In this episode of The Source Connection, we talk with our very special guest, Alana Bliss, about a lot of exciting and beautiful things, but most passionately, conscious birthing.
Alana, a home birth doula, an author, and a Permaculturist, shares her dedication to birthing consciously in the new paradigm. We discuss the current model of birthing and how it’s been of disservice to women and all beings, and what the possibilities are of birthing a child into this world in a different way that’s rooted in more love and care for all. “Who controls birth controls the Earth.”
We explore what it means to trust the body completely in the birthing process, and transmuting the fear that has been a part of birth for as long as we all can remember.
We also talk about permaculture on the land and how it relates to our inner-world and building this new earth together.
More about Alana:
Alana Bliss has been exploring solutions to ecological, social issues, holistic wellness, and conscious birth for over 10 years.
She is a home Birth doula, an author, and a Permaculturalist.
After completing a Permaculture Design Certification and Natural Building apprenticeship in 2006, Alana dedicated her life to sustainable solutions. She and her family drove to Costa Rica in their self-converted veggie-oil RV, where they founded Finca Fruición: Permaculture Land Cooperative. In 2009, Alana took her Advanced Permaculture Course in Teaching, and has been facilitating permaculture courses and internships ever since. With her family and a small group of dedicated individuals, Alana lived and worked at the land cooperative and Fruition Center she ran in Costa Rica. There she hosted eco-tourists, interns, courses, staff and volunteers. Alana focuses on inspirational education, offering her students the skills to become confident permaculture designers.
Upon returning to her home in Minneapolis, MN she founded her own Permaculture Landscape Company "Green Guilds" that incorporates cultivating a more healthy and vibrant environment anywhere. Ecological Landscape Design, Landscape Maintenance, and Eco-Interior Design as well as Aquaponic Systems are custom designed, from small to large scale. The functions of these systems are to provide food and beauty indoors, year round.
Alana also published with a group of authors in the book Psychedelic Mysteries of the Feminine. She has presented internationally about birth as a rite of passage at festivals from Boom to Envision to Shangra La.
Alana is also a psychonaut, where she explores consciousness and gains deeper layers of understanding of the divine and herself. Alana is a mother of 4 children and has worked with mothers to support them in raising empowered children.
