Birth's Guiding Light
A 3 part series for women and their partners
What is birth sovereignty? Why are undisturbed births crucial to positive birth experiences? How can you create space for a birth journey that will leave you ecstatic, empowered, awakened and deeply rooted in your sense of self and purpose?
Find Birth's Guiding Light, and remember the truth women have always embodied.
This unique birth preparation course stands apart from standard birth prep courses and books whose primary focus is typically on pain relief and '"how" to give birth'.. because *women already know how to give birth* and we believe the real work in managing the intensity of birth is in taking radical responsibility for creating birth spaces that guard our hormonal flow and allow our instincts and intuition to guide us. The gritty work lies in the critical questions we pose towards what the medical system has normalized regarding women's capacities and birth itself and remaining curious and open about what is actually true for us.
This is a 3 part birth preparation series spread over 3 Sundays in May, 2022. Partners are welcome to join the first circle, and the women will continue on for the next two. We will explore the dynamicism and power of birth, focusing on birth autonomy, our deep instinctual knowing and the sacred mother-baby dyad. We will breakdown the key components necessary for a normal, physiological birth and come to understand the significance of a woman's hormonal blueprint.
Our days together will include thorough education - which is also an enormous amount of *unlearning* most of what we've been taught about women's bodies and birth. We will critically examine current common practices + procedures and learn what traditional cultures have done (with success!) for millienia. We will feed both our intellectual brains by coming to understand the phsyiological processes and stages of birth while also feeding our spirits, humor, feminine nature and sister connection.
These 3 days are meant to be a shared learning experience, with the understanding we are all Wise Women. My vision for holding the space is for each woman to harness her own power and innate trust in her body's ability to birth her baby. We feel called to include partners because we understand that there is much unlearning to do in all the bodies present at a birth. We open this space for deep unpacking and ask that we approach our own biases with curiosity.
****This course is OPEN to ANY WOMAN (pregnant or not) who is interested in birth, birth workers, midwives, doulas, body therapists and basically anyone called to support women and the betterment of the planet via protection and support of the sacred passage of mother + baby. You need not have a baby growing in your womb to participate. ****
