Welcome to The River

A flowing, living, growing community

This is a community for mothers and those who center them, care for them, hold,  and support the mother-baby dyad.

Together, mothers, maidens, aunties, wise women, elders, grandmothers, children, doulas, midwives, lactation consultants and healers come to ‘The River’–a place for our stories, prayers, and deep conversation that brings us back into our feminine flow and power.

Who will we be when we reach the sea?

We are being called to come together, both mothers and those who understand the importance of centering them. It is time for us to remember what it feels like to live guided by the wisdom of the earth, her seasons, the plants, and our intuition. 

Just as a river navigates the change in flow, floods, depth and with the seasons of our inner and outer worlds. Our presence is precious and it is being stolen by large companies to profit from. The pace our current culture is moving is unsustainable for thriving life and is leaving us exhausted and disconnected from our natural rhythms and things that bring life purpose. 

Let's slow down together and give reverence to thinking in deep time instead of quick fixes and short-term timescapes.

What We’ll Co-Create Together

We will meet three times per month online. For those of you that are local to the Santa Barbara area, we will have occasional in-person gatherings. Access to online recordings will be available.
