Mother Nurture

COMMUNITY CARE FOR MOTHERS

Subscription-based virtual community: Devoted to creating and modelling a culture that honours the sacred work of Mothers.

“We need to create & fortify community - as if our lives depended on it - because they do” - Rachelle Garcia Seliga, Innate Traditions

  • “The sense of sisterhood with other women seeking to connect with the fullness of what it means to be birthed into motherhood has been deeply restorative for my nervous system and supportive for my emergence through this rite and ceremony”

  • “I first joined Amy's mother circles in London, when she created one of the first spaces for all women to come together and honour their pregnancy losses. Whether abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth, all were welcome. I found it so healing and I realised the power of her facilitation in letting me, and others, witness one another as mothers in all ways. Not through judgement or shame. Fast forward many years on, I became a mother (again!) and I was overjoyed to prepare through my pregnancy for the birth of my child with Amy and her Mother Nurture monthly meetings. I absorbed, spoke, cried, listened and allowed myself the time to really resource with what I needed as a mother to welcome my new baby”

  • “Amy shines a light and holds your virtual hand while she does it. I feel like the landscape of my mind has changed since connecting with her. I wish everyone had Amy and the community she is fostering”

  • "I really enjoyed the Mother Nurture call, sharing a space with women with so many different experiences and perspectives. It felt like I was in the right place. Reinforcing the message that I need to pay more attention to my own needs"

  • “This is a space where everyone can truly be themselves: there is a willingness to be messy, vulnerable, “wrong” etc, which allows me to do the same. It’s very rare and often difficult to achieve in shared spaces like this, especially with motherhood where so much seems too raw to touch and so many women are still deeply entrenched in competition and perfection”

  • “I really value the regularity of the space holding in Mother Nurture, especially the calls. Even when I’m lost in the day to day of mothering and general life, the calls bring ceremony and ritual that ground me and make me feel held and seen. It’s like a full body/mind reset each time”

  • “It’s rare to find the kind of support that takes me only deeper into myself, my power, my knowing and my wisdom. It's so rare. So much interference can come through external support. I don't feel any of that with you and the containers you hold. I honor you, your work and what you magnetize, attract and create because it feels like the most supportive holding thing, but the least interfering. That's pretty freaking masterful”

It takes a village to raise a Mother.

Mother Nurture was born out of a desire to create a space for Mothers to see themselves and each other. Mother’s don’t need more advice, they need to be witnessed. Mothers don’t need more spaces to feel overwhelmed by tips on how they could be doing it better or what they could be doing more of. What I have noticed in my years of therapeutic support of women while navigating any rite of passage, is that any attempt to fix is futile as it bypasses the necessary process of death and rebirth when our identities need to shape shift. This process cannot be rushed. The Mother Nurture community is a space for adjacent / circular teaching and support. I hold the space but each mother sits along side one another - in commitment to receiving her own wisdom and the collective wisdom of the group. Wisdom in the form of tears, of rage, of laughter, of relief, of song, of silence. As Mothers, now more than ever, our primary need is community because it’s an energy and space in which we feel SEEN, in a culture that does not see or revere the energy and work of Mother(s). 

TO SEE (TRUTH)

AND BE SEEN (AS WE ARE)

Motherhood is the spiritual embodiment of the most “advanced” teaching of all, the capacity to hold polarity. Motherhood is both beautiful and brutal. It is the True embodiment of union of mind, body and spirit. Motherhood doesn’t need yoga, meditation or ice baths to demonstrate her connection to God / Love / Presence / Spirit. She *is* the connection. That is the frequency we tap into in Mother Nurture - that connection, which is innate to every one of us.

MOTHER NURTURE COMMUNITY

We are a diverse global community of mothers who come together minimum of twice a month online, in ceremony, to witness, share and commune with the sacred path of mothering. Members describe this space as “deep transformative therapy”.

Our common thread is our humanity. No dogma. No parenting advice. Bring all of your self: Your good, bad, sad, mad, ashamed, scared, Mother. All of her is welcome.

Just raw connection, community and a collective desire to unlearn internalised martrydom, and remember that the wellbeing of our family is dependent on how nourished, nurtured, seen, we are as mothers.

This offering includes:

EVERY FULL MOON CALL: 3 hours of mother medicine: Sharing and witnessing

EVERY NEW MOON CALL: Hold the Mother: Centred around one mother who needs support

QUARTERLY CALLS: Integration call or guest teacher

Up to 5 hours of community calls, every month. Members also have a say on days and times to accomodate a diverse schedule. Members can watch replays in my online portal on Momence.

ONLINE FORUM: We have a shared space on WhatsApp we use to integrate and collectively decide on times of calls. In this space I provide continuity of care, personal reflections and nurturance for kindred spirits on the path.

*NEW* SEASONAL PLAYLISTS: Co-created playlists for all the seasons of the year to support integration

*NEW* MONTHLY TEACHING RESOURCE: Each month I offer written prompts or a practice over video that members can read / watch in their own time in my online portal on Momence.

REPLAYS IN ONLINE PORTAL: Access to all previously recorded calls on Momence

Price: £54 a month

Faqs

  • A: For now, yes. In person events are coming soon to Cape Town.

  • A: Some calls are recorded in the membership for members only, and with their consent. Replays are available for members to watch back

  • A: I’d recommend dropping in to a Full Moon call and you’ll know from one call whether this is something you want to be part of.

  • A: No, I serve the energy of Mother and of Truth, I don’t serve each individual. I hold the space for women to share and be human. The experience of being witnessed is as powerful if not more powerful than “group therapy”, because the truth of who we are is reflected back to us in the experience of being seen, and seeing each other. You are not “facilitated” by me - this is not a hierarchical space.

  • A: Absolutely not. We may share similar values around parenting and life but it is a diverse group - we are learning from each other and growing together.

  • A: Some of my clients are in the mother nurture community and some members of the community are not my clients.

  • A: Yes. As long as the energy of desire to be in this space is there. There is an option to gift a friend at the sign up link.

  • A: No, women who have a desire to learn and witness and be in this space, are welcome. We have had many maidens join our calls and it has been so enriching for all of us. I recommend joining a drop in before signing up to the membership to see if it’s right for you.

  • A: No, we move with the cycle of the moon. Full moon calls and new moon calls are on different days and at different times each month. If you join the membership you will have a say on which days and times as we run polls. They will either fall on the day of the New or Full moon, or around the day.
