MotherCircle at Souls Center

with Amana Be Love

Return to the ancient practice of circling together

Mother circle is an intentional coming together of women, of all ages so that we may learn together & from one another

Are you craving community & connection? Feeling alone in your experience of Mothering? Then this is the offering for you!

In Mother Circle you will learn tools & practices that will help you ground & find your center again.

Before I became a Mother, I was a Nanny & a Birth Assistant. I had a degree in Sociology & I was an RN & Still I was surprised by birth & motherhood!

I had dreamt of it my whole life, supported other women as they became mothers & now that I was a mother myself I felt lost, disoriented & Alone.

Mother Circle was a safe harbor, a lighthouse for me when I was in the depths of becoming a mother once again to my daughter who was just a few months old when I joined my first Mother Circle.

The gentle arc of the 8 classes gave me tools that helped me to integrate my experience of matresence, to find my flow in unsteady waters. 

I am forever grateful for the mother culture we built together during those 8 weeks & for all the gems of that experience that I carry with me today.

MotherCircle is a unique arc of classes where you will learn Feminine Wisdom (that all women should know), Nervous System Awareness (Female Nervous systems are different than males), Alive Embodiment & Practice of these essential skills!

The Next Mother Circle will start Tuesday January 14th 2025 & take place for 8 consecutive tuesdays

from 11 aM to 12:30 pM PST

Investment: $333

Mother Circle will be held at Souls Center located in the Pelican Building in Kendall Yards:

707 N Cedar St, Spokane, WA 99201 room #2

What will we cover in this 8 week experience?

  • Week 1

    Have you ever felt like Motherhood is an underworld journey? In this class we will explore what it means to experience a rite of passage. Learn about sensation language and practice locating ourselves within our current experience. This first week we will make agreements about how we show up for circle each week.

  • Week 2

    When we take a moment to look, cycles are all around us every day we participate in and experience the cycle of 1 day/night. We will explore new ways of interacting with the cycles that we already know. How can we work with our cycles rather than move against them? Without light there would be no dark. Learn to identify and find balance in the ebbs and flows of the Yin and Yang energy flow of your life.

  • Week 3

    There is no such thing as “bouncing back,” our bodies change across our entire lifetime, never returning to how they once were. Learn about the 5 universal needs of a mother postpartum. We all need them, but most of us aren’t getting them. Do you have a hard time differentiating your body, your energy from that of other people around you? Explore how to differentiate the boundaries of your own physical form.

  • Week 4

    Are you curious about the automatic responses of your nervous system? Do you find yourself, freezing, fawning & fitting in? In this class we will talk about why most women identify with prey, not predators. Learn about healthy aggression & the ways it can be important, especially for women, including in mothering. It is a practice to develop your capacity for activation & have a resilient nervous system.

  • Week 5

    Each birth is a transformative experience, a journey into the unknown, a definitive before and after. Learn about the 5 channels of the nervous system in which we express. You might be very comfortable in one and not another. Together we will explore the movement channel & the magic of communicating without words.

  • Week 6

    Do you view Sensual & Sexual as the same? How are they different? Did you know that women’s full arousal takes 35-45 minutes!? For many women our sex drive & the type of sexual experiences we desire change after we have a baby. In this class we will speak about the unspoken: sexuality & explore how our own sexuality changes across time. This Circle you will have the opportunity to deepen or reconnect to your own intimacy with your body.

  • Week 7

    Where do you find your worth? In today’s modern world it is often modeled that our worth is wrapped up in our paid work in the world. This is the class where we unravel that and explore the tensions between paid work, mothering work and money. Learn how to nurture your wort & value yourself.

  • Week 8

    What is MotherCode? Each of us have unique values that we live by, even if we are not consciously aware of what they are. In this Circle you will have an opportunity to explore the qualities that have been passed down to you & consciously choose which ones you would like to prioritize in your life & in the lives of your children.

