I love and appreciate this woman beyond words.
padron the space holder & visionary behind the mentorship collective 💛

(And so much more)

Quite often, in order to find our way, we must find our mentors, and then let them all the way in.

I’ve been walking with Sasha watching me, listening, probing, and resourcing me back into my deepest self & connection with source for 7 years now.

I feel so clear that the reason I was called to move to Toronto is to meet her, and all the amazing women in our community, toward the fulfillment of all our my most profound yearnings and intentions.

For as she has taught me, with her freaking incredible meditations, and embodied way of trusting the beyond, “What if all of life was organizing itself all around you, in service of you and your callings.”

What if indeed 😏

Feeling that, love you Sasha.

The revolution must be inwards

I’m supposed to write about the upcoming Full Moon in Leo, but I’d be remiss not to mention Pluto’s recent move into Aquarius as well. It’s mere game-changing, era-defining astrology...

The number of women who freebirth is growing. The stories in this book, contributed by women who have freebirthed across the UK, help to explain why. These women describe how they came to be thinking about freebirth, how they prepared for it, and how their births unfolded. For some it was part of a....

Dear mothers,

Whatever your birth experience was, I’d love to hear about it.

There is healing and power for you to access in your story, no matter what it is.

I’m currently offering birth story listening sessions as I emerge from my own, first, postpartum— having freebirthed my son at home in our condo bathtub.

I’ve worked in the field of birth for the last six years, attending births, walking with women prenatally, and offering deep in-person care & ceremony postpartum.

I’ve learned a lot about what’s going on.

And I trust YOU.

I trust your knowing.

I trust your body.

I know that deep within, it’s there.

You know the truth of what is real about your life, your birth, your baby, the lies you tell yourself— you know it all.

And you have the answers.

You know what you are being called into.

You know your path.

You are walking it.

I am honoured to be a witness, and catch your story as you tenderly explore all that it has to offer you.

I get it.

I’m here for it.

It breaks my heart to know that so many women are learning through birth trauma right now, but so it is.

Let us honour your unique experience by finding your healing, your wholeness, and your power within it.

PWYC

Meaning, all donations accepted, and it’s free.

DM to talk more ❤️‍🔥

Women of Earth is a call to remember our true elemental nature.

The plants & animals we eat make soil bacteria bowel colonies, inner fire of life heat generating, wind expansion of breath bringing movement in the bones, blood. The immortal waters in each cell.

We are not only of this environment, we are made up of it, literally.

We ARE the earth.

We are all the elements.

Living in a sky box in the big city, the irony of my personal relationship with this call is not lost on me.

I live 10 floors above ground, with unknown depths of pipes and parking lots beneath.

Even coming here, down by the big water, surrounded by trees planted in honour of King George, I am aware.

These lands are not native, but man made, hauled here to extend the port.

Trees planted all in a row fated to die young 200 years later, never a forest.

I’d be shocked if any of these trees naturally propagated any young.

And— they offer me and my baby so much.

Water kissed wind rustling leaves, sun peeking through the crowns, squirrel homes to dogs’ delight, a woodpecker, I could go on.

We’ve been regulating with this man placed token of the great mother all summer long.

As the leaves begin to fall I am reflecting on my true concordance with this mostly silver birch and mowed grass park.

Me too I arrived into this world in a semi man made way, an emergency c-section in hospital, because I had flipped frank breech.

And so I see, as I track the wacky natural growth patterns of these trees, and their wounds for limbs grown “out of line—“

That I too inevitably return to what is wild within me; I can live from that place, even here.

I’m going to try and get out and be out as much as possible even as the cold encroaches.

If you’re into that please send me a message so we can go for a walk in the semi tamed city nature together.

It’s not about no trauma.

Show me a human being not carrying trauma… and I’ll show you an apple.

Even babies born in the gentlest of fashions are marked in mysterious ways.

Remember, the trauma is not the event itself, it is the imprint that we carry in the body.

The physiologic electric spiritual body of water, flesh, bones, live soil beings and aura.

Trauma itself is not “bad” we could even say—

Though it does suck—

It is a fact of life.

It is not “good” either, but rather IS.

And, so is resilience.

So is release.

So is feeling the pain and letting go of the markings.

