$0.00 Beloved Mothers Circle
Join us for a free monthly Mothers Circle, a welcoming space to connect, share, and grow in community. Together with the Beloved Yoga sangha and LeShanta as our Circle Keeper, we hold space for reflection and shared growth. Each month, a unique theme or guest facilitator is offered to support your maternal journey, from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond. See the schedule below
We’ll meet on the second Sunday of each month at 11:00 AM.
Babies and little ones are welcome. Each gathering will include light movement, a relaxed “sip and chat,” and plenty of space for sharing stories, laughter, and support.
Come as you are, stay for connection, and leave feeling nourished in both body and spirit.
Jaely Turner is our speaker on December 14th and the discussion will be Birth Story Medicine - Exploring the power of sharing, healing, and integrating our birth stories, whether preparing for birth or reflecting on past experiences.
Jaely Turner is the founder of Our Village Circle Birth Services in Northern Virginia, where she serves as a Full-Spectrum Doula, Birth Mentor, and Childbirth Educator. A mother of two, Jaely’s own birth and postpartum experiences shaped her calling to support families through one of life’s most powerful transitions.
When her first birth left her physically well but emotionally shaken, she discovered how deeply birth stories impact our sense of self. This led her to train in Birth Story Medicine, a process that helps parents reflect, heal, and reclaim their experiences.Through her work, Jaely ensures birthing people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
