Merging the inner and outer worlds... with Laura Hart Swann

Unravelling with Lauren Barber

In this episode I talk to priestess, birthkeeper and womb & wild medicine woman Laura Hart Swann.

We discuss...

The season of life Laura is in — both practically as a 41 year old woman who is the Mother of a 6 year old son — and also from an environmental point of view as we approach Beltane and the emerging energy of Spring.

What an intentionally deep rest over the winter months really looks like when running a business and being a Mother, and how she is tending to herself as the energy rises now.

Merging our whole selves in Mothering, Business and Partnerships to encourage a letting-go of separation, and the richness that comes when we allow all pieces to be present in our work and our family life.

Laura’s journey to the soul work she does now as a Priestess, Birthkeeper and Womb and Wild Medicine Woman, and as a Mother who has grown up without a template for Motherhood.

What claiming the name Priestess means to Laura and how important shadow work has been in that journey.

Her calling to revolutionise birth and how we can honour the magic and mystery that comes through in the birth portal - even after birth.

The power of Closing Ceremonies to honour rites of passage, in particular the wrapping and holding process - and how we can reclaim our own lineage through this.