What women are Saying about Mother Circle

  • Meghan Persephone Taylor, Artist, Costa Rica

    Amana is a uniquely wise and loving guide along the 8-week journey of Mother Circle. She brings a perfect combination of strength and gentleness to the space where we are both remembering and calling in powerful perspectives, practices and approaches to the ever evolving ancient art of mothering. If you are a mother looking to surround yourself with other women who are exploring the initiatory path of motherhood, I would highly recommend joining Amana in her next round of this very special offering, Mother Circle.

  • Ashleigh, Squamish BC: Financial Advisor

    Mother circle for me was held with curiosity and trust in Amana and what she was offering that would bring me insight and more transformation in my journey as a mother but also woman. Every week her presence just brought so much peace and genuine care and attention to our group and each and every person. The information was easy to digest and fun to explore. It felt hard at times to be vulnerable but when you were witnessing others vulnerability it became easier. The layout of the time together felt very good, the amount of time was great. If at times just sad that our time was done. But the welcome and completion of each circle just felt so supportive and left me excited for the next week every time. I looked forward to our time together and will continue to integrate the knowledge I gained and things I will continue to think about in my mothering journey.I highly recommend this mother circle with Amana for any woman whether they have kids yet or not. There is so much to gain in this time learning about yourself and others that can just help us all grow. Thank you thank you Amana 💖

  • Tamy Roloff, Midwife

    I have known Amana for many years now and have watched her grow into the woman, mother, and wise woman she is today. I was excited to recently join her Mother Circle, eight weeks of meeting with other women discussing and processing our experiences as women and mothers. I wasn’t sure a woman of my age would find connecting in this way useful, since my children are all grown and have children of their own. I found myself looking forward to each new week and to the learning and connection opportunities Mother Circle offered. I grew in my knowledge and appreciation of the line of my women ancestors, practiced new ways of using breath in my daily practices, really focused in on the way I process fear and trauma - to name just a few of my take-aways - as well as having many uplifting conversations with other women in the circle, each of us sharing our stories. I believe that storytelling is how women teach and process their lives, and this was a lovely embodiment of the storytelling model. I am so glad I took the time to be a part of this tradition of women gathering together. Amana is a beautiful soul and I can highly recommend her Mother Circle.

    “It was so wonderful to connect with such a lovely & beautiful group of women once a week, it really helped me to ground & center in myself, reminding me who I am in my community & the power that I hold & carry through this life….. Healing in the presence of other women & witnessing their healing as well was such a powerful & beautiful experience…Mother Circle was a really neat container, I loved the practices, many of them were new to me & that was very exciting to be in uncharted waters puting myself out there in a way that I hadnt. It was very empowering. A lovely experience, I would take it again. Thank you Amana for your lovely leadership!

  • Jami Hoff: OT & Reiki Master

    Mother circle is magical and transformative! I entered with an open mind and left with so much love in my heart. Circling with other woman helps us rediscover that part or parts of us that we have lost. The parts that make us mothers. I highly recommend joining Amana and benefiting from her healing presence.

"When women gather with an intention to hold, to listen, to co-create, and to empower, the possibilities for genuine transformation and impact on the culture are endless." Sarah Marshank

When my daughter was just a few months old, Kimberly Ann Johnson was offering a round of Mother Circle & I just knew it was time for me to invest in the class. Mothercircle was a transformative experience of being held within an intentional scaffolding that allowed me to integrate & heal.

I connected with women around the world,  learned practices that helped me to become more embodied. I found deeper attunement with my baby & unearthed my inner strength.

Mother Circle gave me a framework that I could use to orient to myself & the culture I am mothering within.   

Since that first Mother Circle I have attended another 3 rounds as well as deepen my learning in Kimberly’s Jaguar Courses & In person mentorship at Ghost Ranch. 

In 2023 I had the honor of taking part in the inaugural Mother Circle Facilitator training with Kimberly Ann Johnson & Jessica Connolly where I got to dive deep into behind the scenes of Mother Circle, & learn the why’s behind each thoughtful practice. At the end of the experience I received my Mother Circle Facilitator Certification.
