The Stoned Chrysalis

We follow a framework that starts with understanding and unpacking what we have come to understand as “normal" -- We will ask "How did we get here?" and "How is my experience being impacted by social and systemic structures, my micro and macro conditioning?" --- Each week will be an opportunity to explore and dive deeper into our internal thresholds created by systems and structures that have impacted our lives individually and humanity on a collective scale. We will look at the ways in which our lens’ has been informed by micro and macro conditioning and early imprinting that we refer to as the “Blueprint”. The mentorship will invite you to begin stripping back the layers that no longer serve you, to become adept at identifying what is your truth and what is imprinting so you may walk more freely and create your experience from a more aligned place. These tools will also allow for you to meet others more fully in their experience. Each week we will have a different theme including: Birth imprints, Birth Trauma from a Transpersonal perspective, The colonisation of Birth, The culture of Mother as Martyr: How Mother is Martyred on the altar of "success", (Earth) Mother Centred business, families and communities. And more. We will be joined by very special guests who will bring their wisdom into the space for us to then unpack together.

While our sessions will have a theme each week with certain content we will cover, I am not rigid in how I navigate sessions and do not facilitate in a hierarchical way or through a traditional teaching lens. Each session will create it’s own energy based on what each of us is journeying with that day and I will follow the threads that present themselves intuitively and based on the need of the moment. If you prefer the kind of facilitation that echoes content heavy, top down, traditional style facilitation that mimics school or corporate sector you may not align with this mentorship. I facilitate in a way that is intuitive and privileges what is alive for me and the group each day, while also honouring the intention of this container and the intended learning outcomes. As a group member you are valued, I acknowledge that you will have wisdom and learning to share, so the space will be available for you to share and respond.

This container centres mothering and understands that children must be welcomed into our spaces, children belong in community and this is integral to creating a new paradigm where parenting is once again seen as sacred. There is malleability and acceptance within this space - your capacity is honoured. We ask that you show up as you are, and you will be gently supported to remove any masks that may be holding you back from showing up authentically. We live in a patriarchal structure and are largely forced to learn and work in a patriarchal framework, where the realities of birthing, mothering, feeding and being whole, complex humans is not respected or even really acknowledged. We are re-writing this paradigm and bringing forth new pathways that centre Mother and Matriarchy, Mothers deserve to learn in environments that celebrate them and their children, that understand the nature of mothering and make space for it.

The core of Transpersonal Birth Mentoring is the understanding that the best birth preparation we can do is to learn about ourselves, unravel our conditioning and move toward birth and child rearing from a place of our deep truth and self awareness. We understand birth preparation as the biggest work we can do in this lifetime. TBM is for those who understand that to birth and raise babies is the most sacred and important role available and the opportunity for healing and expansion through this is of the absolute highest value. Through this mentorship you will be asked to reflect deeply on your own birth, your ancestral imprints and social conditioning so that you may bring your new baby into this world from a clearer and more powerful state of being. These are very potent and transformative times, bringing children through at this time requires us to be in more fully in our power so we can sift through the noise and guide them in the way they deserve and need to be guided. We will explore birth imprints, birth trauma and the system, the value of physiology, placenta wisdom and care and birth will be woven through the entirety of the mentorship.

This mentorship is for both personal and professional development. It is not possible to separate the two if we are to create and run businesses in sustainable ways that honour our wholeness and the wholeness of those we walk with. It is imperative that we do the necessary work to heal our own conditioning around what it means to work, be successful and run businesses if we are to create sustainable careers that nourish us both financially and spiritually. This mentorship is intended to show in an embodied way that another way is possible, we can do business differently and in a way that centres Mothering and remembers the Earth. We will unpack the patriarchal ways we have been taught to view "success" and how these have been dependent on Mothers being Martyred, including Mother Earth. We will spend time exploring what really nourishes you and what your medicine really is so you may birth it into the world with confidence and support.

Yes, all classes will be recorded and uploaded into our online portal for those who can't make it live and for you to revisit at any time.

Whether you are on your own personal healing journey or walking with others on theirs in a professional capacity, I will facilitate and share with you processes I utilise often in sessions with those I work with. You have access to my facilitation style, transpersonal processes and the tools I personally use to hold space for/regulate myself and to hold space for others. Through story we will explore some case studies and skills that can be utilised in certain therapeutic situations. We will look at the ethics of space holding and how integral our own self work really is. You will learn what is needed in order to meet people where they are and tools to ensure you are honouring your own capacity. While this mentorship speaks to birth, it is not only for folks birthing babies or birthwork businesses as the energy of birth is present in all manner of creative pursuits.