Admitting to the attachments that led us there, by no fault of our own.

We can dissolve scar tissue with conscious attention and surrender.

We can source love within ourselves, the earth, elements.

The field of guidance is open to all.

It is not about avoiding trauma.

Getting rid of it, and putting a perfect bow on our life.

And, know, we do not have to carry it forever.

When we stop judging ourselves for having been marked by pain, in our lifetime and ones past gone, we can begin to heal it— bring it into the field of wholeness.

Realize we carry imprints, yes, but need not carry the charge.

Need not live by our charges’ projections.

This is what is meant by alchemy.

This is what is meant by dancing around a fire yelping pure delight, or true rageful feeling.

By wailing over the bodies of our passed on.

And holding our hands to skin, fascia, muscle & bone— touch and prayer moving the fluids.

This is what we need.

We all have traumas bonded in our bodies, and we all have access to heal them right there, right now, every day.

One breath at a time.

What have you learned from trauma?

“Nature isn’t trustworthy, completely.

It’ll sometimes let you down, with a wallop.

But that’s the risk you take! That’s the risk of life.

What’s the alternative?

‘I do not trust nature at all… it’s gotta be watched.’

You know what that leads to?

It leads to 1984 and Big Brother.

It leads to the totalitarian state, where everybody is his brother’s policeman. {midwife, sister, neighbour}

And where everybody is watching everybody else to report them to the authorities.

Where you can’t trust your own motivation.

Where you have to have a psychoanalyst in charge of you all the time to make sure that you don’t think dangerous thoughts, or peculiar thoughts.

And you report all peculiar thoughts to your analyst.

And your analyst keeps a record of them and reports them to the government.

And everybody is busy keeping records of everything.

It’s much more important to record what happens than what happens.

This is already eating us up….”

- Alan Watts, 1965
From ‘Man and Nature’

We can see how this tendency proliferated today.

“If you see something, say something” ringing into our ears on the Toronto subway system.

The fear way of life, of not surrendering to nature— and it’s natural limits— leads to a litigious, tense society where the report about the birth carries more weight than how the woman & baby actually feel.

Their lived experience.

How they are actually doing.

Where the work of taking charge and guarding against bad, unlikely unknowns has become an abusive practice in and of itself.

So that what is ostensibly there to protect only serves to prevent life from actually happening.

It dulls the senses.

It denies the soul.

It is not true.

Are you well alive just because you are not dead?

In our bones we know better.

Birth is not completely trustworthy, not every time, but this is the risk of LIFE.

What’s the alternative?

I’m bouncing my son as he naps on my chest and have lots of time to reflect.

What is happening, in the world today, what do we need to move forward in a good way.

What will bring us peace within, ease the anguish of suppressed guilt and pain.

I have lots of ideas 😏

Primarily the answer to the silos we are encouraged to set up camp in seems to be gathering in heartfelt community.

Gathering as we are, with the simple aim to be there together, to connect, authentically, from a place of full acceptance of ourself, and therefore the other.

This is what I’m looking forward to in the return to this August.

Knowing that feeling of the energy of complete presence and landing will be fully supported.

I am fully here.

I am able to fully be here.

Just that already so much, offering so much to our systems.

From that safety is how we can release what doesn’t need to remain.

Our bodies the playground of what is being asked of the collective in the evolution of now.

There are over 100 women showing up to this to celebrate life and do the healing work.

The shifting parts within ourselves and coming into realization of our wholeness work.

In the intention to connect we realize how inextricably connected we all are.

We become able to live from that place.

And that is beautiful.

Join us in the beauty, there are still a few tickets left.

We are going to alchemist some serious s**t and walk away nurtured, lighter, free.

All of us borne of the earth, made up of the elements— this summer we gather to honour that.

On the land, in our bodies, together truly as we always are.

Are you feeling the call?

“And so, the midwife performs her work by doing nothing.

She teaches without saying a word.

Things arise, and she lets them come.

Things leave, and she lets them go.

Creating, not possessing,

Working and laying no claim.

And then, when her work is done, she releases it.

She lets it go, and so it lasts forever.”

‘The Way of Midwifery’ adapted from The Tao de Ching

Let us be midwives dear mothers, love you.
