About this Event
Led by Nathalie a somatic practitioner, therapeutic art facilitator, mother, and guide.
This monthly gathering offers a compassionate and nurturing space for mothers with babies 0-12 months who may be moving through something tender or challenging. Whether you are grieving, feeling overwhelmed, navigating intense anxiety, or simply experiencing a low or difficult season, this circle invites you to soften, be held, and reconnect with yourself. It is also a space to begin building tools that support you through these emotional processes—tools that help you feel more grounded, resourced, and supported as you navigate the complexities of motherhood.
Together, we will utilize therapeutic art practices as a way to gently explore what may be living beneath the surface. Therapeutic art is not about creating something beautiful or “getting it right”—it is a supportive process that allows emotions, memories, and insights to express themselves through color, shape, and symbol. By engaging the creative mind, we bypass the pressure to explain or analyze and instead allow the inner world to emerge in a compassionate, non-judgmental way. This can offer clarity, release, and a deeper understanding of what you are carrying.
You will also be guided through somatic experiencing practices that help you tune into the sensations, emotions, and cues from your body. These practices cultivate awareness of what is arising in the present moment and support you in meeting these experiences with more grounding, spaciousness, and care. Somatic tools will be woven throughout the circle to help regulate the nervous system, restore balance, and build inner resources you can return to in everyday life.
This circle is also about building tools that support your emotional and mental wellbeing as a mother—resources you can continue to lean on as you navigate the ongoing journey of motherhood. Over time, you will gather practices, insights, and embodied experiences that help you respond with more clarity, compassion, and steadiness, both for yourself and for your children.
This is a safe space to share what is unfolding for you and to feel witnessed without judgment. Here, you are invited to slow down, be supported, and release what you may have been holding. As you reconnect with your own inner steadiness and compassion, you create more space to show up with love and presence for your children, and for yourself.
Grounding, creative, and restorative, this gathering is an opportunity to breathe, nourish your emotional landscape, and find community with other mothers walking a similar path.
