mothercircle

motherhood is a journey. mothercircle is your map.

Motherhood is meant to change you. But without context and community, it’s easy to lose yourself along the way.

Women need somewhere to gather. A space that can hold the full spectrum of the motherhood experience – from the magical to the mundane.

This is that place.

MotherCircle is a series of 8 virtual gatherings that help you locate yourself, integrate your experiences and emerge with clarity and confidence. 

It is for women in all stages of mothering, from pre-conception to postpartum. It’s a place to ask big questions, repair old patterns, and create new narratives.

This is the context and container you’ve been missing.

Come claim your seat in circle.

an ancient ritual, reimagined ∙

You’re a new mom. half the time you’re overjoyed! The other half? Completely overwhelmed. 

You love your baby beyond words. AND you feel totally bowled over by how your life has changed. Or more specifically, exploded.

Nothing was untouched: your body, your friendships, your relationship, your work, your sexuality, your entire identity… the list goes on.

And your “self care” isn’t exactly moving the needle:

🅧 endlessly scrolling Instagram for posts that resonate

🅧 venting to mom friends at the playground

🅧 sending reels about the mental load to your partner

🅧 an hour of 1:1 talk therapy every other week

🅧 a nightly date with wine and Netflix

But what if there was more to motherhood than we’ve been told?

We believe that motherhood is a rite of passage. An invitation to the next version of yourself. An opportunity to evolve.

What if you could:

→ Gather with women who want to go deep

→ Make sense (and meaning) of your experiences

→ Rediscover your desire in all senses

→ Have appreciation for and attraction to your partner

→ Show up as the parent your child needs

→ Widen your capacity to take in more JOY

So much can shift so much in a short time, with the right support.

join the next round of MotherCircle

Tired. Inspired. Overstimulated. Tender.
With or without a kid in your lap.
Show up late. Miss a week. Come back. Begin again.

This space was made to hold you—not change you.

Most women wait to join until life settles.
Until the baby sleeps. The calendar clears. Work lets up.
But who is holding the woman you are now?

The next round of MotherCircle begins Sunday, May 18, on Zoom.

Sign up and choose from two weekly session times:

🌀 Sundays: 2–3:15pm PT, or

what to expect

There aren’t traditional introductions. You’ll never be in the spotlight – unless you want to be. We contribute to the circle through our bodies as much as our words.

MOTHERCIRCLE IS NOT A PLACE FOR:

  • endless venting

  • advice giving

  • telling every detail of a story

  • therapy (though it is therapeutic!)

  • open-ended sharing

INSTEAD, YOU WILL RECEIVE:

  • a tightly held container

  • small group sharing

  • witnessing without judgement

  • short somatic practices

  • wisdom from attuned women

MotherCircle is an 8-week, live virtual circle
for women in all stages of mothering—

Pre-conception. Pregnancy. Loss. Postpartum. And beyond…

Each week, we gather to explore the identity-shifting, soul-shaping experience of motherhood—
From ambition to ancestry. From body to boundaries. From the magical to the mundane.

OUR NEXT CIRCLE BEGINS THE WEEK OF SUNDAY, MAY 18TH.

Sign up and choose from two weekly session times:

🌀 Sundays at 2–3:15pm PT, or

🌀 Fridays at 12–1:15pm PT

Come to whichever session works for you each week.

Same content. Same community. More flexibility.

I’m Shari, and I’ll be your guide.

I am a certified MotherCircle facilitator who built a thriving career at the intersection of wellness and tech before giving birth in 2022.

Like so many women, I struggled to integrate my changing identity as a new mom with who I was expected to be in the the world. I felt beyond grateful for my baby and entirely bowled over by the postpartum period. I knew I’d experienced something earth-shattering, but didn’t have the understanding (or the energy!) to unpack it. Ultimately I made the difficult decision to take a career pause, to care for my son – and myself.

Discovering the MotherCircle community shifted everything. Week by week, I began to see the bigger picture. I was able to zoom out and also turn inward. The curriculum was like a compass, offering the context and meaning I’d been missing.

I answered the call to become a facilitator myself, training under the mentorship of MotherCircle founder and friend, Kimberly Ann Johnson. The impact was immediate. Every woman in my circles experienced their own profound shifts: a single mom-to-be who chose IVF, a woman ready to reflect on her postpartum depression 7 years later, a mom in the fourth trimester tending to herself while holding her newborn. Each story made the circle deeper, richer, more robust. I knew I needed to share this offering more widely - and Woven was born.

I see matrescence (or the process of becoming a mother) as a threshold moment that holds incredible potential for healing and growth. And now, through my work as a MotherCircle facilitator and coach, I can create the container for women to move through their maturation process with purpose.
