Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care

The sacred window is not just for postpartum. It is a bringing of reverence to a time that otherwise could pass without significance. Maybe we were able to have a supported and special time after our children were born, maybe we did not. Maybe we honored a sacred window during menopause or at any other major transition in our lives. What is important is that we paused, took a moment and acknowledged that something was important for us. We did something - maybe as small as a deep breath - maybe as involved as 40 days of a healing routine. We gave special care to ourselves in a big or small way to help sustain our energy, our health, our wellbeing in order to bring longevity and sustainability to our present and future selves.

In this conversation with Marinella, we further explored the Sacred Window as a Yearly Ritual in some beautiful ways. It has opened up a window of inspiration for me, as I hope it will do for you. Enjoy!

‌

Marinella Benelli is a mother, postpartum doula (graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies), yoga teacher, massage therapist and holder of women's circles based in Bristol, UK. She has been working with women for over a decade, with a special focus on the childbearing years and rites of passage.

Her own experience of Sacred Window was foundational for her mothering journey and for the continued commitment to her self-care, which is becoming non-negotiable now as she transition through peri menopause - and it's the inspiration for this conversation about the "Sacred Window as a Yearly Ritual".

Emily Seeboo is a mother to a beautiful baby boy.  Her story is her own, just as each of ours should have a story that reflects our true sense of self and safety.

In this interview, Emily shares her story of her homebirth, and we talk further about staying true to self, even when it does not align with expectations from our family or loved ones.  During the childbearing year, we are especially sensitive and tender to the energies of those around us.  It can be devastating to not receive the support or approval we wish we had.

From pregnancy, birth and postpartum decision making and planning, Emily and her husband manifested a beautiful story and learned a ton along the way.

Thank you Emily for sharing your story with us!

Today on the Sacred Window podcast we talk about sustainability and minimal living in the postpartum period. Our guest, Amanda, is an artist and mother who gave birth just over a year ago for the first time. She has used both cloth diapers and elimination communication to reduce plastic diaper waste for the planet. In the West in the past 100 years, plastic diapers have become the norm, but she points out that cultures around the world utilize different forms of elimination communication and cloth diapers have been the norm for generations. She spoke about how easy and accessible these methods are to use to quell fears and apprehensions.

Some links she has personally used for information on elimination communication and cloth diapers:

On todays episode we talked with Courtney Morris, mother, Licensed Professional Counseling-Associate, master's level holistic nutritionist, and yoga teacher. We discussed perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and the mind-body connection. Courtney shared her story about her experience with eating disorders as a youth and describes how yoga played a huge role in healing her connection with her body. This led to her offering support to those that were struggling with the same issues, with a less clinical approach. While in school to become a counselor, she became pregnant and began to feel called to work with those who have experienced perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

She breaks down the broad scope of what PMADS are, who they affect, how to identify them, and how they can interrupt the time of pregnancy and postpartum time. We explored tools and insights on how we can navigate the emotional changes of postpartum that are experienced by most families.

Today on the Sacred Window Podcast student, postpartum caregiver, and devoted dancer, Alysha Higgins, introduces us to her dance instructor, Vera Passos. Alysha and Vera will guide us through a beautiful movement class on Tuesday, December 14th at 630pm EST so be sure not to miss it! Click HERE to register!

Vera Passos is the Associate Artistic Director of Viver Brasil in Los Angeles and the Founder/Artistic Director of Casa de Cultura Do Movimento in Salvador, Bahia. Vera is a choreographer, master teacher, dancer and producer whose profound and indigenous relationship with Afro-Brazilian movement and music richly infuses her teaching and choreography. In her own words, Vera acknowledges the importance and impact that Bahian culture has in shaping the power and expression that she articulates and commands as an artist, “My culture is my inspiration, my feet speak with the earth and bring ancestral messages of joy, resistance and harmony.”

Vera joins us in speaking about the orixa, and her personal connection and experience with these mysterious and complex energy forms. She tells stories of orixa Iemanja and the way her powerful energies manifest in the physical world and the embodiment of her fierce, protective, unconditional love. It is understood that we move with intention to embody those qualities. We learn that through movement and dance we can rid ourselves of separation and connect to the creative energy that dissolves all barriers. Vera says when community comes together to dance the space changes from “mine” to “ours”. It becomes a community space with no barriers, it becomes-- what is good for everyone.

Topics Covered...

What is orixa

Who is Iemanja?

Stories of Iemanja 

Using the inspiration of Iemanja through dance and movement

Transformation through movement

Connection of the elements to dance to life

On todays episode, Sacred Window Studies student advisor Roshni Kavate talked to Rebecca Seross about navigating parenting her genderfluid child. Among other things, Rebecca is a mother of three, RN, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Postpartum Doula. She is the founder of Remedies for Resilience where she leads a 12 week journey into creating and establishing a nourishing and sustainable self care routine for the postpartum parent.

