My heart is invested in being a part of a movement that is creating a mother culture, where mothers will be honored for their beauty in strength & celebrated for the rites of passages experienced.
What is “Mother Culture? “It is a movement that recognizes the profound impact that a mother’s growth and well being can have on her children and community.” It encourages mothers to invest in themselves just as much as they invest in those around them. It offers spaces where mothers can sink into themselves beyond being a mother, while embracing the new versions of themselves as a mother.
There’s a deep need to remind mothers that they are not meant to do this alone, having a circle of mothers, elders and feminine support has been the roots of motherhood in many cultures around the world for centuries, though lacking in our current culture. “This cultural fabric is torn” and I am here to help create a reparative experience for “the epidemic of disconnection facing mothers today.”
Imagine the children that get to experience this environment, having a mother that is deeply connected to herself and her needs, with the knowledge, understanding and respect of the “ foundational principles in the arc of the motherhood journey” and how it shapes not only her life but the lives of those around her.
“Through learning to create a sacred space where mothers gather, connect, reflect and learn, we will mend the threads and build MotherCulture together”
The MotherCulture movement is an investment in the well-being of mothers, offering a space to connect in community, to share stories, to heal together and to have deeper levels of conversation around motherhood.
When we gather as women, and as mothers, we create an opportinutiy for deep healing, as we witness each other in moments of vulnerabilty. We create a sense of normalcy when we share shadowy aspects of our motherhood journey. We address the mother wound that swirls within so many of us. We create safety, we create a sense of acceptance and peace.
“Mothering is demanding, revelatory, complex and redemptive.”
When we start to become honest about the journey of motherhood, and the demands society has placed on us, we are able to create a space of healing and change. Growth comes from these conversations, the weight of motherhood can be shifted once we see the truest forms of the motherhood journey, coming back to the sacredness of it. The expectations that were subliminally handed to us, can be dissolved, making space to become a version of ourselves that we maybe felt we didn’t have access to.
When we have spaces to be witnessed, seen, heard and validated; we thrive as humans. When we thrive, our environments shift, our realities shift. We create an opportunity for us to take our power back as women and as mothers. We heal the mother line backwards and forwards. We soften, and make more time for play, for our children and for our inner child.
Imagine how it would feel to have so much of the societal pressures sifted through with a deeper understanding of how those pressures have inspired so much of who we are as mothers. How the unresolved wounds from society, and our own mothers have molded us into the mother we have showed up as. We then have opportunities to ask ourselves what are the values we have been creating from and what values do we want to create from? See may see choice where we hadn’t before.
“Women are finally getting honest about motherhood. There’s space in the culture for this formerly invisible experience. Our safety no longer depends on our perfection and our role-play.”

Con Amor,
