🌽🌽🌽 A DORKY DOULAS GUIDE TO COMMITTED COMMUNITY IS ON CLEARANCE FOR $5.25 🌽🌽🌽

Because I need to make room for my next zine and won’t be selling this issue again.

Contents include:
• Community as a value you can chose to live by
• The reality is that you will probably need to get comfortable with grief on your quest to unearth community
• Experimenting with being the weirdo
• I acknowledge that I don’t have many men in my community
• Unearthing Community
• Ceremony, Ritual & Grief
• Make people feel uncomfortable with care
• Lets talk about boundaries actually
• Community takes communication and conflict resolution skills
• Connecting with people who are not our people - The muggles, if you will
• It’s really, really, really uncomfortable to let people see you unwashed, unshaved, unkempt and miserable
• I believe that building community and these kinds of connections are what will save the world
• Relationship Anarchy
• Dear Reader - A blessing

A great resource to add to your library or to give as a little gift.

Or a pandemic!!!!

Unfortunately, postpartum doesn’t make you immune to the complexities of life - so this is your invitation to consider how you might like to wrap care around yourself if your well laid plans for a peaceful, restful, perfect postpartum become way laid.

Not to scare you, but because every single one of those scenarios + have actually happened to either myself or families I have cared for.

You deserve good care even when s**t hits the fan. And the reality is that it might. 🤷🏻

If you required more complex care during postpartum can you please share what was supportive in the comments? ⤵️

The *good* postpartum is BS. If we want to offer meaningful care we need to unpack our ideas of what constitutes care and find ways of being more curious and more creative to meet the needs of the Mothers we wish to serve. Absolutely including ourselves.

Crafting and making stuff with my hands is probably the most affective regulation tool that I have.

So as much as people, anytime I have noticed that I am grumpy; triggered, doom scrolling, sad, bored, pissy, obsessing, spiralling I have to put away my phone pick up a little project and make something. It works every time.

I call this putting myself in *Craft Jail*

So this is what I have making while in *Craft Jail* so far this year.

🧶I am making Mood Cranes this year. (Plus a lot of extras.) and am planning on hanging them in the kitchen window

🧶 A Montessori star inspired by

🧶 I think six cotton face washers/cloths

🧶 Cushion covers repurposed from a project I decided I didn’t like.

If you are interested in crafting for mental wellbeing go give .sunspell a follow!

What crafts have you made this year?
Do you find using your hand quiets your mind?

Seriously, put your phone down and to make something.

Today is the last day to register for A Beginners Guide To Zine Making For Doulas (And Those With A Doula Heart).

It’s going to be so much fun.

Plucky, instructive and informative.

There are still 2 gifted spots available for single mothers (and adjacent) - holler at me!

It seems appropriate for me to compile all my notes for the upcoming A Beginner’s Guide To Zine Making For Doulas (And Those With A Doula Heart!) in a… you guess it… ZINE.

There are still four GIFTED places available for single Mamas (and adjacent.) The only catch - ish, is that I hope you will gift me a copy of your first zine in return (no actual pressure) as a part of my vision of developing a collection of zines that include the voices of Mothers and those who care for them, and any other themes that are loosely centred around motherhood and reproductive justice.

The workshop will run for 60 mins, features a quick chat with special guest, zinester and my belover and the replay will be sent out the following day if you can’t make it live!

Tuesday, Dec 5.

11am - midday

In case you need to hear this…
📣 YOUR NEEDS ARE MORALLY NEUTRAL
📣 YOUR BOUNDARIES ARE MORALLY NEUTRAL

These two lines came out of todays Unearth Your Community workshopping call and they blew my mind.

Inspired by the philosophy that care tasks are morally neutral.

It is unfortunate that often when we express our needs and boundaries and people don’t like our needs and boundaries they use guilt and shame to pull us out of integrity making us the *bad* guy.

You aren’t! Life is rough, hearing no can be hard, hearing yes with limits can be hard…

And don’t forget that your needs are morally neutral. Your boundaries are morally neutral.

The first rule of zine making is: THERE ARE NO RULES. The second rule of zine making is: THERE ARE NO RULES! Third rule of zine making: WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO START YOU START ANYWAY. Fourth rule: YOU ALLOW THE UNFOLDING PROCESS TO GUIDE YOU.

You don’t need to have a fully formed idea about why you are being called to sign up, or how this could be useful to you, this plucky DIY rebel rebel big hearted workshop might sit in your inbox for a year and then you go oh yeah! And you could also participate now, sit on something for twelve months and finally boom you laid a perfect baby zine egg baby. Or you could smash something out next week and all the stars will magically align. We don’t fu**in know.

But we have fun and we trust the process.

Go on; I dare ya!

Live Workshop via Zoom.

A beginners Guide to Zine Making For Doulas - isn’t just for doulas, it is for anyone with a doula heart!!!!!!

I have aimed the workshop at doulas because it part of my vision to make zines a part of doula culture AND none of the info is actually going to be doula specific. 😉

I hope that clears it up.

Doula or no, come along to A Beginners Guide To Zine Making For Doulas on December 5 at 11am.

$20

Replay will be available for everyone who can’t make it live 🤗

Zines have been an important part of activist culture since the 70s, and I also think that for the most part there are very few people advocating for and uplifting the experiences of Mothers. Reproductive justice has focussed on abortion access! yay! While kind of ignoring the conditions under which we mother! Boo!

I have a vision for zines becoming a part of our activism! Historically zines have been used to give voice to the voiceless. And I believe that our voices and stories and experiences, right across the spectrum of motherhood MATTER!

Nothing matters more to me than the experiences of mothers. And yes, I will continue to march and call and email my MPs and continue to uplift the voices of palestinian mothers specifically.

This is all a part of it.

Book a date with a doula who is unlike the other doulas. The doula who is completely bored of domestic tasks and knows you are toooooo! 🙈

❤️‍🔥Let’s go on an adventure, jump in the car and road trip to a body of water and flash our beautiful bo***es at the sky, grab snacks or a spicy marg, and set off into the sunset (Or what ever your version of this is!!!!)

All while diving deep into what it it means to be alive, or to mother in these times; Let’s explore identity and how we can embody our fullest human expression (come what may) or literally what ever it is that you want to talk to me about. I promise I ain’t judging, you probably can’t shock or confront me at this point.

Seriously, let’s ignore the laundry, the dishes in the sink or what ever else is draining all your attention and focus on YOU.

I deeply believe there is more to you than being consumed by the domestic load.

If you want to play, be silly, deep dive, shirk responsibilities for a hot minute, remember how fu**ing cool and hot and interesting and joyeous you can be. Or not. Let’s go full goblin mode too. This is your party.

Let’s be honest. I am not a dhal and herbal beverage doula! If that is what you are looking for, f**k yea, I can recommend some bloody wonderful doulas much more equipped to meet your needs.

But if you are in a season of wanting to feel alive; Wanting to explore the chaos, to shake something, anything lose, come what may, I got you!

Dates with Raff will be available Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons until the end of the year.

I take being paid enough very seriously, AND price is negotiable depending on how expensive your taste. 😘 DM to discuss.
