Birth: Through the Veil

Jane Hardwicke Collings joins me to discuss rites of passage, from maidenhood through our final rite, initiating our sons and our daughters through their first rites, mothering in peri-menopause, and so much more. There is a chapter here for everyone.

Jane is doing a Canadian tour this year and it's her last big tour before she settles down into her late Autumn and Winter years. Don't miss the opportunity to spend time with and to learn from her.

Elena shared the story of her first two births and first Freebirth in episode 25 and she's back to share the story of her most recent Freebirth and it's so rich. She's off grid, she's birthing in front of the fire, you know she's talking about organisms and she's sharing all the juicy details of this beautiful, transformational birth.

Elena Harder catalyzes women from conscious-conception through blissful birth and into masterful matriarchs.  Guiding women in becoming the evolutionary force for good in their family line, so they can experience motherhood as simple, easy and pleasurable. 

Through her own years of suffering in depression, postpartum rage, and suicidal ideation she awakened to the need for mother centered lifestyle. A destined encounter with Joygasm showed her a path out of the shitstorm and into a new beautiful life. 

Now she shares stories of inspiration through her podcast The Joygasmic Life.  She offers tips to release pain and resentment from your sex life, and prioritize centering mothers' needs, creating a vibrant village around you and your family along the way.

A freebirth story from the 1970's before freebirth was a "thing", a movement. Olga shares her two birth stories and the story of the home death of her husband. What if we brought birth and death back to the home, back to the family? Two massive rites of passage.

The work of inner resourcing for these times is a huge topic right now and Drew is here for it. We explore the profound connections formed through children, the wisdom of elders, and we discuss how adversity shapes personal growth and the cultural reflections on life and death. We get into the need for community, the role of women as future wise figures, and the collective responsibility to reimagine a better future, and the gifts that come from loss. This conversation is rich with personal anecdotes and reflections on the human experience, encouraging us all to embrace our unique paths and the interconnectedness of life.

Drew and I also discuss the connections between music, dance, and personal growth and the magic of collaboration in music, as well as the importance of learning through discomfort. The conversation delves into the healing power of resonance, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the ancestral connections we have to music and dance. We emphasize the need for self-expression, the vulnerability that comes with dancing, and how these practices can help us reconnect with our bodies and souls.
