As Sister Morningstar writes: "The mothers come from near and far. They have a variety of birth plans and care providers. We are there to shower them with village attention and support and to bathe them in a sense of belonging and being cherished. The one inspiration and encouragement we echo over and over in our stories, on our walks, in our drumming and deliciously in our feasting is this: Trust your Instincts. Follow what makes sense to you. Do it your way. Take your time. Find a place of peace to make decisions. Speak your Truth. Find your Truth. Your body has all the right answers. No one has your knowing. Build your instincts. Trust your instincts."
As a special treat at this month's village circle, doula and yoga teacher extraordinaire Sara Zia will lead a class for kiddos and their parents! If the weather is nice we'll be in her gorgeous sunny backyard.
