MotherRoots

A seasonal weekly support circle for mothers

Motherroots offers a space for us to exhale, be seen, turn inward, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that can so easily become buried beneath the wild and beautiful work of mothering.

When we step outside the rush of daily life and enter into Circle, something shifts…a particular kind of magic happens when we slow down, listen more deeply, remember what matters, and make space for what’s been waiting to be felt and remembered.

Rooted in the natural world and inspired by the rhythms of the seasons, Motherroots invites us to remember that we, too, are cyclical beings. We move through seasons of growth, change, letting go, rest, and renewal.

This is a space to honor those rhythms rather than continually pushing against them.

In Circle we remember our intimate belonging to the living world, to beauty and mystery, to ourselves, one another, and to the sacred.

Come as you are. Be witnessed. Reconnect with yourself.

In the presence of other women, we are reminded that we were never meant to do this alone. Through honest sharing, witnessing, reflection, ritual, and soul-rooting practices we are nourished from the inside out!

Each season, a new circle of mothers gathers weekly outdoors beneath the trees. Together, we create a warm and intentional space for sharing, ritual, nature, and sisterhood.

Through conversation and earth-based, soul-tending practices MotherRoots offers space to:

Share honestly with other mothers without judgment or fixing
Reconnect with your body, intuition, and inner wisdom
Explore seasonal rhythms, nature, and earth-based traditions
Work with myth, ritual, and the archetypes of the feminine
Tend grief, overwhelm, transition, and the parts of ourselves that need care
Discover practices and resources for nourishment and renewal
Build meaningful relationships with other women
Bring more presence, creativity, and aliveness back into family life

A return to the village

As mothers, we are often expected to do it all without the cornerstone village, guiding wisdom, and supportive community that once helped women navigate this profound role. MotherRoots is an invitation to rebuild some of that village.

MotherRoots is rooted in the belief that the wellbeing of mothers matters—not only for ourselves, but for our children, families, communities, and the world we are creating.

When women have a place to be witnessed, supported, nourished, and reminded of our own wisdom…

We remember that we are not failing.

We remember that we were never meant to do this alone.

We begin to reclaim our sacred feminine power.

We become unstoppable forces of nature!

What women are saying

“I longed for a safe space to share the struggles of motherhood without the well-meaning attempts to fix or solve my experience. MotherRoots fulfilled this and so much more. I feel held and heard in our women’s circle and am so grateful for the deepening bonds I’ve forged with my fellow mothers.”

— Caylee Wiyanna

“MotherRoots is a true celebration of our many gifts. With nature and cultural wisdom as trusted guides, participants can expect to look deep within the well of feminine power and maternal roles.”

— Kristin Maharg

“It is the self-care I’ve been longing for for years. Surrounded by wise women and held by Mother Earth herself, Mary Jane has gently led me to the root of what has been holding me back from being my truest authentic self.”

— Annie Johnston

The Gathering

Outdoors in Nature • A Circle of Mothers

Together we share our stories, work with the wisdom of the natural world, and create simple rituals and practices that nourish us beyond the circle.

This is a space to be held by other women—and by the Earth. And to reconnect with the Wild, Wise, Authentic Woman within you.

This is a circle for mothers to gather without little ones so that we have a space to drop in, release, reconnect with ourselves, and return to our families feeling renewed and restored!
