Mythopoetic Womb Release - Samantha Zipporah

Mythopoetic Womb Release - Samantha Zipporah

Author: Amber Magnolia Hill December 17, 2020 Duration: 1:25:38
Your ancestors are with you every time the portal of the womb opens; our blood connects us to our lineage, to the mythic archetypes that hold meaning for us, and to our deepest inner selves. Whatever sort of womb release you experience, it lies on a continuum of commonality with all releases. Let us explore these interconnections so that we can be deeply rooted in our own bodies.

TOPICS:
  • How Samantha got into this work
  • The womb as a source of pleasure and power, instead of pain
  • There is cellular alchemy no matter how a pregnancy ends (birth, miscarriage, abortion) and commonalities between all the different kinds of pregnancy release
  • Abortion is a nexus of sex and death and birth
  • The Dark Goddess and the Underworld Journey- seeing the release of a pregnancy through a mythic lens
  • Modern medicine is an industry, not a healing modality
  • The psychospiritual process of menstruation: when the cervix is open we can more easily access other states of consciousness
  • The Sacred Yes- what we are saying yes to when we say no to a pregnancy
  • Honoring death as a healing need in our culture
  • Function and access to Misoprostol
  • Understanding the two categories of abortion: mechanical and chemical
  • Demystifying the idea of a "natural abortion"
  • Herbs: emmenagogues and abortifacients 
  • Sitting at the feet of the plant elders
  • Systems of false authority, persecution, and the witch wound
  • How shame and secrecy around abortion can prolong bleeding
  • Conscious contraception
  • Giving yourself a 40 day postpartum healing period after any pregnancy release
