We are living in a time where loneliness is epidemic and community is distant.

We are living in a time where loneliness is epidemic and community is distant.
We need villages to raise children, mothers and families – and village-mindedness is rare. The current structures do not support the deep longing we have to mother and be mothered in community. We are living out of alignment with the fundamental needs of humans for connection and togetherness.
And women especially suffer.
In a culture stripped of wisdom and rites of passages, we are invited back into connection with the oldest code.
Women gathering.
This moment is a powerful window of opportunity for repair. Together we’ll build the habits, structures and relationships that will sustain us, as mothers and leaders in our families and communities.

Has motherhood left you feeling isolated, disconnected and longing for community?
Do you know in your bones that there's a deeper, more connected pathway of wisdom for you and the mothers in your life or business?
Do you want to be part of creating MotherCulture on behalf of our ancestors, our children and generations to come?

I feel profoundly changed through this process.
"The facilitator training was so rich and so deep for me - and it’s been mirroring and playing out in my life alongside the content - so I feel actually quite profoundly changed through this process in terms of my own mothering and skills, my ability to hold space, and my awareness of all the new content I’ve learned."

You believe.
You see.
You know.
You are here because you believe that the health of mothers matters, and that when mothers thrive, communities thrive.
You see that the cultural fabric is torn, especially in the postpartum time, and you want to do something about that.
You know that early mothering is a time ripe for maturation and self-discovery and you want to help reclaim that for women.
You know that we are not meant to do this alone and concentric circles of mothers supporting mothers is the answer.

What is Facilitator Training?
A comprehensive online 9 week training and certificate program for women who desire to create, strengthen and lead circles of mothers in their in person or online communities using the MotherCircle format and curriculum.
You may already have a book club, or a women’s circle, or a professional offering – or maybe you have never led a circle, but are craving connection on a deeper level. Either way, this training will prepare you with the skills you need to create spaces for mothers to hold, cultivate and practice wisdom.
With the MotherCircle curriculum as our guide, we will go through it week by week to ensure understanding of the foundational content, as well as practice and develop the facilitation skills you’ll need to teach and facilitate a group experience. These skills will prepare you to lead groups through this curriculum as well as serve you in other areas of leadership in your community.
I learned SO much about facilitation, maturity, trusting myself...how to stay grounded...
"I learned SO much about facilitation, maturity, trusting myself/the participants and the circle, how less is often more when it comes to sharing information, and the true nuts and bolts of how to stay grounded/protect the circle regardless of what may come up. I feel like I got more than a peek behind the curtain of what I’ve witnessed Kimberly do in countless trainings, and saw how the material we were learning was in action in our class, in the breakout rooms, the group shares, and more."

I’m so grateful for MotherCircle and Kimberly’s passion behind it.
"Kimberly facilitates with a grounding presence, and is so gifted in meeting the energy and diverse experiences of each group she leads. Her embodied presentation of the material invites us all to the depths and intimate layers of the motherhood journey together, like no other circle I’ve been in. She’s able to weave in dynamic guest speakers with such grace, models the power of a silent pause, and her laugh is infectious. I’m so grateful for MotherCircle and Kimberly’s passion behind it. I look forward to another round!"

Being in circle with other women healed so much in me and filled a longing I've had for very long time.
"This guide is comprehensive, while not being too heavy on text, but allowing space for the Facilitator to sprinkle in their stories & experience. I love all the color photos as well. It's very well planned & it's clear a lot of thought & work went into it. Thank you. On a personal note being in circle with other women healed so much in me and filled a longing I've had for very long time. I'm so happy to be a MotherCircle Facilitator and start to build mother culture for our future."

Intuitive, deeply authentic, and of great integrity.
"A profound part of Kimberly’s genius is her capacity to hold containers for various types of experiences. She knows the quality of presence each container requires by virtue of its purpose. In working with her, you receive a unique combination of more didactic forms of education, together with an embodied modeling of the material that’s intuitive, deeply authentic, and of great integrity.”
