Women’s Circles
Women gather to connect, share and reflect on motherhood, supporting one another to reconnect with themselves and our collective wisdom.
WHY IT MATTERS
When women embark upon matrescence (the process of becoming a mother), we realise we are no longer who we were and are not sure who we are now.
Sound familiar?
DETAILS
In our Women’s Circle, the theory of matrescence gives mothers space to explore their experiences through self-reflection and sharing opportunities. We also incorporate gentle movement and meditation.
Each Circle has a distinct theme related to core areas of a woman’s life affected by matrescence.
WHAT IT INCLUDES
Places in the Circle are limited to 12 people to ensure a meaningful experience where everyone has the opportunity to be seen and held. We include meditation, gentle movement, reflection exercises and sharing opportunities.
Nourishing food and tea is included.

ACTIVISM
“The personal is political.”
It’s often after becoming a mother that it becomes obvious to women that our modern systems of governance and infrastructure were built by and for men. We need to use our voices to advocate for a new way forward to make a change.
We need a future that values mothers and mothering and dismantles patriarchal motherhood.
We want to make the political process and public policy accessible to you.
THE PARENTHOOD
The Parenthood community is working together to make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent. Because when parents are supported, children can thrive & our whole community is stronger.
BIRTH TIME
The Birth Time documentary and platform, hopes to educate, inspire and motivate young women, pregnant women and people, mothers, partners, grandparents, family, birth workers, midwives, doctors, policy makers, politicians, organisations and corporations to be the voice for change. When we improve women’s/peoples experiences around birth, we change the world.

Online Petition
The BoB Adelaide petition has gathered over 250 signatures.

PROTEST PARADE
Where it started! Held on Saturday 6 November 2021 to coincide with the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 31 October – 12 November 2021.
The protest parade was designed to be family-friendly and fun. There were no speeches. Instead, it was an hour of power as we rode, walked and pushed our way north from Tarntanyangga/Victoria Square to Pennington Gardens West.
FLASH MOB
Held on Sunday 10 April 2022, it gathered a group of like-minded parents and cyclists keen to see active travel become safer in the inner southwest through a direct, separated cycling link between Westside Bikeway along Barwell Avenue, across South Road, along Everard Avenue and then linking to Anzac Highway and the Parklands Trail.
