Mother’s Circle exists to explore, support, and cheer on the experience of motherhood.
This is not a class, but a supportive place to discuss the Big Issues we ponder in private, or witness in online spaces (where thoughtfulness and nervous system regulation may be lacking). It’s a place to meet with people who understand what you’re going through, and know how to witness you, without judgment.
As a facilitator, I’m interested in following the group’s interests. This is a dynamic experience that we are co-creating, together! We may talk about the identity shift from maiden to mother, parenting in the current political landscape, how we raise the next generation of boys/girls, and more. I’d love to hear what you’re processing in this season of parenthood.
If you’re interested in joining but have questions, please send me a message through the contact form. I will respond to every message personally.
Circles are intimate spaces where bonds may be formed quickly and deeply. There is both power, and vulnerability, in sharing our stories with each other.
To that end, you might want to know what the group’s culture is like. This gathering will resonate most for people who are…
- politically progressive
- concerned with the bigger philosophical and cultural topics that go along with parenthood, as well as the day-to-day “trenches” of raising small humans
- committed to personal growth
- balanced in our interests of science and woo
- casually spiritual, agnostic, or deconstructing from religion
- emotionally regulated enough to hold respectful space for others
- empathetic and compassionate
- generous and warm-hearted
You did it! You survived the summer! Snaps, claps, and big hugs to you.
Let’s take a moment to slow down and reconnect with ourselves, together.
Fall equinox is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the seeds we’ve planted this year, and celebrate their harvest (gratitude). It’s also a time to set intentions before getting swept up in the mayhem of holidays (balance).
Like generations of mothers before us, we gather in a circle to be real, to be seen, and to be nourished (emotionally and physically — you know this girl will be bringing food!!).
Seasons of mothering are welcome, from pregnancy to the teen years, and babies in arms are our honored guests. Come as you are, sister. We can’t wait to see you!

Sliding Scale: Blooming Mother’s Circle is offered on a sliding scale, from $35-50 per event. I trust you to choose what feels healthy to you. If you are experiencing financial hardship but want to attend, please send me an email at jennifer@rootedpostpartum.com. We will work it out!
Beyond Circle: 10% of all ticket sales will be donated to Wombs of the World Foundation, an organization that is working to transform maternal health by uplifting, educating, and connecting birthworkers. They do this by mobilizing resources, funding community-led projects, and providing direct education and support in Ecuador, Tanzania, Mexico, India, and South Africa.

Land Acknowledgement: Rooted Postpartum acknowledges that we are meeting on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of the Kumeyaay and Luiseño people. We honor the Indigenous mothers who have nurtured this land for generations, and the women who’ve sat in circle for millennia. We pay respect to the elders, past and present, and honor their deep connection to the Earth Mother.
Let’s just come out and say it: raising boys through the last gasps of patriarchy is heavy.
Every day, the headlines are bleak. Another powerful man is accused of abuse. Another school is traumatized by gun violence. Young boys are being red-pilled online. Billionaires are unapologetically flaunting their exploitation of the working class. Et cetera. Et cetera.
But amazing things are happening, too! Women are rising up. We are supporting each other more than ever. We are working to remember the old ways. There’s been a renewed celebration of what makes us unique — our softness, our protectiveness, our wisdom, our powers of creation and connection. We are embracing our witchiness. We are raising our voices. And we are not going back.
This brings about a necessary but difficult tension for mothers: where do our boys fit in? How do we uplift the feminine without destroying the masculine? How can we bring the outer world — and our inner worlds — back into balance?
We were never meant to do this alone, and fortunately, we don’t have to! Building community is our superpower.
Every generation of parents tries to do better than the one before. For our generation, much of the work is in re-parenting — understanding, connecting with, and loving ourselves as children, in order to heal the wounds of the past and raise our little ones with clarity and intention. This is deep, inner work, and often difficult. And yet, we are never alone.
Please join us for an experience of community and sacred ceremony. This circle is intended for those journeying through pregnancy up to one year postpartum, and babies in arms are welcome. Light refreshments will be provided. In order to create an intimate, safe environment, space is limited.
Circle is a sacred place to be seen, heard, and held in a community that truly “gets” you.
This is a safe space for anyone journeying through pregnancy up to one year postpartum. Babies are absolutely welcome as our honored guests! Feel free to feed, diaper, and move about the space whenever you need to. Tears are honored here, joy is shared, and showering is optional—seriously, come exactly as you are!
Together, we’ll explore the highs and lows of transitioning into parenthood, and celebrate the birth of a new year, our babies, and ourselves as mothers.
