The Mothersphere
Welcome to the Mothersphere. We support mothers in a skillful and compassionate space to use the journey of motherhood as a catalyst for personal healing and as an opportunity for cultivating mindful awareness and self-realization.
Finding deeper ground ~ together
Maya Oppenlander and Laura Shaw, mothers from opposite sides of the world (Portugal and Canada), were drawn to meet and explore how the tools of mindfulness, self inquiry, the enneagram and simply being held in the presence of compassionate and aware witnessing could support their journeys as mothers.
These meetings have been healing, powerful and potent in shifting our experience of ourselves and of our experience as mothers. So we decided to open up these meetings and create this course and community as an offering to other mothers who might be struggling to find depth, joy and peace in their journey of parenting.
So often parenting brings us to our edges; it invites us to grow in ways we may resist at the time. In starting to see that each one of these situations actually is a clear signal to bring skillful attention to ourselves, we can re-frame these edges so transformative healing and a deepening of consciousness can take place. This is how we can nurture resilience, joy and authenticity in ourselves and in our children.
Both in the pre-recorded, self-paced online course and in our live meetings, Maya and Laura will be offering a space of compassionate presence where your unique challenges can be explored, and together we will support you with tools and skills to mindfully attend to them.
We are both passionate about raising children that are connected to their authenticity, their creativity and their joy and we love to offer our stories and insight on how we might approach specific circumstances that you may be encountering.
