Closed Mothers Circle

What a marvel you are. You hold it all with grace, acceptance and devotion.

Your arms are open, your love endless, your boundaries porous.

I see you. I am right here with you.

You feel the pull to nurture all parts of you, to connect back to yourself, to plug into your thoughts, feelings, needs, desires in a space that is just yours.

You can feel deep in your bones that you are not meant to do mum life alone. You are craving for more community, connection, friendship, honest, inspiring mums in your day to day.

You have an inner knowing that you are moving through a portal of change, a time of discovery, growth and power.

And you want to be seen, supported, and heard through it all.

This is what you deserve, dear Mama.

Self sacrificing, mothering in isolation, not being heard in your experience, bottling up your feelings - they are all old patterns, old ways of mothering.

Now is your time. The time to change.

Our arms are open.

Sit in circle and feel connected to yourself, your community, and the wisdom that lives in the spaces where women gather together.

Belong in a community of women who truly get it and sees you, just as you are.

I am deeply honoured to offer a closed circle container for mothers in 2026.

From January to November we will meet monthly to share stories and to witness each other as we move through the seasons and cycles of the year.

This circle container is for mothers. Because mothers need spaces that are their own. Mothers need honesty, unconditional love and witnessing from others who truly get it. Mothers deserve honouring, understanding and space to reflect.

Pregnant, new babe in arms or deep into mothering. All are welcome.

A women’s circle is a sacred space created intentionally for women to gather.

Where women come together to feel seen, safe, heard, held and witnessed on their journeys through life.

Circle is a space to just be, to relax, to reflect, to decompress. Time in your month, every month, to reconnect to yourself and connect with other women moving through similar experiences.

Groups run by and for women are our psychic turf;

our place to discover who we are, or who we become

as whole independent human beings

Somewhere in our lives, each of us needs a free place, a little psychic territory

Do you have yours?

Gloria Steinem.

Are you?

Looking for a space to experience deep connection with other women

Needing somewhere to lay out your thoughts and feelings and to truly be heard

Longing to be held, witnessed and seen as your true self

Needing somewhere to unravel and regulate your nervous system

Ready to slow down and put yourself first

The Magic of circle …

Women’s circles are a place to reclaim our power, our stories, our wisdom

Circles allow women to talk without the need to be fixed or rescued from our feelings

Women’s circles create opportunities for personal growth and transformation.

Women’s circles provide places of genuine connection, weaving threads of friendship & support.

A circle of women can hold you through the ups and downs of life

Circles are oxytocin-fuelled fun. Enjoy big belly laughs and get high without the comedown

Deeply seeing and hearing each other in circle and holding confidentially, can help to heal old sister wounds or jealousy, competition and gossiping.

Magic happens when women are together.

Now is your time…

To build genuine connection, friendships, and a deeper understanding of yourself. To exhale. To arrive. To be witnessed.

Gather each month with the same group of women.

Each time we meet, we deepen. Co-creating the space, building familiarity and allowing trust to grow.

Circling together with the same women invites us to know each other beyond words. It opens space for friendship, community to form naturally, for stories to be shared and for each of us to be gently witnessed and held in our becoming.

We know who to expect, and what to expect, at each circle we attend.

We come to recognise the faces, the families, the mothers, the voices that surround us. And throughout our time together, we hear our own stories shift and change, our lives changing in rhythm with one another.

Now is your time to gather, to be held, and to remember that you were never meant to do this alone.

The details

11 months of community and connection. From January to November we will meet with intention. 9 months of monthly circles February to October. And 2 semi structured connection events (one in January and one in November).

Circles will be held on a Sunday once a month. In each circle you will find yourself in a quiet, intentional space with mothers from all walks of life and stages of mothering. I will create an altar each time we meet with candles, statues, flowers, and oracle cards. You will be met with open arms, a hot cup of tea and a selection of snacks.

The 2 semi structured connection events will be held on a Saturday evening in Jan and Nov. We will meet in the same venue as circle and share a meal. You will have the opportunity to get to know each of the women in the closed container in a deeper way and be guided gently through moments that support connection and foster friendship and community.

It is intended that up to 10 women will join the container. No new members will be added once the circle is closed.

True belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world.

In case you’re wondering, will I fit in? I want to offer you this.

