A comprehensive 9 week online certification program created and led by Kimberly Ann Johnson for women who desire to create, strengthen and lead circles of mothers using the MotherCircle format and curriculum.
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.
In a culture stripped of wisdom and rites of passages, we are invited back into connection with the oldest code.
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.

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 believe. You see. You know.

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.
