What if parenting didn't have to feel so isolating?
Welcome to The Wonder Circle – a parents' book club, but also so much more. We gather around shared texts and weave wisdom into our lives through conversation, play, and simple practices that bring learning from theory into the body, into the heart, and into the home.
This isn't about reading more books. It's about reimagining how we grow, connect, and remember wonder together.
This Circle is for You If...
- You know deep down: we were never meant to parent in isolation
- You're endlessly curious about life and believe growth can be joyful
- You're willing to step outside your comfort zone to expand as a parent and as a human
- You want to protect your child's natural sense of wonder and reclaim your own
What to Expect
Intimate Virtual Gatherings
Our live discussions are intentionally small and intimate. We believe real connection happens in smaller circles where every voice can be heard and valued.
Embodied Practices
Simple, gentle invitations that help you feel the teachings in your body and bring them into your home. We move beyond intellectual discussion to create lasting change.
Heart-Centered Conversations
Honest, supportive discussions with a circle of curious, like-hearted parents who are committed to growing together.
Why We Gather
Because learning together nourishes more than the mind.
Because our children thrive when they see us lit up by curiosity.
Because parenting is an extreme sport and we need each other.
Our First Book: Hunt, Gather, Parent
We're opening our circle with a book that feels like a homecoming: Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff.
Why this book? Because it reminds us that parenting was never meant to be a solo act. Around the world, families raise children with more ease, joy, and connection. Not through perfection, but through community, play, and trust.
Together, we'll explore:
- Generational wisdom that still works today
- What it looks like to parent with less stress and more wonder
- Simple shifts that bring cooperation, connection, and peace into our homes
- Gentle, playful invitations that help us feel the teachings in our bodies and homes
Our Approach
The Wonder Circle is about more than just reading. We weave ideas into practice through:
- Community Learning: Growing together rather than in isolation
- Embodied Wisdom: Moving beyond theory to lived experience
- Playful Integration: Making learning joyful and sustainable
- Generous Support: Creating space for each person's unique journey
