Birth is a sacred Act…

An experience that has far-reaching consequences and effects on the newborn, the Mother and the whole family.

Birth is a rite of passage, and by its very nature, it provides the way in for a woman to know her inner strength and inner knowing vital ingredients for mothering.

Mothers are gifted through birth not only with their beautiful babies but with a new look at their Divine selves.

Birth teaches us where we’re at with the fundamentals of life, such as surrender, letting go and trust.

The best preparation for birth is a conscious pregnancy, spending time contemplating and updating your inner beliefs and attitudes, and connecting with your baby inside you, hearing the voices feeling the feelings, seeing the visions, all the while developing your natural mothering essence.

Women travel new territory with each pregnancy, learning from their previous pregnancies and births and about themselves as Mothers. Birth is a rite of passage each time as we become the perfect Mother for our growing family. We shall sit on cushions in a circle, pregnant women, mothers and midwives. We shall use ritual, voice and art to complement information sharing that will help us understand why we think and act the way we do. We will look deeply at the sexuality and spirituality of pregnancy, birth and mothering.

• We will learn meditation, tools for labour and beautiful rituals to perform to honour pregnancy, birth and mothering.
• We shall explore the inner journey of pregnancy and come to know ourselves more fully through this process, preparing for our potential birth and mothering from our most in-tune and empowered centre.
• We will invoke the ancient Goddesses our Foremothers did for their guidance, nurturance, protection and support.
• We will do what women have been doing together longer than we haven’t – sit together in support of each other sharing our innate wisdom focussing on the beauty and strength of Mother.

Together over three days at a beautiful retreat centre in Yass we will weave our sacred circle, going deeper and deeper each day, the circle way.
Each morning we will invoke the ancient Goddesses our Foremothers did for their guidance, nurturance, protection and support, and have a check-in with a ‘talking circle’ working with the lunar phase and earth season to understand their influence and impact.

During our time together we will explore the inner journey of pregnancy and come to know ourselves more fully through this process, preparing for birth and mothering or our work as birth keeper, from our most in-tune and empowered centre.
We will focus on our previous rites of passage to uncover patterns and our default behaviours to begin to change any unconscious trajectories and do our healing.

We will work with our red thread, the generational trauma we have inherited, and the female collective pain body and the medical fear-based mindset around pregnancy and birth in our culture.
We will do a process to acknowledge our fears and a fire ritual to let go of them.

We will practice meditation, and learn tools for labour and beautiful rituals to perform to honour pregnancy, birth and mothering.
We will use craft and shamanic drum journeying to meet the baby or our inner goddess, and together talk about the sexuality of pregnancy birth and mothering and the spiritual path of this time in our lives.

We will have a guest belly dance teacher Samina Amar – From Ghawazee Moon Bellydance as part of our program together and KaHuna massages from Deb Namara are available after circle over the two days.

We will do what women have been doing together longer than we haven’t – sitting together in support of each other sharing our innate wisdom focussing on the beauty and strength of Mother.
