A Return to Ancestral Traditions
Returning to our ancestral traditions invites us to experience ourselves in connection with our lineages, ancestors, communities, families and relationships with all life.
This return, remembrance, and reclamation of our ancestral traditions offers a remedy for the real epidemic of our times, debilitating loneliness, separation and isolation
We are all longing for belonging. As we return to ancestral traditions we remember we are not orphans or tribeless but inextricably connected to one another in a beautiful living ecosystem that sustains us through shared stories, songs, remedies, rituals, remedies and mutual care for one another.
Mothering is communal
Becoming a mother is a profound reckoning for most women. At no other time do we experience such a powerful transformation of identity, sense of self and shift in roles within our relationships, families and communities.
This transformation of becoming a mother, or the ‘Birth of a Mama’ is both physical, spiritual, functional and emotional. As such, our physical, spiritual, functional and emotional needs change dramatically, especially during the first 40 days after giving birth but also throughout the first postpartum year. One of the most significant external changes is the realization that although it is expected in modern society for adults to achieve a state of independence, autonomy and self sufficiency these values are not only impossible but damaging in early motherhood. As a new mama mothers her baby it is imperative that she is mothered by her community.
Mothering the new mama is not just a cute expression but the foundation for creating and sustaining wellbeing for a new mama that will ripple out to enhanced wellbeing for her baby and family. As we know so many new mamas have tried tribal mothering with their newborns without the support of a tribe. Meaning that intentions to baby wear, co-sleep, breastfeed and be attuned to the baby all the time will result in depletion, frustration, exhaustion and distress if the new mama is not also being nurtured, nourished and cared for. For these reasons we recognize Mothering as Communal and move from a self care framework to a collective care framework.

Ceremony Creates Community
One of the most significant challenges of early motherhood is the loneliness and isolation experienced by so many new mamas. Post partum depression and anxiety have exponentially increased as our society has become more individualistic with decreasing social support and fewer close relationships.
The Hidden Struggles of Early Motherhood
The experience of emotional distress, common to so many new mothers, is reflective of society’s structural failures not reflective of individual mothers being ill equipped or incapable of mothering. Meaning that the distress is largely a result of external systems not internal feelings.
Strengthening Communities Through Revolutionary Relationships
Relationships are the real revolution and although early motherhood is not the time most women go to the frontlines protesting for social change, there is a way to increase personal wellbeing while also fortifying the health of our communities through creating and maintaining strong relationships.
Building Community Through Sacred Ceremony
One way to create communities during pregnancy and early motherhood is through ceremony. In ceremony we invoke the sacred and participate together in affirming what we most value and love. There are many ceremonies that a new mama can attend, create, participate and be witnessed in.
Some of these ceremonies take place before the birth,
other ceremonies like Baby Naming, Placenta, Closing the Bones, Womb massage, Birth Story, Womb Steaming,
and more take place right after the birth or at the
completion of the first 40 days post partum.
Throughout the first year of motherhood, attending weekly and monthly women’s gatherings are a way to remain active in relationship with other women.
