Themed Open Circle (Online) – Motherhood – Exploring the Realities, Challenges and Sacredness

A Themed Circle is a small, intimate gathering of women who come together to explore a specific topic – often something many women quietly carry and rarely have space to openly share.

Each Circle focuses on one meaningful theme. These themes are chosen because they touch real-life experiences women commonly navigate, yet may not always feel safe or supported discussing elsewhere.

If you have been longing for a place where your voice matters and your experiences honoured, a Themed Circle may be exactly what you have been looking for.

Motherhood can be one of the deepest experiences of our lives – holding love, tenderness and connection alongside responsibility, exhaustion, changing relationships and sometimes a loss of ourselves.

There is no single experience of motherhood. It can hold joy and fulfilment, uncertainty and change, as well as grief and loss – including pregnancies or children we have lost, or the children we longed for but never had. It can also bring us back to our relationship with our own mothers – what we received, what we missed and what we carry forward.

You’re invited into a gentle, confidential space, led by Dale Herink, to explore what motherhood has meant, and continues to mean, in your life.

A chance to deepen your self understanding, feel less alone in your experiences, and grow through shared wisdom and authentic sharing.

Any woman over 18 is welcome and prior experience in a women’s circle is not necessary, nor is having attended the Woman Within Weekend.

The Themed Circles are run by a lead Guide who has much experience in running Circles and a specific interest in the theme. They will most often be supported by at least one or two other Guides.

These Themed Circles are online and happen on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

They run from 7-9pm.

There is an online Open Circle WhatsApp group that you will be added to if you would like.

There is no fee for attendance, however, donations are welcome to our Support Fund, which helps women who otherwise would not be able to attend the Woman Within offerings.

Please contact our Circle Co-Ordinator if you have any questions.
