We’re coming down to the wire here with the last week that you can enroll in our Sacred Birth Certificate program.

I don’t really think about writing these emails as a way of “selling” anyone on our stuff. My sense is that many of you feel that this program IS perhaps right for you and are feeling into the timing.

So I write today with a story of timing and how the *same thing* (whatever it is) can feel really great when it’s the right time. And seriously not aligned when it isn’t.

Let’s take attending births. I’ve made a fairly big deal here and there about how it is not the time for me to do that. There are a lot of reasons in my head as to why that is, but really it’s more that something doesn’t feel right about the way I was doing it.

I mostly just let that be for now. But yesterday we were out at this amazing farm property that we have been helping on (the ultimate homeschool; it’s got plants, fruit, room to run, water, pets AND amazing connected and down to earth people!) and such a MAJOR clue came in for me about this birth/timing topic.

We had our hands literally in the dirt in many ways. Of course that is so grounding but it’s also not somewhere I feel completely at home. The friends there are expert farmers, planters, communicators with the plants and I was happy to follow their orders.

But with my hands in the dirt, it came to me that THIS is how I feel about attending births.
Like, my hands in the soil is witnessing a baby come out, with all the blood, sweat and tears.

My gift to the world isn’t plants, but it is in LIFE. It is in the deep knowing that I was meant for this, the rawness of nature that we call birth.

When this amazing Indie Birth Sanctuary manifests, it will be the much close to the vision I have held for years. A place where women can birth outside the system and in close connection with the plants, the land and water. Given the right elements and recipe and timing I would not hesitate to attend birth in this place, in this way.

I don’t know when or how this Sanctuary vision will come about. Most of us don’t know when or how our greatest dreams will occur.

It’s more about paying attention to the clues all around us, the magic that is every day life. The “hands in the dirt” that remind us that we are here for a reason, even if we don’t know what that is.
