Mothers’ Mental Health Circle: Exploring Art Through Movement
Mamas deserve care, too. 🌙 Join us for our first Mothers’ Mental Health Circle, a nourishing 90-minute workshop co-hosted by My Good Brain and Back To You.
Led by Keila Sachi Gaballo (they/she) of Back To You, alongside Dr. Danessa Mayo of My Good Brain, this circle invites all women and femmes who identify with the role of “mother” within their family.
Together, we’ll explore the richness of our emotions through:
✨ Mindfulness + breathwork
✨ Journaling + guided prompts
✨ Mixed media collage to express feelings
✨ Gentle, accessible yoga to reconnect with the body
This is a no experience necessary event. All art and journaling supplies will be provided. Each participant will take home a goodie bag with:
A new journal
Vinyl stickers
A Feelings Wheel print by Keila
Their completed artwork
Please bring:
✔️ A yoga mat or large towel
✔️ Comfortable clothes for movement
✔️ A water bottle
This workshop offers mothers a supportive space to pause, breathe, and tend to mental health through creativity, movement, and community connection.
