Sunday May 24th 6-9pm

This month’s cacao circle will invite you to slow down and reflect on an intentional part of yourself you feel called to nourish and understand deeper over the coming months.

Together, we’ll create personal healing bundles, small pouches filled with meaningful items and symbolic pieces chosen to represent the part of yourself or your life asking for deeper care and healing this season.

This evening is an invitation to soften, reconnect, and honour the quiet growth happening within you.

This gathering will include:

A Cup of Cacao

Healing Bundle Creation

Sound Journey

Seasonal Snacks

& More

Meet your facilitators of The Mama Nest Part 2

Meet Stacey Barclay, a mama, counsellor, tea lover, and the heart behind .

Stacey is the kind of person who is often found with a warm drink in hand, wandering slowly through the forest admiring the moss, or getting completely lost in the pages of a good book. She loves creating a little chaos in the kitchen crafting nourishing meals, believes dancing is an underrated cure for almost anything, and feels most like herself when exploring the world or taking naps in the grass with her daughter.

Her work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor is rooted in relationships, the ones we share with others, and the one we hold within ourselves. She brings a deeply relational, trauma-informed, and attachment-based lens into everything she offers, while gently weaving in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and a touch of the spiritual.

As a mother, Stacey knows how much of you is met in this season, the love, the stretching, the parts that feel full, and the parts that still need tending, too.

Through The Mama Nest, she offers a space for reflection, emotional support, and honest, human moments, all within the safety of community.

Her intention is simple: to create a space where you don’t have to have it all together. Where your baby is welcome exactly as they are, and where you can land, just as you are.

Stacey is so excited to co-create this offering at .studio alongside

Think a grounding blend of therapeutic reflection, connection, and nervous system support for mamas, with babies welcome in every moment.

No one really prepares you for how much of yourself you meet in motherhood.

The parts that feel strong
The parts that feel stretched thin
The parts that still need holding, too

The Mama Nest is a space for all of it.

Co-hosted with my dearest friend and yoga instructor Sky, this series blends gentle movement, breath work, and meaningful therapeutic reflection to support you in this season of motherhood.

Each week you can move your body gently, breathe a little deeper, and sit in a room with other women who get it, while your baby rests, feeds, cries, or plays beside you.

No pressure to have it together
No expectation for your baby to be quiet
Just a space to land

 
This is for you if you’re craving:
Reconnection with your body after birth
Nervous system support
Honest, supportive conversations
Community with other mothers

 
Wednesdays | 11:00–12:30
Dates: May 13, 20, 27 & June 3
$160 for the series
Eligible for extended health coverage under RCC

No one really talks about how much of yourself you meet in motherhood

The parts you love
The parts you’ve outgrown
The parts you didn’t know were still tender

It’s not just walking along side a tiny human
It’s meeting yourself again and again

A season of fire, desire, and becoming.

Something is waking up within you.

Beltane is a threshold, between what has been and what is becoming.

A time to reconnect with your body, your desires,
and the quiet knowing of what you’re ready for next.

If something in you has been stirring lately, 
this circle is a space to listen to it

Together we’ll explore:
• What’s ready to awaken
• Where you’ve been holding back
• What it might look like to let yourself want more

Cacao has been part of my life for many years now.

Sometimes it’s simply a quiet morning cup.
Sometimes it’s something I cook or bake with.
And sometimes it’s something I share in circle.

Over the past several years I’ve also had the opportunity to travel to cacao-growing regions in places like Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico, learning more about the plant itself, the growing and harvesting process, and the people who cultivate it.

The more I’ve learned, the more my relationship with cacao has deepened.

It’s easy to think of cacao only as chocolate, but this plant has a long history that stretches across culture, community, and everyday life.

Have you ever tried cacao as a drink before?

Motherhood changes everything.

Your rhythms shift.
�Your time becomes filled with caring for another little human.

No pressure for babies to be quiet.
�No expectations.
�Just a warm space for mothers to breathe, reflect, and connect with others walking a similar path.

✨ Last Friday of every month�
✨ Starting March 27�
✨ 11–1pm�
✨ Spirit Rising Studio – Maple Ridge�

Bring a yoga mat, cozy blanket, and a mug for cacao.

Motherhood has broken me open in the most glorious ways

It has taught me to pause and then pause again

To soften into moments I once would have rushed past.

It has shown me that you can grieve a moment while you are still living inside of it. A quiet knowing that something sacred is already changing.

That this version of life, of yourself, of your baby
will never exist in quite the same way again.

Motherhood has also taught me that the self is not something we arrive at once and keep.
It moves.
It stretches.
It dissolves and changes.

That awe and exhaustion, love and longing, gratitude and loss
can all be inside a single moment.

And perhaps most profoundly this journey has shown me how few spaces exist where mothers can remain centered in their own lives.

Spaces where the woman is not lost inside the role.
Spaces where she can tend to her inner world while nurturing the life beside her.
Spaces where the quiet grief and the quiet celebrations of motherhood
can be honoured together.

So with a full and hopeful heart I am beginning to create more of these spaces.

Circles for mamas growing babies and mamas with babies in tow.

Spaces to pause.
To breathe.
To remember yourself.
To gather with other women walking this same sacred, disorienting, beautiful threshold of becoming.
