The Aunties Dandelion

How To Make Birthing a Ceremony


Listen Later

Alycia Two Bears practices birthing as ceremony and sees support for pregnant and birthing bodies as key to healthy communities. Through her work and as a mother of five, she advocates for home births, midwifery, and informed access to birthing choices. Alycia recently won University of British Columbia's Carol Hird Memorial Award for dedication to practice in underserved communities.


Alycia is a Two-Spirit storyteller and an award winning poet. Her work has appeared in Red Rising Magazine’s matriarchy issue and has been recognized through the Kemosa Scholarship for Indigenous Mothers in Alberta. She speaks about identity, kinship, and connection in ways that are grounded, expansive, and important for all of us.


Also check out Alycia as host of our 2025 Aunties Emergent visit with Otakwan of Métisse, Otipemisiwak Nationan who is educator, supermodel, producer, and activist. The two talk discuss how to take on bullying, and the Big Love they have for each other.
