Wise Mothers
Wise Mothers is a six-week journey for mothers seeking to deepen their wisdom, intuition, and presence in motherhood. Rooted in the understanding that the mother is the first teacher, we explore how wisdom is cultivated—not just through knowledge, but through lived experience, deep listening, and trust in one’s own inner guidance. Over the 6 weeks, we will weave together storytelling, reflection, movement, voice and shared wisdom, creating space for mothers to remember their own inner wisdom.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SAY THAT THE MOTHER IS THE CHILD'S FIRST TEACHER?
************
As Mothers, we are said to have access to inner-wisdom.
We are told to fill our cups first.
When we are exhausted, we are told to practice self-care.
When we don't know the answers, we are told to connect to our intuition.
When we are struggling, we are told to follow our inner wisdom.
But it's hard to feel WISE when we are stressed, isolated and given very
little guidance in what they say is the most important role in existence.
That of the Mother.
If we have to be our child's first teacher too...isn't that yet ANOTHER job for us to have to live up to?
On top of what is ALREADY an overwhelming role?
WE ARE MOTHERING IN AN AGE OF INFORMATION OVERLOAD AFTER ALL.
There is so much information to stay on top of.
What do I feed my child? How do I protect my child?
How do I make sure my child is happy, healthy & whole?
It can be difficult to tune into our instincts amongst the noise and sleep
deprivation.
WISE MOTHERS IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.
Wise Mothers was created to inspire, support, and empower Mothers in the most important role of their lives.
Because we were not meant to do this in isolation.
We will reclaim the sacred role of motherhood as a path of transformation and learning.
The Wise Mothers journey is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and step into your power as a Wise Mother.
A 6-week experience designed to support Mothers.
Because we believe EVERYONE BENEFITS when Mothers feel connected, nourished and full of joy.
We change when we become Mothers.
And it can be difficult to recognise this new version of ourselves.
WISE MOTHERS WAS DESIGNED AS A SAFE SPACE FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO YOURSELF.
WISE MOTHERS IS A SPACE FOR YOU TO EXPLORE THE ROLE OF
MOTHERHOOD - SO YOU CAN
DISCOVER THE UNIQUE INNER
WISDOM THAT LIES WITHIN YOU.
Because NO-ONE can Mother quite like YOU.
