Re-Villaging Women’s Circle.

(for Mothers & Maidens)

Re-Villaging Women’s Circle

This FREE, monthly gathering is open to all women in the Atlanta area, pregnant or not (nursing babies and non-crawlers welcome). The focus is rebuilding our village through connections of mothers and maidens. Those who are not pregnant are there to witness, hold space and give care - your role in this ceremony is vital.

“In this ceremony we gather around the pregnant mothers, no matter where they plan to birth, how they plan to birth or with whom they plan to birth. We gather around them because they carry the future of our species. We shower them with our finest foods and make them a place of honor. We oil their feet and tell them positive birth stories. Birth stories that are starting to sound like myths and miracles. We hold the sacred space and we listen. We don’t solve the problem. We don’t let any professional hat crown the head of anyone present. We are wimyn together in this great mystery. We laugh and play and talk to baby. We make a circle and sing the power songs around her. We bless her. We feast. They are the Holy Mothers. They deserve our best. We are returning birth back to the community. Back into the hands and hearts of those who are the tribe of her belonging.” - Sister Morning Star on the Village Prenatal
