Mother’s Day Community Circle:
Honouring the Love, the Pain, and the Legacy
This Mother’s Day, you are invited into a gentle, sacred Red Tent space — a place where we can gather in honesty, compassion, and deep witnessing.
Together, we will explore the full tapestry of our relationships with our mothers:
~the love that shaped us,
~the pain that marked us,
~the legacy of encountering our Mothers lives on through us.
This circle welcomes it all — the gratitude, the grief, the complexity.
Whether your relationship with your mother is or was close, strained, absent, or evolving, you are welcome exactly as you are.
Through guided reflection, shared wisdom, and quiet moments of connection, we will honour our experiences and the ones we are creating.
This is a space to be held, to remember, to release, and perhaps to reimagine what “mothering” means in your life and the spiritual role of the Great Mother for humanity as a whole.
Come sit in circle. Come as you are.
All genders are welcome at Community Circles.
When: Sunday May 10th 3.00pm-6.00pm
Where: Christchurch Quaker Centre, 217 Ferry Road, Waltham.
