About

The Mama Temple

The Mama Temple is a collaborative Art Exhibition. The exhibit holds a collection of Art and Stories that express diversity in experiences of Motherhood.

Motherhood can be the most beautiful adventure and at the very same time it is the biggest challenge we may face.

The Mama Temple came in to existence as a deeply personal and broader social way to navigate unhealed wounds of birthing and Motherhood along with the sharing of others experience and perspective.

“My own journey of life with two children, raising them (and a step daughter) on my own with little to no support or room for ‘self’, left me zero opportunity to nurture the nurturer (me). During a gathering two years ago, I was in a circle of people very involved in women’s reproductive health. Some were young medical device inventors, some were nurses in labor rooms, others were midwives, and I, as the artist, happened to be in this incredible circle of humans. After this meet up I began to question and explore so much in my own life and memories, to 25 years ago when I was pregnant, and began raising my children. All that I knew and didn’t know, and how in awe I was that these people were so connected with healing and supporting women in the process of pregnancy and birth.

I began a healing journey for myself, and I craved to find a way to share with a community of others who may be going through feelings around their experiences as a Mother. Exploring this through creativity is at the heart of The Mama Temple.” Jennifer Randall
