Spartanburg Women’s Gatherings

There is something powerful that happens when women gather.

In a world where so many mothers feel isolated, rushed, or unsure where they fit, we open a space to slow down, sit together, and remember that we were never meant to do this alone. Our gatherings are a place to exhale. A place to arrive exactly as you are, whether you come carrying questions, babies, stories, exhaustion, hope, or simply a desire to be near women who understand.

Each month, we meet to share life in an honest and meaningful way. We talk about birthing in freedom, mothering consciously, nourishing our families, and walking in greater alignment with our values. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, often we pass babies around, refill tea, and realize that the very thing we have been longing for is already forming among us: community.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to come. You don’t need to be experienced in home birth, attachment parenting, or holistic living. You only need a willing heart and the courage to step into the circle.

We would be honored to have you with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

We gather in Spartanburg County, SC. Each month we decide on a location, and women who are interested can message us directly for the address. For those who have attended before, we also share the location in our Instagram group message (you can ask to be added there anytime after gathering with us once).

The first Friday of every month at 9:30am.

All women and mothers in every stage of motherhood are welcome, whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, mothering older children, trying to conceive, or walking alongside women as a birth worker.

We are a community of like-minded women rooted in birthing in freedom and mothering consciously. Together, we explore topics such as home birth, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, gentle parenting, holistic health, and what it means to mother with intention.

Yes! We love having children with us. Since we don’t meet at playgrounds, please bring something to help entertain them. Your attention may still be divided (we understand, that’s motherhood), but please come anyway. This is your space to be supported and have your cup filled. We embrace attachment parenting and know that sometimes our children only feel safe close to us. That is normal and welcomed here. Because little ones are part of our circle, gatherings can be lively and a bit noisy, but we find beauty in our children watching women gather in community.

You don’t need to bring a thing! If you’d like, you’re invited to bring something nourishing to share, such as baked goods, fruit, tea, bread, or simple finger foods.

Women of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. We intentionally create a neutral space that feels safe for every belief system. While we sometimes explore spiritual topics, everyone is welcome to share from their own perspective and beliefs.

Absolutely. This is a safe and honoring space for all women who choose to birth at home, whether assisted or unassisted. Some of our attendees, including one of our hosts, have chosen intentional unassisted birth.

We usually gather for about 2-3 hours. Some women stay longer, and others leave when they need to. Come for whatever time you can.

  • Women settle in and enjoy food or tea.
  • If there are new faces, we introduce ourselves.
  • We open with a short grounding exercise.
  • The space is then open for women to share what’s on their hearts: birth stories, parenting experiences, struggles, growth, questions, or reflections. Sometimes we have a theme and share according to the topic. Sometimes we have local guests who come prepared with aligned education.
  • We close with singing together.
  • Afterward, women are free to linger, connect, and continue conversations.

No, gatherings are free. They are offered as a gift of community.

Yes, we meet every month, regardless of season. We meet outdoors when the weather is nice or indoors.

Yes, please message us on Instagram (@spartanburgwomensgatherings) if you plan to come so we can share the location with you. Once you’ve attended, you can ask to be added to our Instagram group message, where we post the address each month.

“The medicine so many mothers are looking for is often found in a circle of women.”

We were never meant to mother alone.
