Mothercircle
Discover the arc of your motherhood journey
Mothercircle is an immersive 8 week journey into self discovery and shifting the broader culture around motherhood. Join in community to dive in to the many realms encompassed in motherhood. explore physical, emotional, spiritual and archetypal themes and uncover the lost and missing pieces of your own journey.
Why mothercircle?
MotherCircle brings clarity to all the parts and pieces you’ve never been able to put words to. It sheds a light on the dark crevices, yearning to be seen. It walks us through our own psyche, and brings us out the other side with a clearer understanding of who we are as an individual and as a mother. It is a piece of the puzzle we have been searching for.
Who is Mothercircle for?
MotherCircle is for the woman in any stage of motherhood. From the very beginnings of her journey, not yet with babes in arms, to the grandmother marked with lines of wisdom. From the newly postpartum mama to the one sending her child off on their own. From the mother who has suffered loss to the one expecting for the first time. If this calls to you, you are welcomed.

You have small children
You have grown children

You care for mothers in some way. As a doula, a midwife, a lactation consultant, a postpartum doula, an OB, a yoga or pilates instructor, a facilitator of womens spaces.
“This safe space facilitated by Marisa allowed me to be in flow again. It was a push that I didnt know I needed and didnt know how to ask for. I needed community. Sisterhood in motherhood. My whole being was in need of the nourishing from other mamas, either in spirit or in real life. As a new mama, I was held in this new transformation as a provider, nurturer, vessel, and the all around mana wahine that needed a reminder that I can still be ME - amongst the beauty and chaos.”

WHAT WILL THE CLASSES COVER?
Becoming a mother is underworld journey. We learn, the story of Inanna, how to locate ourselves in such a journey, how to be present to it, where our culture leaves us lost, and how to honor the rites of passage.
We explore the many cycles of nature, our biology, and psychology as women. By understanding our connection to the cycles of nature and the greater archetypes of humanity we are better able to integrate our own experiences and life transitions.
Everything a new baby needs a new mother also needs. Learn about the five universal postpartum needs and discover how to come back home to our bodies regardless of where we are in our motherhood journey.
The predator and prey dynamic is present in each of our nervous systems. We identify what we tend towards and learn how nervous system awareness effects our mothering and our every day life.
Birth is an initiatory experience that needs to be integrated, potentially many times over. As we change over time our relationship to our birth experience(s) changes too. Learn how to draw wisdom from your experience(s) and apply it to your motherhood journey.
Explore the relationship between motherhood and your sexuality and all the multifaceted layers in between. Learn how to connect with yourself as a lover and individual as you are constantly changing. Become more at home in your body and your sexuality.
Take a look at your internalized views on motherhood, work, worth, and value. Learn how to nurture your worth as part of your mothering practice and explore the way motherhood changes the way we relate to your work in the world.
What is your MotherCode? Get clear on the values that make you, you, and the pieces of your mother line you would like to carry forward. Create a statement to return to over and over through all the up’s and down’s of motherhood. Build a world you want to be a part of.
Meet your facilitator
Marisa is a mama to three, doula, space holder, certified MotherCircle facilitator, herbal medicine enthusiast, and a strong believer in the power of being seen, heard, and nourished.
She has been holding space for women for over ten years through her work as a doula, facilitating women’s circles, hosting retreats for mothers, and holding space for mama’s to explore the wonders of nature’s cycles along side their children.
Marisa finds deep fulfillment in holding space to help women explore and discover the parts of themselves they have been missing and to come home to themselves over and over again.
“MotherCircle helped me to visit parts of my journey through motherhood that had been glossed over throughout the years - and brought up some emotions that I wasn't expecting to still be so raw after having been a momma for so long. I transitioned from woman to mother when I was 17, and did not have the community support of other women that I so desperately needed, so having the ability to witness other mothers, and be witnessed, was so very special. If you feel even the slightest nudge that MotherCircle might be something your soul needs, I would definitely honor that. Marisa's guidance through the material and exercises feels like a big, warm hug that you maybe didn't even know you needed.”
-Crystal (former MotherCircle participant)
