This month’s circle theme will be the Medicine of Touch and Remembering Palpation as a Wise Woman’s Village Skill.

It seems to me that we are living in a culture that is largely starved for loving touch. Within the realms of pregnancy care, loving touch is at an all time low as the industrial obstetrics system defers to machines and the art of palpation dwindles. 

In a recent conversation a sister said to me, “Why don’t we all as women know how to palpate each other’s pregnant bellies or to be with each other in birth?” This inquiry is worth the pondering. We are doing the work of remembering. 

No power dynamics, no hierarchy, no projection or pathologies… Just curiosity, playfulness, presence, gentle and nurturing loving touch — Sisterhood. Devoted attention to motherbaby connection, celebratory shared awe of the magic and wonderment. This is the vision!  I hope you join us. Inquire for details ✨
