Ceremony weaving & ritual making 🌀

New thresholds deserve ritual & ceremony.
As a mother I can see that’s my way through. We’ve lost ceremony within our daily lives, and I’ve been working to bring it back for my family.

Ceremony weaving & mothering go hand in hand. And my son will grow up knowing this too. Seeing his mother as creator, weaver of the divine web of life. 🕸️

I truly believe that holding our recent weaning ceremony helped all aspects of his mind, body, and spirit to transition into weaning. And my own too.

We asked Mother Earth to hold us, and she continues to do so. We buried his placenta in the same spot that we poured his last milk. Our placenta is our protector - burying our placenta in the ground lets Mother Earth know that our babies have arrived, and holds their Miwi, or spirit journey. To pour his last milk on the same spot felt like we let his spirit know too.

I have a Ceremonial Weaning e-guide coming soon. Let me know if you’re interested & I’ll let you know once it’s up.

‘The wounded feminine in me hated all of the things that I love about women now.

I love seeing the lightness and heaviness in women. Their whole self.

I love to see the wholeness in myself and the others around me.’

This was the first thing that dropped in while I sat in circle with the beautiful Jess from Temple Wellness last night. I thought this when I looked around the circle and saw all of the women around me.

When you hold space for others it’s so magical to drop into having others holding that same space for you. ✨

I managed to move that statement down to a one word intention.

*Wholeness*

And pondering this further has made me realise
that we can’t love within ourselves what we dislike in others. The love and joy I have in seeing women be themselves, is also the love and joy I cherish in being me.

Such a huge shift, and grateful for the opportunity to let that realisation sink in.

My journey to sobriety began last April. I happened to read a book called, ‘Quit Like a Woman’, and it became a catalyst for me to see alcohol in a whole new light.

I had spent the last few years removing toxins from my life, from perfume, to non-stick cookware. And I realised that despite removing these toxins from my life, I was still willingly drinking a toxin reasonably regularly. Drinking alcohol was now incongruent with my way of life. But I had given it a free pass? On what basis?

I was proud of the fact that I generally avoided softdrink, because it was so unhealthy. But 4 ginger beers in a row? That didn’t count right? Another free pass. I knew it wasn’t healthy, but I NEEDED it. Didn’t I?

I also questioned whether I wanted my son to see my drinking. Was that the right example to set for him? The whole world was already going to tell him he could drink once he got older, he didn’t need me providing that messaging too. ‘That’s a Mummy drink’. Gross. I’m normalising alcohol consumption through my own actions around him.

So, I decided back in April that I would no longer drink at my own house. And I wouldn’t purchase alcohol from a bottle shop. I thought then that it might be temporary, just for a little while. It isn’t like I was a binge-drinker (anymore), so I didn’t really have a problem.

I had 2 drinks in May. And then I didn’t drink again until October. It went by easily, I had no expectations of myself. Then I had a few drinks while out to dinner for a friends birthday. I explored why I felt I needed to drink there. And learnt even more about myself. I had another event in October, and realised after a couple that I really didn’t enjoy it anyway. And then had a voucher to spend, so we had a few drinks in November too, I felt like it was a goodbye. My last drink was on Christmas Day. I had one glass of white wine, because we had paid for all you can drink. But I didn’t want it. And I decided then, that I wouldn’t be drinking for the next year. And so it began, my 12 months sober.

And I’m inviting you along for the journey too. Sober Circles starts tomorrow at 10am. Let me know if you’d like to join. Xx

So! You want to stop drinking? 🍾🥂 Or maybe you stopped drinking a while ago and are looking for some community in your . I know I am! So I’m bringing you Sober Circles. 🎉

I want community, community that challenges, or at least considers the current status quo when in comes to our ambivalence around alcohol.

I want community that is willing to explore our cultural narratives and belief systems around alcohol consumption.

I want community that is willing to learn about the ways in which alcohol affects us on a physical and emotional level. And considers the ways that their health is impacted by alcohol. Because it most definitely is!

We will meet every second month, on Saturday mornings at 10am. Cost is $10 per session and a Zoom link will be provided to you. Dates so far are as follows:
- Saturday 24th February
- Saturday 27th April
- Saturday 22nd June

It’s important to add, this is not an Alcoholic Support Group. This is a circle of support for those that are wanting to reduce their alcohol consumption or stop drinking. I am not an addiction counsellor, and will not be providing therapeutic support. I am simply seeking to create likeminded community within this space, as well as share my own journey.

Sunday’s circle was so lush. 🥰

I adore holding space for all of the emotions of pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

We spent some time envisioning our perfect postpartum, and then ventured into some practical steps we can take to make that our reality.

Postpartum care is your birthright.

By recognising the support that we wish to seek, we can better equip the community around us to provide that support too.

If we are specific about the ways in which we require help, it is easier for the people around us to meet us where we’re at, to meet our needs and to show up in the ways that are actually useful.

Just a couple of the ways we can do this is by:

🌸 Doing up a ‘postpartum’ jobs list and seeing if we can think of someone that could do that task. You might have a friend who isn’t really into babies, but is super into dogs and would happily take you pups for a walk for you. Or the neighbours son might be wanting to do some lawn mowing for cash, so that job can go to him. And this also deepens your connection with that neighbour.

