Parenting is beautiful, hilarious, joyous… and, at times, overwhelming. Especially for the deeply feeling amongst us.

So often, we are holding so much: our children’s feelings, the rhythms and demands of daily life, the weight of the world. Without enough space to process our own.

This 6-week circle exists so you don’t have to carry it alone.

A space to exhale.
To be heard and witnessed
To be part of the village making we all so deeply crave in a world not set up for what families actually need to thrive.

What this space offers

Each week we gather in circle, on the banks of the mighty Birrarung, weaving together:

Self-care listening circle
A gentle, facilitated space to share the wins, the challenges, and the messy middle. Any shares, big and small will be met with deep, non-judgemental listening, cheering you on or witnessing any unprocessed hurts.

Village-making
Rebuilding the kind of community many of us long for, where support is real, relationships deepen, and we don’t have to do this alone. We will be held, as well by the local ecology allowing our nervous systems to exhale.

Parenting tools & support
Grounded in Aware Parenting, you’ll receive practical, compassionate tools to support your child’s emotional world: through play, tears, connection, and loving limits.