“I am parenting a unique soul that is finding their own course, creating their own grooves in the earth, led by their own divine wisdom. I see it as my responsibility now to dive in and educate myself about self love for the infinite self, rather than just the feminine self. I am grateful for my connection to the feminine; I don’t abandon it. I take that wisdom with me as I sit before the feet of my teachers, my children, our children, their new eyes, their unfettered vision of themselves, of humanity, of the future. I am in service to you, and I will do the work to walk beside you on your journey.” - Rebecca Seross, Excerpt from Sacred Window Studies Blog

Today on the Sacred Window Podcast one of our Community Holders, Roshni Kavate spoke with Raeanne Madison. Raeanne is an Indigenous Postpartum Educator and Postpartum Doula located in far Northern Michigan. After learning of her indigenous Anishinaabe heritage at 13 years old, she spent years researching and connecting with her lineage. The traumatic first birth of her 1st child propelled Raeanne on her ancestral journey, piecing together traditional birthing and postpartum practices. She spent the next 8 years connecting with Indigenous teachers in every corner of Anishinaabe Aki. Raeanne now teaches a comprehensive online course that is focused on using ancestral wisdom to restore health and wellness in the postpartum period.

Raeanne joins us in speaking about postpartum care that is rooted in her Anishinaabe cultural traditions. We spoke about the importance of healing through traditional foods and practices. Raeanne shares the foundational aspects of the human experience during the postpartum time and how to support those through a consent based relationship. We discussed topics that every postpartum professional and postpartum family should know about, from activating resiliency in the DNA to saying ‘NO’ to ice packs postpartum.

“The medicine is always in us, there are just a few things that we can do to access that.” - Raeanne

Today on Sacred Window Podcast:

The story of discovering indigenous ancestry and reclamation of ancestral practice How she came to birth work and integrating her cultural traditions Birth and Postpartum as bridge to deeper connect with ancestors Making space for the grief of postpartum Reconnecting to indigenous medicine Consent based relationships Anishinnabe traditional postpartum care Healing the womb wound

"When a postpartum mother processes her birth story while it's fresh, she will discover strength, power and courage, and possibly even self-love and compassion, where she once felt judgment toward herself for a choice she made during her birth. She will shift into a place of power and wisdom and this will inform how she sees herself as a mother."  --Shelley Rahim

Dr. Prity Dal lives in Mumbai, India and is a dentist by training and prenatal and postnatal fitness expert. She specializes in working with people with diastasis recti, which is what we will be talking about today. We talked about the importance of allowing our body to heal fully before following the mainstream push to "snap back" after birth. Prity stresses that mindful movement and awareness of our body postures, highly impacts our chance of worsening or producing diastasis. We go into depth about what specific movements to avoid, what movement to do and how to support a strong recovery postpartum. 

“So in the past 8 months I must have done 30 consultations and out of that only 3 didn't have diastasis. The rest, 27 people had diastasis, so it is that common. ” - Prity Dal

The Sacred Window Podcast | 03 - Reviving Postpartum Care in Modern Society

Julia Jones specializes in teaching professionals how to support the postpartum time by merging the two realms of science and the ancient Ayurvedic tradition. She teaches students from all over the world, sharing her wisdom on supporting new moms in the transformation into motherhood. In her specially curated program called Infant Mothers she utilizes brain science, anthropology, evolution and traditional medicine. You can find her at https://newbornmothers.com/ to learn more about her, purchase her books and learn about her offerings.

Julia joins us in speaking about a big topic: the revival of postpartum care. We hit many different points and angles, in the conversation from patriarchy to neuroscience. She explains the importance of the postpartum period and the impact of the loss of knowledge from cultural traditions. We discussed how to move forward from this story of lost knowledge, towards changing the modern paradigm of postpartum care. Julia speaks about how creating strong support networks of care for postpartum mothers, and the postpartum doula profession in itself is a radical push for social change.

“When a baby is born, so is a mother. ” - Julia Jones

Today on Sacred Window Podcast:

Cultural traditions and the shift away from traditional postpartum care and how they mirror each other -- Colonization, industrialization and its impact on tradition -- The postpartum doula profession as a radical act -- Asking versus taking care of self, how to accept help- Patriarchy, masculine energy and its impact on postpartum and your postpartum doula business-- Navigating accessibility in postpartum care- Social change in postpartum care Cultural appropriation in practicing postpartum care Neuroscience and how our brain changes with pregnancy and birth

The Sacred Window Podcast | 02 - Raising Awareness in Postpartum Care with the Sacred Window Postpartum Care Collective Community Holders

In this episode we gathered with our PCC Community Holders Euni, Roshni and Siena. Euni is a writer, artist, full spectrum doula, reiki healer and connection + creativity facilitator based in San Diego on Kumeyaay territory. Roshni is the founder of Cardamom Kavate, a wellness platform dedicated to exploring grief, our ancestral rituals and living in our wilderness. Siena is a birth and postpartum doula and co creator of Conscious Nurturer, a community for new parents centered around reclaiming personal identities in parenthood and creating nourishing, accessible pathways of support.

Our community holders join us today in conversation about ways to raise awareness in the postpartum time. We talked about collaborative, familial care and its roots in indigenous culture. There were moments where we explored the topics of postpartum and bereavement, not only related to a loss of child, but related to identity. We discussed working collaboratively with clients within a community based model versus based off of a hierarchy system. We found what it means to start within our own communities and create circles of support that mirror the models of care we want to see happen in the world.

“If we can empower someone to feel like they deserve to be cared for, they can ask to be cared for, that there are people there who will care for them, then we have done an amazing job. ” - Christine Eck
