Womb as altar, intersection of grief and pleasure & the teachings of the mesentery {with Stacey Ramsower, Abigail Rose Clarke + myself}

Our wombspaces are SO MUCH MORE than our menstrual cycles. They are locations of profound power, pleasure, wisdom and great teachings. In this week's medley episode, I bring together three episodes that illustrate some of the depth and breadth of the palace of the pelvis.First, I offer an invitation to consider your wombspace as not just a physical location in your body, but a place of sacredness, an actual altar, that you can offer your presence and care to. Next, I share a snippet of a conversation with Stacey Ramsower, who beautifully articulates the interplay of grief and pleasure -- specifically in the postpartum time, but it can be applied to any time when our identities are massively changing.And finally, I share a glimpse into the potent conversation I had with Abigail Rose Clarke about the mesentery -- which is the embryological origin of all the abdominal organs, and has so much to wisdom about how strength is not just about being firm and solid, but also about being soft and nurturing. I honestly just loved these conversations when I had them, and realize they're from long enough ago you may not have listened to them, so I highly recommend diving in -- especially in this wombspace of the year as we both reflect on what we've passed through in 2024, and look to where we're going in 2025. On this new moon, may you feel more connected to your wombspace, to the wisdom and teachings held there, and to the seeds of possibility you're generating in the palace of your pelvis as we enter into the wheel of this new year.Happy new year, beautiful friends. Let's bring some magic into this one. Resources:Listen to the full episodes:Episode 34: What if your womb was an altarEpisode 65: Grief + pleasure w Stacy RamsowerEpisode 93: Teachings of the mesentery with Abigail Rose ClarkeFree guided visualization: Womb connection and clearing practiceIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!
