This circle is designed for new mothers (with babies aged 6 weeks to 18 months). Infants are welcome!
We will gather in nature to honor the journey of motherhood—as a significant transition to be marked, shared, and celebrated within community.
Topics we’ll explore together:
Building a Village and Receiving Care
Food, Rest and Warmth as Medicine
Community Skill Sharing (baby wearing, nursing, and more)
Nourishing Herbs and Medicinal Plants for Mothers
Integration and Celebration
Honoring Motherhood, Honoring You
Come root into support, share stories, and weave connections with other mothers on this path.
Ardis Ruiz is a mother, INNATE Postpartum Care Certified Practitioner, and founder of This Time, Nurtured to Thrive. Her calling grew from her own tender initiation into motherhood, where she felt the absence of the care and traditions once woven into the postpartum time. Rooted in the physiological needs of this sacred time, Ardis honors the profound transformation that unfolds after birth. Her approach embraces the natural rhythms of healing, prioritizing rest, and nurturing both mothers and families with warmth and intention. She is passionate about sharing resources and wisdom to cultivate a nourishing postpartum journey, creating a community that remembers the beauty of caring for one another. Ardis believes that when mothers are truly supported, the ripples extend outward, nurturing thriving families and enriching future generations.
