*conception journey behind the scenes*

Okay, don't hate me when you read this, but...

My husband and I got pregnant on our "first try". We birthed our baby without drugs or intervention, safely & powerfully in our bedroom at home, and we're riding a deeply nourishing postpartum time, free of trauma, depression or anxiety.

But here's the thing...

NONE of it happened without magic.

(Or challenge).

For years, I walked my preconception road solo w/a fierce devotion to meeting the right partner – a man to birth worlds & babies with. I didn't settle for the almost-but-not-quite-right. I held out for him, loneliness, doubts & all.

When we knew we wanted to open our conception portal, we did a 3-day self-guided retreat, full of soulful ritual, hard questions, wild dancing and deep listening.

We conceived our baby after a day-long ritual following a pendulum through Southern Colorado. Our babe literally came down as lightening struck, thunder crashed & orgasms splashed all around.

Every. Single. Step. of our journey has been conscious, intentional & mystical.

My pregnancy was hard as hell, but through it, the myth of Persephone carried me, asking me to go deeper into the underworld of truth, letting go of everything & anyone who wasn't meant to come w/me on the next steps of my Mother Road.

I even encountered a real life birth cave on the beaches of Mendicino, California during our Babymoon & communed with the spirit of the Timeless Cave Woman to help ease my anxieties & prepare for birth.

I wish I could tell you it takes effort for me to be this way, but the truth is, it's my nature. I look for myth & meaning in every day experiences constantly. I make ritual out of ordinary moments like a religion passed down through generations.

The hard part is remembering that THIS – this mystical power that lives inside of me (& you, too, absolutely) – is the SAFEST BET.

Safer than strategy. Safer than reason. Safer than whatever authority out there wants to tell you what to do.

And WHEN we remember, and WHEN we commit, our magic makes way for miracles.

I am devoted to remembering with every ounce of my body & soul. And I am devoted to helping you remember, too.

If you’re on a Conception Journey, or thinking about it in the next year or two, you’re INVITED!
