Why Motherland?
- If you don’t have access to a mothers group or you want to form deeper connections with other rural mums who just ‘get it’, then Motherland Village is for you!
- Be matched with a small group of mums who you can build trust and connection with privately, and without judgement.
- Communicate from the comfort of your home, how you want, when you want.
- Minimum time commitment for busy mums. Just 3 x evening Zoom sessions, the rest is managed on the go!
- This is not your typical mother’s group. Motherland Village aims to reduce the isolation felt by rural mums with kids of ALL ages, not just those with babies.
Isn’t it about time you did something for YOU!?
But if you still need convincing to join, or you just want to chat more about the details of the program, please email hello@motherlandaustralia.com.au and request a follow up call with Steph who will happily chew your ear off!
What Motherland Village members say
“Expectations were blown out of the water!”
Steph has created a village for us, one that was missing completely. It has blown my expectations out of the water with how incredible our “village” is. I feel like I know them all, and I have never seen/met them in person – now that is special.

“I can’t believe how quickly friendships have formed ”
What an incredible program! Living remotely I missed out on an allocated mother’s group, but this one has certainly made up for it. The friendships and connections formed in 6 weeks is amazing! I love my group and it’s so great to have a group of ladies that understand and can relate to life on the land. Steph was wonderful at guiding us through the 6 weeks. Everyone needs a Motherland Village!

“An unexpected gift from this program has been the personal growth I’ve experienced”
I’m so proud of myself for engaging in Motherland Village. I was nervous to do ‘blind dating’ for friends but an unexpected gift from this program has been the personal growth I’ve experienced with the gentle guidance from Steph each week to be authentic, vulnerable and open to putting ourselves out there. I’ve absolutely loved getting to know my group of women and know we’ll continue to bubble away as growing friends for years to come.

“Motherland Village is a godsend for us all!”
Our local area doesn’t have a mothers group, so I feel like I missed out on a lot of support. I participated in the trial for Motherland Village hoping to form some new friendships. While it isn’t possible to catch up face to face, I wasn’t sure how it would all work but after our first Zoom meeting, and a few messages back and forth, I knew I would form friendships with these amazing ladies.

“It’s had a positive impact on my mental health ”
Being part of Motherland Village has been wonderful. There are many great things about raising children on the land but the social isolation can be hard, especially during the pandemic. Being able to chat to other rural mums who understand what it is like has made me feel more connected, supported and has had a positive impact on my mental health.

“I now realise I’m not alone in this ”
Motherland village has helped me connect more deeply with other mums with similar challenges and experiences. Being isolated from friends and family and mums with similar lifestyles, it’s helped me realise I’m not alone in the tough days.
Grace
“I’m extremely grateful”
Motherland Village has helped me extensively grow out of my shell, and helped me better understand motherhood as a young mum. I’m extremely grateful to have been part of the first group and I want to continue to grow with the girls I have been paired with.
Amber
“Do yourself a favour and register your interest”
Being involved in the first Motherland Village mother’s group has been a breathe of fresh air and I have really enjoyed talking with other rural mums. If you’re an expectant mum or even someone who already has children that wants to be connected to other likeminded people, do yourself a favour and register your interest.
