The Mother’s Fire is a nature-based gathering for mothers and children of all ages, where we gather together beneath open sky and around the fire, cultivating relationships with each other and the natural world. We come together to sing, to share, to connect with other mothers and women, and to offer our children a sense of belonging and safety in community. Each week we learn about plant and seasonal wisdom, make locally foraged herbal teas and cook our foraged delights on the open fire. So we build knowledge, skill, and a remembrance of our natural rhythmic and cyclical ways with a consistent nature connection practice. We create natural crafts, play games and have lots of fun, laughter and play together!The Mother’s Fire sessions at elfwoods
Who are we?
Ayla Willow has been running nature based circles for women and children since 2019; combining many passions and gifts in spaceholding, nature connection, singing and creating connection through community. She has past experience working in the field of education and the NHS, before leaving the institutional world to become a 1:1 coach and pursuing a calling to depth work and earth-based/shamanic practices. She later developed an interest in community building, and has set up a range of community spaces, including these women and children gatherings, womens’ circles and conscious dance community. She has trained as a Mother’s Fire leader with The Village, a Belonging. She is also a conscious/ecstatic dance facilitator (in the modality of Middle Earth Medicine Ways), a singer and a voice facilitator.
