About Us
Mothers Healing Circle Inception
Sonja Henderson founded Mothers Healing Circle (MHC) in January 2020 to help Chicago Mothers heal from trauma due to the violent loss of their children. Together, through rejuvenating workshops, storytelling, legacy projects and meditative-arts, the Mothers have a sacred space to heal and disrupt cycles of pain and suffering. MHC provides a safe in-person and virtual space for gathering, sisterhood, camaraderie, rejuvenation and therapeutic modalities.
History
Mothers Healing Circle provides comfort during weekly communal woman-centered and art-based healing workshops. Focusing on women and high vibration art practices, MHC offers emotional and physical relief to Mothers who have limited resources to food and water security, herbal and ancestral medicines, self-care tools, tech and school supplies. MHC seeks to rejuvenate Mothers and rebuild their surviving families by introducing wellness practices like: Horticultural Therapy, plant-based nutrition, massage therapy, movement and yoga. Healing our Mothers is the first step in healing family, community and nation.
Services
Our artists facilitate weekly healing through:
Guided Meditations for relaxation and connection to self.
Horticultural Therapy to teach self-care through the care and connection to plants and nature.
Movement and Yoga to ground the body and release tension.
Meditative Visual Arts to connect to spirit and heal trauma by focusing the mind and body.
Song and Storytelling to raise the overall vibration.
MHC directly impacts multi-generational BIPOC Mothers and families with weekly in-person or online healing workshops, rejuvenating Self-Care packages, fresh produce box deliveries to food deserts, water purification and filtration systems, direct deposits and more.
