As a ritual to mark the turning of the year, I felt called to create something that would continue to remind me in the coming year, of my capacity to gather and recycle elements, objects, and memories to make something new that offers me meaning and beauty.

So I made a new drumstick (been wanting to, ever since our dog got hold of my old one and chewed it quite a bit).

I used a branch of the cacao tree that grows in my garden, and a piassava seed I found in the river that flows through the Tupinambá village I visited not long ago, the same kind of seed which my pipe was crafted out of from one of their elders.

Inside the seed, I placed a small piece of dried umbilical cord from each of my three children, along with a small lock of my own hair, to honour the bond that will always exist between us, and my own ability to nurture new growth.

As I looked for something to wrap around the seed, I found the small leather purse my partner made for me many years ago. Inside that purse, I have until recently carried a chestnut seed for over a decade, from the tree beneath which my grandfather’s ashes were spread. It was the exact size to hold the seed. My daughter eagerly helped me thread a string through it, and together we wrapped it with a crochet ribbon I picked up once in a Swedish charity shop.

I cleared out my fireplace and set the stones anew, marking the eight directions. I lit a small fire, sang my intentions for how I want to lead my family in the coming year, and burned the papers on which I had written what I am ready to leave behind. I prayed with my pipe, blessed my new drumstick, and then drummed and sang until my youngest woke up. Just as she joined us some friends arrived and ritual flowed naturally into play and hang-out.

✨️ I'm curious to hear if you marked the turning of the year with any ritual, or other activity that felt meaningful to you?

The year has just begun.

It’s so easy, right now, to turn toward planning, mapping, doing.
To ask: What do I need to make happen this year?

Before the lists appear.
Before the plans take form.
Before the familiar pull toward doing…

What if you let yourself turn toward receiving?

Receiving through your senses.
Through beauty that meets your eyes.
Through sounds that soothe your nervous system.
Through touch, warmth, scent, taste, movement.

Receiving asks for a different posture.
Not reaching, or striving, but softening into availability.
And this often requires laying something down,
whether it's over-commitment or old expectations and beliefs.

Receiving is not passive, but rather an intentional opening.
A choice to welcome what nourishes, and to lovingly but firmly decline what does not.

May this year meet you with all that you want to receive.

May we remember what lies at the core of this holy night of Christ-mas.
A story of Birth.

For God to enter this world in human form, He had to travel the same portal every human has passed through:
the womb, the va**na, the v***a of Woman.

So much has been said about the birth.
Today I find myself contemplating what followed, Mary, mother of Jesus’s postpartum, so rarely spoken of.

What were those first days and weeks like for her?
As people arrived to see the child and offer their gifts, who listened to her story?
Who brought her nourishing food?
Who rubbed her aching back?
Who held her?

The Son of God depended, after birth, on her recovery and ongoing, devotional labour of care.

May we honour the mothers.
May we remember the postpartum.
May we recognise the sacred labour that continues long after birth.

Mary Breastfeeding Baby Jesus, by Kelly Latimore

Kelly Latimore writes on her website about this piece, that in the early Church, it was not the crucifixion but the lactating Mary that stood as a central symbol of God’s love for humanity. The oldest known image of Mary, from a 2nd-century Roman catacomb, shows Jesus nursing at her breast. Over time this image was revered, then later suppressed, coming to be seen as “inappropriate.” Yet it remains one of the most beautiful and forgotten images of the incarnation: God made flesh, sustained through a mother’s body.

✨Art/Photograph image slide 2: I love this artwork by (slide 2).

I wish someone would create equally striking images of Mary and Jesus in the postpartum days. The images we inherit from stories, myths, and religion quietly shape how we understand, and feel about, our own life passages, and what we are able to see, including the truth that the divine enters the world through every birth, and is sustained by the ordinary, holy labour of mothering.

❤️ Now it is time for me to go and tend to a postpartum mother. Today, this honourable task feels, if possible, even more filled with meaning and reverence.

I love this perspective so much.

💛 Art and words below by (repost)

“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future...”
– Margaret Atwood

"I love this quote. It reminds me that the present moment is, in a way, always a solstice. That still point between light and dark, winter and spring, yesterday and tomorrow. Each only exists in relationship to one another."

One of the clear heart callings of moving to Brazil for me personally, was a deep longing to learn from other women devoted to serving girls and women through the rites of passages of Womanhood.
Women who choose to live in alignment with inner and outer cycles, in intimate relationship with the land, the plants, and a Ceremonial way of life. And to share my medicine with them. 

