Mamas Circle community agreement

Welcome to Mamas Circle. Before joining a session, we ask that you read through the values below. Our values tell you a little about how we look after each other and this space, and we usually revisit them at the start of each session.

Come as you are
There is no expectation to show up in a particular way or to have prepared what you would like to say.

Keep it confidential
To protect the privacy of everyone in the group, please be mindful of your surroundings and don't share another mum's personal story outside of the space.

Treat each other with respect
We all bring different experiences, cultures and perspectives. We ask everyone to approach one another with respect, empathy and curiosity.

Share as much or as little as feels right for you
Mamas Circle is not a therapy group, so please be mindful of your own boundaries and only share what feels comfortable. You're equally welcome to listen or use the chat.

Listen to understand, not to fix
We don't give advice or try to solve each other's problems. Instead, we listen with curiosity and share our own experiences, giving each other space to make sense of things in our own way.

Leave room for all voices to be heard
Mamas Circle belongs to the community. We ask everyone to be mindful of sharing the space so that different voices and experiences have room to be heard.

Life happens
Children wake up, deliveries arrive and distractions happen. Sometimes you might need to turn your camera off or step away mid-session. That's completely fine, you're always welcome to rejoin whenever you can.

By joining Mamas Circle, you are agreeing to hold this space with us the same way we will hold it for you.