Circle is a no bullshit zone, a place where women get to show up exactly as they are, they’re fully expressed selves.

This is a space where you get to pull down the mask and be received as you are with unconditional positive regard.

This is a space for everyone, every type of mother, with any age child. Imperfections, warts and all!

My promise to you; I will commit to upholding the principal of: come as you are, throughout our time together.

We are all the students in circle

It's okay to be the newbie. Everyone has attended their first circle, just like you. First times are nerve wreaking, no matter what it is, I get it.

And, it's not as scary as you think it will be, promise.

Because this circle is a closed container, I assure you, we will all be starting and ending at the same time, in the same way, with the same people.

Even if there are seasoned circle goers in the group everyone will be given the same information, same opportunities to feel comfortable, the same time and space.

Trust that you have felt the pull for a reason and know that circle is a practice for all of us.

Hey there,
I’m Ali!

I have many titles but essentially I am your peer, a mentor, a coach, a listening and compassionate ear and a warm hug all rolled into one.

I’m a mum to two boys - 6 and 3. We live with my husband, Stu in Kallista.

I am a postpartum doula, women’s circle facilitator, and a motherhood and matrescence mentor. All these things really just mean that I am dedicated to the space of mother CARE.

I love a cuppa and a chat and bringing intention into a space. I create spaces that offer opportunity for connection, community and reflection. Each time we meet I will bring beauty to our space, create meaning and weave in connection to our bodies, our stories and mother earth. I’ll always bring something yummy to eat and one of my many oracle decks (slightly obsessed!).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to come to every circle?

When you commit to these circles, I ask that if you plan to attend as many as possible. You will receive a card with all the dates in the first circle, reminders in the community group and an email reminder every month. As a pillar of circle we encourage self responsibility and that means consciously adding these dates to your calendar and prioritising this time for yourself.

What do I say when it’s my turn? Is there a theme?

You will be guided through each step of circle and will not be expected or pressured to participate in anything you don't want to. In the sharing part of circle I usually offer opportunity to speak to what’s on your heart and alive for you at this moment. I will occasionally bring themes to circle for us to talk to. You will be given the theme the week of circle.

Payment Agreements

When you select to pay via payment plan you agree to pay all payments in full until the total amount is paid. This is irrespective of whether you decide to no longer attend due to illness, change of mind or inability to attend circle.

If there is a drastic change in your circumstances, please reach out to me. I am always open to discussing extenuating circumstances.

I’ve never been to a circle before, is everyone going to know something I don’t?

Coming to circle for the first time can be a nerve wracking thing! I am intentional about making the space as comfortable as possible and one way to do this is with information. I will provide information and guidelines in circle to support you in alleviating nerves. Although sitting in circle as women has deep history, it is uncommon in today’s society and can feel uncomfortable at first. Once you have sat in circle it will likely stir a remembering within you and comfort will come.

What do I wear to a women’s circle? Is there nudity? What do I bring?

You can wear what ever you feel most comfortable and these are not nude circles. Simply bring what you need to be comfortable. Snacks and tea are provided but you’re welcome to bring some water. A journal can be helpful for times when you may want to write something down.

What happens in circle?

You will arrive and be greeted with the offer of a cuppa tea. You will find a cushion to sit on, there is usually a little bit of chatter while everyone arrives. Ali will open circle with a grounding or somatic practice. We will each call ourselves present by lighting a candle. Ali will lead theme discussion, journalling or meditation. And then open sharing - where each woman has an opportunity to talk without interruption. Wisdom weaving offered after sharing and then grounding or somatic practice to finish.

What happens if I can’t make it? Or I move away?

If it’s one off, just reply to the reminder email or let the group know in the community group. If there’s a drastic change to your circumstances, please reach out to me and we will work together to find a solution.

Can I bring my kid(s)?

Babes in arms are welcome in circle. It’s important to remember that these circles will involve candles and therefore are not appropriate for children older than 6 months, or those who aren’t necessarily happy to sit in your arms and want to crawl around.

Refunds

No refund given due to illness, change of mind or inability to attend a circle.

This policy is in place to honour the energy, intention and planning that goes into creating and holding this circle, including reserving your place in an intimate, limited-capacity space.

This policy also respects each of the other mothers in the container, knowing that you have committed to them as well as yourself.
