfect combination of strength and gentleness to the space where we are both remembering and calling in powerful perspectives, practices and approaches to the ever evolving ancient art of mothering. If you are a mother looking to surround yourself with other women who are exploring the initiatory path of motherhood, I would highly recommend joining Amana in her next round of this very special offering, Mother Circle.

  • Ashleigh, Squamish BC: Financial Advisor

    Mother circle for me was held with curiosity and trust in Amana and what she was offering that would bring me insight and more transformation in my journey as a mother but also woman. Every week her presence just brought so much peace and genuine care and attention to our group and each and every person. The information was easy to digest and fun to explore. It felt hard at times to be vulnerable but when you were witnessing others vulnerability it became easier. The layout of the time together felt very good, the amount of time was great. If at times just sad that our time was done. But the welcome and completion of each circle just felt so supportive and left me excited for the next week every time. I looked forward to our time together and will continue to integrate the knowledge I gained and things I will continue to think about in my mothering journey.

    I highly recommend this mother circle with Amana for any woman whether they have kids yet or not. There is so much to gain in this time learning about yourself and others that can just help us all grow.

    Thank you thank you Amana 💖

We Start Mother Circle Mondays on January 8th 2024 at 11 aM pst

What will we cover in this 8 week experience?

  • Week 1

    Have you ever felt like Motherhood is an underworld journey? In this class we will explore what it means to experience a rite of passage. Learn about sensation language and practice locating ourselves within our current experience.

  • Week 2

    When we take a moment to look, cycles are all around us every day we participate in and experience the cycle of 1 day/night. We will explore new ways of interacting with the cycles that we already know. How can we work with our cycles rather than move against them? Without light there would be no dark. Learn to identify and find balance in the ebbs and flows of Yin and Yang in life.

  • Week 3

    There is no such as “bouncing back” our bodies change across our entire lifetime, never returning to how it once was. Learn about the 5 universal needs of a mother postpartum. We all need them, but most of us aren’t getting them. Do you have a hard time differentiating your body, your energy from that of other people around you? Learn the boundaries of own physical form.

  • Week 4

    Curious about automatic responses of your nervous system? Do you find yourself, freezing, fawning & fitting in? We will talk about why most women identify with prey over predators. Learn about healthy aggression and the ways it can be important, especially for women including in mothering.

  • Week 5

    Each birth is a transformative experience, a journey into the unknown, a definitive before and after. Learn about the 5 channels of the nervous system in which we express. You might be very comfortable in one and not another. Together we will explore the movement channel & the magic of communicating without words.

  • Week 6

    Do you view Sensual & Sexual as the same? How are they different? Did you know that women’s full arousal takes 35-45 minutes!? For many women our sex drive & the type of sexual experiences we desire change after we have a baby. In this class we will speak about the unspoken: sexuality & explore how our own sexuality changes across time. May this be an opportunity to deepen or reconnect to your own intimacy with your body.

  • Week 7

    Where do you find your worth? In today’s modern world it is often modeled that our worth is wrapped up in our paid work in the world. This is the class where we unravel that and explore the tensions between paid work, mothering work and money. Learn how to nurture your worth.

  • Week 8

    What is MotherCode? Each of us have unique values that we live by. This is an opportunity to explore the qualities that have been passed down to you and consciously choose which ones you would like to prioritize in your life and in the lives of your children.

Mother Circle with Amana
Mother Circle with Amana

When my daughter was just a few months old, Kimberly Ann Johnson was offering a round of Mother Circle & I just knew it was time for me to invest in the class. It was a transformative experience of being held within an intentional scaffolding that allowed me to integrate & heal.

I connected with women around the world,  learned practices that helped me to become more embodied. I found deeper attunement with my baby, uncovering my inner strength.

Mother Circle gave me a framework that I could use to orient to myself & the culture I am mothering within.   

Since that first Mother Circle I have attended another 3 rounds as well as deepen my learning in Kimberly’s Jaguar Courses & In person mentorship at Ghost Ranch. 

In 2023 I had the honor of taking part in the inaugural Mother Circle Facilitator training with Kimberly Ann Johnson & Jessica Connolly where I got to dive deep into behind the scenes of Mother Circle, & learn the why’s behind each thoughtful practice. At the end of the experience I received my Mother Circle Facilitator Certification.
