What can you expect?

Every women’s circle is different, but each one offers a warm, safe space where you don’t have to prove anything. We begin gently with a cup of tea and take time to settle in. Then we explore the evening’s theme together. There may be space for meditation, a ritual, a creative exercise, reflection or a deeper conversation.

You’re welcome to share, listen, laugh, sit quietly or simply be present. Nothing is expected of you.

How the evening unfolds

01 Arriving
Settling in with a cup of tea.

02 Connecting
Getting to know one another and making room for what’s present.

03 Exploring
Exploring the theme together through conversation, reflection, meditation or a creative exercise.

04 Closing
Bringing the evening to a close and heading home gently.

Is a women’s circle for me?

You’re welcome if you’re longing for calm, genuine connection and a little time for yourself.

You don’t need any experience with meditation, rituals or women’s circles. You don’t have to be a confident speaker, and you’ll never be asked to share anything personal. If you’d rather listen at first, you belong here too.

The circles welcome women at different stages of life. You don’t need to be a mother or know anyone already. Just come as you are.

Who guides the women’s circles?

I’m Lindsay, founder of Mothers & Moon and a doula.

I create these circles because I believe in the power of genuine connection. They offer a place to step away from the rush of everyday life, where silence is as welcome as words and nothing is expected of you.

I provide warm, clear guidance and a safe atmosphere throughout the evening. You always decide what you’d like to share and take part in.
