“Make yourself an altar
bring beauty all around you
from the winged ones,
iridescent feathers
whorled shells from sea’s edge
crystals who carry
the heartbeat of the earth
flowers culled from
the gardens of the world
light a thousand candles,
watch the dance of their flames
then open your soul wide and
sing praise to all that is good.
Make yourself a family,
in whatever form you
see as such
for it is what will keep you
—your family, your tribe—
from going mad in this
madly insane world.
Make yourself a poem
with words that soothe,
scintillate, inspire
wrap yourself within its power
then shout it
from every street corner
the world needs it.
Breathe in the moment.
Notice everything.
Love is all there is.
Radiate it.“

~ H. Ní Aódagaín, “Instructions for Life in the 21st Century” from We’Moon 2017

Faith might be thought of as a disposition of trust or confidence in someone or something.
Motherhood is, at its core, an ongoing act of faith.
It begins in pregnancy: when we are asked to have faith in our body’s ability to grow a baby, faith in our capacity to give birth, and faith in our ability to mother that child from birth onwards.
This faith is not static; it is tested and renewed again and again as we move through each stage of motherhood and life.
Beyond faith in ourselves, lies the possibility of faith in something greater that holds and guides us through every trial. This kind of faith plays a significant role in our spiritual growth — helping us realize that life is about more than just our own effort, skills, and accomplishments. In this sense, faith can becomes a growing ground for humility, as well as a symbolic “umbilical cord” connecting us to God.

“Practicing faith is like developing any relationship. You have to give it time and attention. It requires you to see, hear, feel, and constantly remember your partner — God. Have confidence in the relationship's viability, even when you are facing mysteries, doubts, and paradoxes.” ~ Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

Difficulties can become catalysts for faith. Sometimes all we can do is trust that this, too, have a deeper meaning behind it. Whether through larger challenges like illness, or the everyday struggles of motherhood, we can allow ourselves to be strengthened in our faith in a Greater Power that loves us and wants the best for us. We can think of these challenges as training grounds for our faith.

When life feels chaotic, when God/Great Spirit/The Divine seems absent, or when everything around us insists, “There is no help or care here,” we can choose to soften our hearts and surrender to faith.

“Many people assume that the chief challenges to faith are disbelief and doubt, but the real stumbling block to faith is the hardened heart. (...) The hard heart is not open to the sacred. It is similar to eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear.” ~Brussat

"I will not dance to your war drum.
I will not lend my soul nor
my bones to your war drum.
I will not dance to your beating.
I know that beat.
It is lifeless.
I know intimately that skin you are hitting.
It was alive once hunted stolen stretched.
I will not dance to your drummed
up war. I will not pop spin beak for you.
I will not hate for you or even hate you.
I will not kill for you.
Especially I will not die for you.
I will not mourn the dead with murder nor su***de.
I will not side with you nor dance to bombs
because everyone else is dancing.
Everyone can be wrong.
Life is a right not collateral or casual.
I will not forget where I come from.
I will craft my own drum.
Gather my beloved near and our chanting
will be dancing. Our humming will be drumming.
I will not be played. I will not lend my name
nor my rhythm to your beat.
I will dance and resist and dance and
persist and dance.
This heartbeat is louder than death.
Your war drum ain’t louder than this breath."

Today, we had our first live sharing call for this week's content in this online course I'm creating.

Even after countless experiences of sitting in women’s circles and having regular opportunities to exchange stories with other women and mothers, I’m still blown away by the power and value of these spaces.

There’s something so simple yet profound about sharing our experiences to deepen our awareness and understanding of the struggles and triumphs we all share.

“The spiritual life is not about knowing much, but about loving much.”
—Samuel Rahberg

Love, in all its forms, is the most powerful transformative force there is. Perhaps that is why motherhood changes us so deeply- it asks us not only to love unconditionally, but to become love.

“One day, our children will tell the story of how it felt to be around us. And that story will have become the blueprint for their love, their safety, and their self-worth.” —Anjali Jagtiani

You are creating that story now, through the small and large acts of daily love that pour from your warm, radiant, loving Mother Heart.

🌀 This online journey continues to unfold. And it keeps bringing me to my knees with gratitude, for being able to devote myself to this - to share about and explore the spiritual path of Motherhood, and for the beautiful circle of mothers who keep showing up with devotion, curiosity, humbleness and coruage.

Yesterday's live sharing call was once again confirmation that this is the path for me and that I'm meant to walk it with others 👣👣👣

This offering is the continuation of the online course GROW through MOTHERHOOD 🌿 If you feel called to join the next round of GROW, you can sign up to the wait list by following the link in bio.

The other day, I had the great honour of being invited to witness and support a closing ceremony for .maligaia, held by traditional midwife -rito and doula ❤️🙏

As someone whose life’s calling is to hold women through the sacred rites of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, it is deeply moving to experience how others offer this work.

Though we come from different backgrounds and carry different lineages of training, I'm struck by the many similarities in what we do, and how. When we open to Great Spirit with the intention of honouring the threshold, the woman and the mystery, something universal moves through us.

And yet, each space holder brings her own unique essence to the offering, and each woman on the receiving end, receives the particular medicine in the individual way that she needs it.

I dream of a world where every mother is offered the chance to be witnessed, held, and honoured in a way that feels meaningful to her—where ceremony is not an exception, but a birthright available to all.

Have you been held by ceremony, through your passage into Motherhood? I would love to hear what it meant to you.

Some think of prayer as primarily being about asking—petitioning a divine force for help, change, or intervention. While there is great vulnerability and power in naming our needs, it’s also possible to explore prayer beyond the realm of requests.
Eckhart Tolle instead describes prayer as listening and says that the most profound prayer doesn’t come from words—it comes from receptive presence: “I am listening”, “I am open”, “I am here”. Then, a space of silent awareness where we listen—not necessarily with our ears, but with our entire being. In this kind of prayer, we don’t try to make something happen. We don’t reach for answers. We simply open ourselves to what already is.

I can’t help but wonder if this type of attuned, receptive, and open attention is also what our children long for? What happens if you consciously choose to meet your child from this same place—if you turn a moment in presence with your child into a prayer…?

Water holds all potential. It cleanses and regenerates, heals and restores.

It is more than a symbol of source—it IS source. The element from which every living being has emerged.

We are all part of a lineage that stretches far into the past. A great number of individuals, whose lives have culminated in you walking this Earth.

We are also intimately connected to something infinitely greater—through the sacred Water that has been here since the beginning, is currently taking the shape of you, and will remain long after you are gone, but in other forms.

I like to think of the Earth as Great Mother—and Water as Great Great Grandmother. A wise elder who not only carries profound teachings, but from whom we originate.

Our own human experience began in the salty amniotic waters of our mother’s womb. The water surrounding us is not separate from our mother—it carries the taste of her food, the resonance of her voice, the vibration of her emotional world.

To be born, you need an entire constellation of ancestors:
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
all the way to over 4,000 ancestors in just ten generations.
Thats over 2,000 mothers…

Imagine all of these mothers—their struggles and sacrifices, their joys, their heartbreaks and hopes. All that they endured, all the choices they made, led to you. You are the living presence of their legacy. And whether you feel close to your ancestry or not, whether your relationship with your mother is tender or strained, this truth remains: you now stand at the front of the line. You carry what came before, and you shape what comes next.

Our motherline is more than biology—it is also spiritual and energetic.

''All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four month old fetus in the womb of her mother. This means our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother. Each of us spent five months in our grandmother's womb, and she in turn formed in the womb of her grandmother. We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother's blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.''
~ Layne Redmond, When The Drummers Were Women
