Wisdom Weavers

In this episode, Alev and I dive into the topic of womb work. From the physiological to the more emotional and sacred, all in a grounded and concise and hopefully entertaining way! This episode is not just for women, but for men interested in understanding more about women and of course, where they came from. We all started out in the womb. We all came from a mother. That is a fact.

I've linked a free shareable doc I crafted to help you get in touch with you womb:

Alev was born and raised in the UK, with a rich Turkish and Jewish heritage. She's a birth doula and nutritional therapist, deeply passionate about herbal medicine. Alev lives in her van within a charming off-grid midwifery community in southern Spain.

Her zest for life radiates through her deep connection to her menstrual cycle. It serves as a reminder of her alignment with nature and her innate strength. She firmly believes in the importance of self-sufficiency and empowerment, advocating for a life beyond the conventional healthcare system.

Alev's work revolves around guiding women through their fertility journeys, pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond, empowering them to take control of their own health. She has crafted a menstrual empowerment calendar, called kunti calendar, that's available for purchase and offers support for home births within Spain and Portugal. Additionally, she provides one-on-one online sessions to connect with those who are further away.

Best way right now to get in touch with Alev and potentially work with her is through her instagram @wild.womb or her email: [email protected]

In this episode, we're joined with Carl-Johan of The Homecoming Son. We dive into topics from the physical to the physiological to the philosophical and spiritual all centered around health and embodiment. Eating, consuming, and existing in a way that is balanced for the body and for the earth. Our roles as shepherds of the earth, stewards of the earth, the polarities of the feminine and masculine, and how men can step into their embodied masculine toward passion, purpose and love. 

@thehomecomingson2.0 is a project started by Carljo Almaraz-Madsen. #thisisthehomecoming is a returning home to working with the ways of nature and the body. When we think of solutions and live them out in our head instead of embodying the practice, we lose track of the reality of our ideas and beliefs. Our ancestors lived their philosophies and very quickly came to the realisation whether the philosophy was increasing wealth, health and happiness or doing the opposite. In today's world we live in the head and rarely revisit the body to check what we are creating in our thoughts, if it is actually the reality we wish to live, and so the homecoming is a returning home to the body to the nature that we are. Carljo believes that truth has to be found in Nature and the more we stray from Nature the less we live truthfully to who we are as Humans.

Hello! It's been a while. Half a year of life taking place and now this podcast is back at the height of the solar light, being reactivated. With more episodes to come. This episode is unique as it's a solocast, a solo podcast. This podcast is really meant to be interviews, and has only been interviews (aside from my introductory episode), but I felt to share something in my heart today that feels relevant to this space, this podcast, you, dear listeners.

This episode dives into the nature of opinion and belief, freedom of speech, leadership, and what a revolution really is.

We have a candid and authentic conversation with Victor DiBono of @blessed_nrg who shares his story and insights. The topics discussed really hit on will power, the evolution of consciousness, and authentic spirituality. I realize i sort of have a little train of this theme going on on this podcast, I guess you can say episodes that are hitting on gnosis, knowledge, and genuine spirituality. Victor decided not to write a little blurb for himself and instead told me to just mention that he’s a normal person with no special gifts, insight, or talents. But I’d argue the contrary, that he seeks to work upon himself and therefore has many insights, just like many of us do. He is sharp and writes beautifully and I found him through his writing, which really struck me- and I’m picky in my taste! He writes a lot on his instagram, which I recommend following and is currently writing a book which I will enjoy reading once I can.

I had the pleasure of having Dave Murphy on the podcast. He and I have known each other in many different settings through 3 different continents. I've got to witness a bit of his transformation from the sidelines as a friend, but I finally got the full story here today. His story is so inspiring... for anyone feeling discouraged in their current career or life and feeling like there may be something more they're meant to do. He's an amazing bridge between the corporate world of  self to the more holistic world of service. 

Born and raised in Sydney Australia, Dave spent 15 years working in brand marketing with some of the most iconic brands all around the world.

While on paper it was a successful career, the further he progressed, the more he felt unfulfilled and disconnected from his true self.

In this episode, I speak with Tara, an independent midwife in Copenhagen, a wise woman, and a beautiful soul. We tap into an intimate connection with the feminine and what it means to be in alignment with Her in all her dimensions. This episode is like honey, so sweet, tender and nourishing.

Tara Ravn is a traditional midwife working in Copenhagen and the countryside around Copenhagen, including the South of Sweden.

She sees the natural worlds in the pregnant woman, in births and post partum, and sustains the shamanic dimensions between woman, body, midwife and earth, tending to the roots of birth medicine.

The roots of birth medicine are very connected to the healer - both the sacred and the wounded. Deep transitions in life, as becoming a mother evokes many, both bright and dark paths inside the landscape of a woman. The roots of birth calls us to befriend the dark feminine, to be able to de-armour our defenses against intimacy in our culture and in our relations. Birth medicine invites us to be somatically embodied with honesty in our approach of each other, the earth and to our own birth stories.

Tara works with activism around birth culture from the inside out. All the women she witnessed give birth are represented in her own body and it is from there she evokes change. From embodiment, honesty and relation.

Tara trained and educated herself in Denmark, but worked in both Norway and Mexico for a deepening in on nature, tradition and health.

In Tepotzlan/Mexico she learned from Angelina Martinez. With her she deepened in on plants and cacao in birth, post partum rituals and nurturing the woman in the first 40 days after birth.

Naoli Vinaver (currently living in Brazil) introduced her to rebozo & ceremonial birthwork in the community.

Lieke currently lives her life in Guatemala. She is a bridge to the Mayan cosmology and works closely with the local midwives. In 2017, she immersed herself in the Mayan traditions while writing her thesis for her MSc in Medical Anthropology. After documenting the stories of many elders and midwives, the synchronicities led her to open her own path as a womb- & birthworker. The Mayan calendar wisdom helped her come home to her essence and the natural cycles of life. An ancestral science to tap into the divine timing and sacred geometry of all of life. Lieke is now part of @themidwifeprojectguatemaya, whose vision is to help preserve and revive Maya midwifery traditions while respectfully bridging modern-day midwifery practices in the upcoming Empowerment through Education program for local Maya midwives.

Mark is an Artist, Illustrator and Writer and has studied with many great teachers in the healing arts of Herbal Medicine, Plant spirit Healing and Geomancy.

To put it simply the key part to my work is listening.. Listening is a state of presence, of whole body awareness, simultaneous awareness to both the inner and outer. Listening deeply with our awareness opens an expanded, receptive, connected experience, one that our Hunter Gatherer ancestors were accustomed to as they traversed the land foraging and hunting.

The labyrinth can help us to forge a deeper connection with ourselves, helping to facilitate a sense of body awareness and bringing us in to altered states that are conducive to communicating with the plant kingdom. An awareness of the lower abdomen, heart and peripheral vision has been used by trackers and many hunter -gatherer cultures to tune in to the spirit of the land, animal and plant kingdoms”.

Mark has hand written and illustrated a book on his journey with the labyrinth and how it can help connect us to the subtle energies of plants and the land, ”Re-wilding with the labyrinth”
