The Mothers Healing Circle (MHC) was founded in January of 2020 to help heal Lawndale Mother’s traumatic and violent loss of their children. Together, through rejuvenating workshops, storytelling, singing and yoga the Mothers have a sacred space to heal and disrupt the cycle of pain and suffering. The Mothers Healing Circle provides a safe in-person and virtual space for gathering, sisterhood, community, understanding and listening. This collective space for healing our Mothers is the first step in healing the family, community and nation.

The Mothers Healing Circle provides comfort, community and woman-centered art-based healing workshops. Through high vibration holistic art and mindful practices, MHC offers support along with emotional and physical relief to Mothers who have limited resources including: food and water security, herbal and ancestral medicine, transportation, COVID-19, school and work supplies. Some of our Mothers are recovering from devastating illness and strokes due to their loss, the MHC also provides handicap accessible spaces, personal care, Uber/transportation and online options for our community with disabilities.

The group keeps growing, sadly, as the Mothers actively reach out to other women in their neighborhood who have lost children to violence. Money raised here will be used by the Mothers to complete the quilts and the quilt flags, generate new quilts for Mothers who just joined, for art supplies, food, books, and to pay for speakers to inspire.
