Solidarity requires community
It's a honor for me to be able to invite my community. I welcome the local birth workers who have supported me along the way with their teachings, presence and unique medicine way. This retreat could not be complete without the presence of these guest maestras who will join us each evening to supplement our workshop with their knowledge and medicine. I know that you will fall in love with their teachings the way that I have over the years. Please read below and get to know them .
