Elephants: Inspiration Behind Care Circles

Symbolism of Elephants You may have noticed that the Momni logo looks like an elephant. This is not by chance! Elephants are powerful and are the largest land mammals on earth. However, they are also some of the most nurturing, care-oriented mothers in the animal kingdom.

In elephant herds, the females are known to stay close to each other and help take care of one another’s young calves. Even more interestingly, when an elephant gives birth, the females form a circle around her. They provide physical support, encouragement, and protection . When predators lurk nearby, elephants will similarly circle up and pr otect any of their weaker herd members, hurt elephants, or easily targeted young calves.

Momni has found a great deal of inspiration in this idea of circling up around those in need. Circle Up! Momni promotes this circling of support . There are Momni circles all over the globe designed to provide connection, support, encouragement, and protection.

We are mothers! We are Momnis! Just like elephant herds, there are mothers all around us and throughout the world who need our support. We must circle around one another to help care for our young children.

When one mother is in need, we all circle up to help where we can! We know that being a mother can be hard, but our hope is that having access to the Momni community can help. There are mothers everywhere who would benefit from knowing that they have another mama who is willing and able to care for their children if needed. The Momni technology allows easy connection to facilitate mother to mother caresharing.

We envision a world where all mothers are linked together.