🌸 Setting up a meal train, asking for donations from those that live further away to provide support for a postpartum doula or meal service.
Nourishing meals are a whole love language, and who’d prefer a meal over another bunch of flowers? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ (Me, definitely me!)

And my absolute favourite thing about this? By living your dream postpartum and equipping those around you to provide support, it creates a catalyst for women to want MORE. More support, more nourishment, more rest.
You become their permission slip to accept help and support in postpartum too. This is the dream. 💭💭💭

I think this is one of the biggest hurdles that we face when it comes to postpartum care.

And it starts with challenging our own belief systems.

Like, do we actually deserve care? What if we can’t ‘repay’ the debt? Will I owe someone something? Will it make me look weak? Like I don’t have it together? But women in my family don’t accept help, we just put our head down and get on with it?

I want you to know that postpartum care is your birthright. (Let that sink in! - like really, let it sit into your bones)

Community care and postpartum go hand in hand. And that’s what we’re going to be focusing on this Sunday.

It’s going to be an equal mix of heart and mind. We’ll start with the heart space, as we journey through the Cacao Ceremony, Sharing Circle & Sound Bowls. And then moving into the mind opening topic of creating community for postpartum.

It’s going to look like -
- The ancient roots of postpartum care
- Modern approaches to postpartum
- The principles of postpartum
- Postpartum visioning
- Our own webs of connection that create community
- Exploring our barriers to creating community and asking for help
- Practical ways in which we can ask for help in postpartum

4 spots left for this circle lovers 😍 and I’m already dreaming up what our next circle might look like.

The birth of my son, just over 3 years ago now. 🌻

Both him, and his birth are my ‘why’.

Birth changed me beyond measure, I really couldn’t have known just how much it would.

They say when you give birth, you’re going to meet a whole new person. And that person isn’t your new baby, it’s you.

I had genuinely spent alot of time and effort ensuring my birth would run smoothly. I was going to ‘control’ all I could with a capital C!
But closing in on 42 weeks really wasn’t something I had planned for.

While I still tried to ensure our birth was a gentle transition, it wasn’t to be and after a long labour, we welcomed our boy by Caesarean Birth. I now know that our Caesarean wasn’t necessary, and can reflect back on some decisions I would have made differently.

Both becoming a mother, and his birth sent me into a bit of a spin. I questioned it, journeyed through it, felt it deeply and still continue to alchemise all of the lessons of it.

I now know that the decisions I made then were the best decisions I could make with the information and support I had available to me at the time. (Thanks Carla .birth)

I am beyond grateful for my birth experience, not because it was what I wanted, but because it changed me, and I wouldn’t be who I am today without it. My birth was my medicine. 🙏

I’m already planning for my next postpartum in pre-conception. And now I reflect back I can see how I began preparing for pre-conception when I was in postpartum.

Some of the ways I’ve prepared for pre-conception in postpartum are by:
- Debriefing my birth story, feeling into any trauma that I’ve had around my past birth experience
- Reflecting on my birth and recognising the lessons and transformation that birth gave me
- Looking after my health, and healing
- Learning about birth and postpartum outside of the standard medical model

And I’m now preparing for postpartum in pre-conception by:

- Recognising rest as a priority
- Learning to accept help, and stop being the martyr.
- Creating community with other women and mothers
- Deconstructing any cultural narratives I have held about ‘not being/doing enough’
- Seeing my own work as a mother, and how important the work that I do is.
- Learning about cultural postpartum practices, nourishment and support
- Seeing that by looking after myself in postpartum means that I am looking after the health of my baby, my family, and myself into the future.

Is there anything you’ve done that has helped you prepare for pre-conception or postpartum? Do you see how they flow into each other? 🌀

The health of a community is reflected in the health of a mother. ❤️

And I think that speaks volumes about the ways in which mothers have become ‘forgotten’ or ‘unseen’ within their own communities.

It’s important to create community for yourself in postpartum. Creating community for yourself that is authentic, fulfilling and connected, not just for postpartum, but FOR LIFE. ✨

Our circle theme topic this month will be about creating community for postpartum. Because the village doesn’t just ‘turn up’ when we have a baby. We’ll delve into many community based topics, and sorry (not sorry) you’ll have some homework to do at the end!

Circle is Sunday 18th February and $30. Please DM to book.

Much love, always! 💞

Hi! I’m Britainie, and I’m the Mumma behind From Womb to World.

I thought it might be nice to tell you a little about me. 🌸

I’m an Emerald local, having lived here on an off for over 15 years now! We’re very settled here, but I do sometimes dream of somewhere cooler.

I wholeheartedly love all things pre-conception, birth, post-partum and motherhood. All of the womb continuum. 🌀

I’m a huge birth advocate, and want all women to feel empowered by their pregnancy and birth journeys. A powerful birth creates the building blocks to be confident and connected mothers.

I have a 3 year old son, and we have been consciously conceiving our next baby. We are so ready and excited for them to land.

Our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum wasn’t what I imagined. But that experience has fuelled my passion for birth, and for all women to have an experience they are proud of.

My favourite birthy topics centre the mother as the authority within her health, birth, and baby.
These topics include conscious conception, wild pregnancy, freebirth and supported postpartum care.

Birth belongs to women. 💞
