...passing on the knowledge of our female cycle...
It might seem complicated at first but once innerstood
there's a simplicity to it.
NATURE'S BLUEPRINT
Knowing our cycle we can selbstbestimmt* do:
*the German word for self-determined that [at least to me] does it better justice
THE CYCLE
~ the rhythm ~
bleeding, ovulation, premenstrual
FERTILITY
avoiding or aiming to get pregnant
CONCEPTION
PREGNANCY
DUE DATE
(FREE) BIRTH
POSTPARTUM * MOTHERHOOD
MENOPAUSE
and
BEYOND
***
For me a lot of things started with
contraception.
I have never taken the pill early on learning about natural contraception as in »simply« knowing how the cycle works and making choices accordingly.
That has become the foundation for my life as a woman as much as in general.
*
Then I found out about (paramana) doulas getting to meet Ina May Gaskin and Michel Odent
which opened the realm of
pregnancy & birth in the way I was searching for so long.
To me having a baby is a process well thought through by powers far greater than human.
It doesn't mean without challenges but they are opportunities that let us grow beyond we ever imagined possible if we are open and (free) willing to face them.

A few years ago I crossed paths with a midwife who also talks about
abortion.
She calls it full spectrum midwifery care as she includes the taboo topics of pregnancy loss and release in her teachings.
(W)HOLE/ISTIC
Whole as in holistic
In regards to our female topics to me (w)hole/istic at its core means
contraception or better fertility (ie knowing how the cycle works)
pregnancy-birth-postpartum
and abortion
...but of course so much more.
