π Overview
There is a fire that lives in your belly β
a quiet, powerful warmth that first called you to serve birth.
Over years of witnessing, tending, and navigating the weight of systems,
that fire can flicker. The glow that once felt steady and alive may feel dimmed by exhaustion, over-responsibility, or heartbreak.
WOMB FIRE is an initiation β
a remembering of what truly fuels you as a midwife, doula, or birth keeper.
Together we gather to re-light the inner hearth,
to feel warmth return to our bellies,
and to remember the sacred in the everyday.
This is a journey home to yourself β
a sacred pause to feed your own fire so you can continue to hold others in theirs.
