We are so grateful to all the amazing birthkeepers, Priestesses, women, men and babies that joined us for the first ever Sacred Birth Conference.The whole weekend was an incredible, inspiring weaving of learning about the MotherWorld vision as described by Kathy Jones, Priestess of Avalon, which places Mother Earth, Mothers and the values of Mothering in the centre of life and how it has initiated the Sacred Birth Centre as an organisation.

What its means to be a Sacred Birth Keeper including the roles of attending births as well as carrying the flame of Birth Activism with Kristina Turner

We explored birth from a babies perspective and some of the many ways our birth stories can show up in our lives with Joy Horner

We heard about nervous system regulation for birth, postpartum & loss from a somatic perspective and the importance and ways of making a birthing mother feel safe with Iris Lican

We were so humbled and honoured to learn about the healing path of claiming the title Pearl Mother and how Unnur Arndisardottir encourages other infertile and childfree women to take up the title with pride because they have an important and healing role to play here on Mother Earth

We had a full immersion into working with herbs during pregnancy, birth & postnatal time with an informative talk and cleansing ritual with Sunshine Tresidder

Lilia Khousnoutdinova and Olga Lounova will be competing under number 26 with a new claim on maternity care across the bonnet. Claims like ‘Peace on earth brings peace on earth’ which we fully support.
