346 "Infertilities" and "Missed-Conceptions"

For many years I've imagined a group art experience where folks can share through some artistic means their story in trying to become a parent. As someone who experienced 6 miscarriages, much heartache and also opportunities to grow and learn about myself in my journey to becoming a mother, it's something I feel is often kept in the shadows. Today I am officially announcing this show for the Spring of 2025, May 7-11 in Kingston, NY to bring it into the light. It's an open call to anyone who has a story about trying to conceive, adopt, or become a parent in one of the many ways one can. Whether you completed that journey, are still in the midst of it, or have let that path go, you are welcome. Unless you have gone through it yourself, it's hard to know the true magnitude of how this impacts us, physically, mentally, financially. It's my hope that people can feel seen and receive support as they express their stories and help illuminate what so many suffer through alone through this community art show.  If you'd like to participate, please feel free to fill out this brief form, or send me an email with any questions.About a year or so ago, I found a book that convinced me I was ready to do this show. It was in a pile of books at Radio Kingston free to take. On today's show I'll share stories from that book, Infertilities, a curation edited by Elizabeth Horn, Maria Novotny and Robin Silbergleid. NOTE: these stories may be activating for those who have a personal connection to the subject matter.Here's your New Moon report.
