The health of mothers matters.
When mothers thrive, children and communities can thrive.
The more I am on this path of motherhood, the more I feel this truth in my bones, my body, my heart and my soul.
I've experienced how profound it can be to be with other mothers in a contained circle and am now so honored to be a part of the first round of facilitators trained by Kimberly Ann Johnson and Jessica Connolly at MotherCircle.
I'll be offering MotherCircles in my local area of Durham, North Carolina and online.
First ONLINE circle begins October 16th
Mondays 7:00pm - 8:15pm ET
Move into the holiday season grounded and supported
All mothers are welcome

MotherCircle is a transformative 8-week experience to help you understand the unseen arc of your motherhood journey.
MotherCircle is for ALL mothers, grandmothers, mothers to be, or women holding space for mothers. It supports all stages and seasons and honors that there are many ways we come to motherhood including birth, adoption, foster, kinship, blended, and more. In circle you can put the pieces of your own motherhood journey together in a supportive community and mine the profound wisdom that wants to come to the surface. Sitting in circle with women is the oldest code. We gather with intention and we evolve together through genuine support, honesty, witnessing and deep courage. |
We are building the world we want to leave to our children and future generations.
We are building mother culture together.
We are building mother culture together.

When we gather in circle together, we feel less alone.
One of the many responses to "Why MotherCircle?"
from my own experience.
from my own experience.
"In MotherCircle, there’s a wisdom that is unique. It’s like the circle holds wisdom itself and all the grandmothers who came before us are there helping us remember our own wisdom.
The journey we go on allows all to be seen, felt, heard, and witnessed. There’s a pause to metabolize all the unseen parts of a mother’s journey—the physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual, archetypal, and ancestral." -Karla Johnston-Krase
Here's how we flow through the weeks and what the classes cover
Entering motherhood is often an underworld journey, often not seen and recognized by the outer world. Learn the arc of this journey, the tools to present to it, and be witnesses as you locate yourself within it.
Everything a new baby needs, a new mother also needs. Everything a child transitioning into a new family needs, the one who is mothering them also needs. Learn a powerful framework for assessing your physical and emotional wellness, and how to tend to what’s needed in your body no matter where you are at in your motherhood journey.
Birth is an initiatory experience that fundamentally changes us. No matter how a woman grows her family or welcomes a child, a mother is born and this too is an initiatory experience. We’ll explore ways to access and share this experience that locates the wisdom that it has to offer for our motherhood journeys
Motherhood changes how we relate to our work in the world. Explore the relationship between your worth and your value and anchor the things that nurture your worth as part of your mothering practice.
|
Awareness of our cyclical nature can help us align with our innate wisdom as mothers.. Explore how being in rhythm with the cycles in and around us gives us more access to our wholeness and our power.
The predator - prey dynamic is present in our experience of birth and motherhood. Explore how this awareness and understanding of your nervous system can impact your everyday life and mothering.
There is often a split between being a mother and being sexual. Learn how to connect with your ever changing sexuality as a mother and become more at home in your body and your sexuality.
We have a powerful opportunity to imagine the legacy we’d like to leave. We are shaped by our motherline and the mothers around us, and we can choose what we want to carry forward. Together we’ll Identify the values that we want to guide our mothering and shape our lineage.

Class Details for October Online Circle...
Each week includes live classes, breathwork, meditation, reflection exercises and engaged discussion inside the private facebook community.
- 8 live weekly classes on Mondays October 16th through December 4th. Each class is 75 minutes long.
- Access to a Private Facebook group for connections, questions, and insights that may come in between sessions
- Access to recordings if you happen to miss a live call.
- Discount on any movement, motherhood, or Ayurvedic Wellness classes offered during the duration of MotherCircle.
- OPTIONAL: For women mothering a child born from another mother's womb, I'll be offering 2-3 additional classes (45-60 minutes each) to offer added support and space to integrate any unique complexities that may have created confusion in your body or have not been welcomed, seen, or understood in other spaces. We'll be with them and with each other and tend to our bodies and stories in gentle ways that connect to the unique wisdom from this unique circle. I will try offer these at different times so you can make it to at least one.
Agreements to help us create this container...
This all contributes to the profound experience of this kind of gathering.
- Please plan to attend all 8 gatherings, as we move through this arc each week leads to the next and you will experience the full arc. Of course, life happens, however this is how you can get the most from this. Email Karla with any questions about this.
- Please plan to show up on time as we will begin promptly and open our circle together.
- More detailed agreements will be offered in the first circle (Mother Dive), as a way to uphold a clear container for connection and transformation.
- General notes: This IS a space for learning, education, curiosity, reflection and honesty. It IS a space where we honor confidentiality. It is NOT therapy, although it can feel therapeutic. It is NOT as space for advice giving or where all of one's grievances land. We will create a clear container for integration and journey together. It is unique, powerful, and honoring of the full range of a mother's journey to and through motherhood.

Women circling is the oldest code.
We know from ancient wisdom and modern research that when women gather, their mental health is supported and improves. When we gather in circle, we can explore what it means to be mother and source wisdom from each other, the circle itself, and access our own wisdom. We experience what it's like to be witnessed and witness each other. What is truly amazing is when we witness and listen to other mothers share, we often feel like parts of our own story and self are witnessed too.
