Sacred Portals Pregnancy Circle

Honouring the sacred in-between of pregnancy - a somatic, heart-led circle for grounding, creative expression, and embodied trust.

An intimate, 6-week closed circle for those journeying through pregnancy. Together, we listen to the wisdom of the womb and explore the sacred threshold of creation through birth-art and sharing circles. We listen, we soften, we share. Facilitated by Jasmine, a Conscious Birthing Mentee, this gathering invites presence, connection, and trust in the innate intelligence of body during this sacred initiation.

About each circle:

Every session is held in ritual and prayer. We open the circle, welcome the elements, honour the people in the room and give our prayers to the Divine. We then move into a space of free somatic embodiment. With music and invitations to explore how your body wants to move and express, this time is for you to go entirely inward. Connecting with your changing body, growing baby and perhaps restless mind. As the movement comes to an end the circle will move towards creative expression. Each week we will be exploring a different theme of pregnancy, birth and postpartum as we draw closer to the winter solstice. We will use creative tools such as painting, drawing, collaging, or moulding clay to explore the themes below. Together we draw from the cauldron of the collective and birth art that shows us hidden parts of ourselves, expanding our self-compassion, softening our hearts and strengthening wisdom of the womb. Sharing the creations with the circle, often allows hidden elements of the psyche and unspoken fears or dreams to be witnessed and celebrated.

The Journey:

Circle one: the starting seed - connecting to the self as you are in this moment
Circle two: germination - connecting to the landscape of your womb
Circle three: the seedling - connecting to your babies view of your womb
Circle four: growth - connecting to your fears and your wildest dreams
Circle five: flowering - connecting to the journey of birth
Circle six: fruiting - connecting to the expansion, softening and ultimate rite of passage of Motherhood

If you are craving a devotional time to connect with your pregnancy, your baby, your womb and your experience - this circle is for you.
