Mother Circle — The Adventures of Motherhood · with 1:1 accompaniment · Autumn 2026
The full Mother Circle — together with 1:1 accompaniment from me across the whole cohort.
Based on the curriculum created by Kimberly Ann Johnson.
What you are signing up for
- 8 live circles with Lisa Rombach-Duarte — 75 minutes each
- 3 bonus sessions on mothering, based on the KidSoma Method by Alé Duarte — 90 minutes each
- 3 recorded classes, waiting for you the moment you sign up
- Recordings of every session, for one year
- Access to the "Tending the Embers" live calls and recordings, for one year
- Two private sessions with me, 75 minutes each — one near the beginning, one towards the end
- Written check-ins via Telegram between classes
We begin on Monday, 5 October 2026, 18:00 Vienna time.
The accompaniment
Private sessions at the beginning and towards the end of the circle.
In between, written check-ins via Telegram for everything that surfaces between classes and wants to be seen.
The circle holds what is shared. The accompaniment is for what is yours alone: something that surfaces and asks for more room, something you would rather not say in a group, something you want to follow further.
We arrange the dates for your private sessions individually after you sign up.
Who the circle is for
Mothers at every stage: mothers-to-be, mothers who have lost a child, adoptive mothers, foster mothers, mothers of small children, of teenagers, of adult children, and grandmothers.
My circles hold several generations at once, and that is deliberate. A woman with a six-week-old and a woman whose daughter is forty are not having different conversations. They are having the same one, from different places in it.
The person the circle is for is the woman inside the mother. This is not parenting education, and nobody here will tell you how to do it correctly.
How it works
We meet on Mondays, 18:00–19:15 Vienna time, live on Zoom.
Alongside the eight core circles there are three live bonus sessions of 90 minutes on mothering, based on the KidSoma Method by Alé Duarte and turned toward the mother rather than the child. The dates are below.

What to expect
- Live sessions. Everything happens live on Zoom.
- Coming regularly. Please only sign up if you can be there live for at least four of the eight circles. The group forms out of who is actually in the room.
- Recordings. If you cannot make a session, it is recorded. Access for one year.
- Your own space. A quiet corner, if you can find one. Your children are welcome whenever that is what makes it possible.
- Confidentiality. What is said in the circle stays in the circle. What you bring to our private sessions stays between us.

About me
My name is Lisa Rombach-Duarte, and I am the founder of Circle of Nurture Vienna – Center for Embodied Relational Presence. Since 2008 I have accompanied people through somatic processes of development and integration. Since 2024, several times a year, I have walked through the Mother Circle curriculum of my esteemed teacher Kimberly Ann Johnson together with other mothers.
Alongside my work as a facilitator, I perform internationally as a concert singer. Since 2020 I have accompanied the international KidSoma training programmes of my husband Alé Duarte, together with a wonderful interdisciplinary team.
Together with our two children, we live between Vienna and Cascais.
People come to work with me to develop a deeper relationship with their bodies — and to discover how to play the melody of their own lives through this intelligent, living instrument.