I feel immense gratitude as this vision continues to unfold slowly but steadily 🌀

Thank you, thank you, thank you Agustina Sosa , Gabriella .matriz, and Nora for the invitation to co-create yesterday’s Closing Ceremony.
I am in awe of the way you walk this earth with such beauty and integrity. Feeling blessed for being gifted the opportunity to walk beside you ✨️🔥

This beautiful artwork by .zena stirred feelings in me and made me think of something my wise reminded me of recently:

Our responsibility to care for all that we birth into the world, not only our children, but also our creations, projects, and dreams. How this requires much tending, nurturing, and protection. And that this caretaking requires much of our life energy, energy that deserves to be both honoured  (not least by ourselves) and reciprocated.

I’ve tracked a pattern in myself, a pull to move on quickly once a new creation has been born, rather than staying to root deeper and help it grow to gain wider reach.

So I’m committing to changing that.

Instead of scattering my energy across too many new beginnings, I’m going to center my focus on what I most deeply feel I came here to do and what I have already birthed into being lately:

✨ postpartum education (in Sweden)
✨ providing supportive containers for mothers to explore motherhood as a path of self-development and mothering as a spiritual practice (online, in English)
✨ and my ceremonial (body)work offerings (both online and here in Brazil)

I feel excited to open a new cycle of all of the above at the beginning of next year.

For now, I’m tending the soil and giving my loving attention to what is already growing.  

🌱What creation of yours are you choosing to nurture more deeply?

You, my darling, are the only one, who can channel your own dreams and visions.
The only one who can draw them down from the unseen world
and shape them here, in the physical world, as something tangible to be shared.

However, your soul may be infinite, but your physical body is not, nor the hours in your day. You simply can not give birth to every dream and vision (at least not all at once).

So choose with tenderness and wisdom, that which truly calls to you now. The dream or vision worthy of your precious time and life force.

And when doubt begins to creep in, remember that your particular vision
can only ever be channelled through you.

Did you know that I offer individual online sessions (in English or Swedish)?

Most often these centre around preparing for birth, postpartum planning, or birth story integration — finding deeper meaning, understanding, and purpose through your birth story.

However, I also support women in exploring and planning personalised rituals and meaningful ceremonies around important thresholds.
Lately these have been about honouring a miscarriage, planning a first-birthday ceremony, creating a weaning ritual, and today’s call was about marking a son turning seven years old.

If you long for support in this way, or feel called to know more, just send me a message ✨️

"Women, when you feel another women trembling, see her hands start to sweat...
⁠
women, when you sense another woman approaching the edge of just the "right-kind-of-madness," gearing up to say or do something that could change her life forever—and maybe even ripple back in time, healing generations of women before her...
⁠
women, when you see that look in her eyes, and she swallows hard—the moment when she digs, one more time. ⁠
⁠
Digs. way. down. deep inside, reaching some primal reserve of wild courage she didn't yet know was there . . . and you are there when she ACTS on that wild courage, by speaking her truth. ⁠
⁠
Women. when you have the great blessing of witnessing another woman going out on that scary limb, taking the kind of risk she might have been trying to find the courage to take her whole like, knowing in that moment, she moved against, and overcame, the weight and momentum of over 2,000 years of reasons why she shouldn't open her mouth. ⁠
⁠
Ladies, women, sisters, witches, crones. Yes. I'm talking to you. For Goddess' sake, back her...
⁠..be her second dancer. Stand behind, or beside her, or wherever you can get your feet under you in that moment. It may be awkward and it most certainly will be uncomfortable, both for her and for you. You might trip over yourself doing it. ⁠
⁠
But please. Stand anyway. It will always be worth it. Even when we were burned. It was still worth it. ⁠
⁠

How do you keep track of where you are in your cycle?

Over the years I’ve tried different ways; I’ve had a special journal and made notes on my phone, but I wanted something more visual and tangible. And lately, with my oldest daughter showing much more curiosity around my bleed, I also wanted a way to bring her into this rhythm, perhaps even something she can one day use herself when her own time comes.
So, with this impulse, I created this little 'bowl' of clay, with the bright red pau-brasil seeds that I adore so much. Each day, I move one seed from one side to the other to mark the passing of time. When I bleed, I place one per day into the small indentations to mark the passing of my flow. A small, simple, daily gesture that anchors me into an awareness of my cycle.
