Honoring the Womb: Wisdom from Casa Curativa

I recently attended a transformative course at Casa Curativa, where we dove deep into the magic and wisdom of the female body, centering the womb as a sacred powerhouse. ❤️‍🔥

It was a weekend of raw truths, courageous conversations, and invaluable knowledge every woman deserves access to.

As I prepare to welcome a soul patiently awaiting their time, I’m embracing the profound importance of preconception work and honoring the womb as a space of power and creation. 🌱

Here’s the wisdom I’m walking away with:

💃 Our Bodies, Our Power: Women’s bodies are still being controlled in countless ways. Educating ourselves about our cycles and our womb-wellness is essential to reclaim sovereignty and embody our full power.

🍲 Nourishment > Heroic Fixes: True healing isn’t about battling symptoms or constant detoxing. As a species, we are deeply mineral deficient. The real medicine lies in rebuilding and nourishing—understanding that healing is nonlinear and mysterious.

🥤 The Green Juice Trap: Extreme trends like green juice diets are depleting women, robbing us of our ability to create and embody our fullest selves.

🌀A Soft Belly is a Wise Woman: Holding in our bellies disconnects us from breath, intuition, & inner wisdom. A soft belly is not a flaw-it’s a gateway to wisdom & sacred guidance reconnecting us to our truth. 

🦴Bone Broth Saves Lives: Enough said. Truly, the nourishment it provides is foundational.

🌺 Plants Over Pharma: Herbs and plants have supported women through every stage of life for millennia. Their potency and wisdom far surpass synthetic alternatives when it comes to vitality and alignment.

🤰 Birthing Sovereignty: After this retreat, I am ecstatic about the possibility of one day birthing at home. While hospitals are vital for acute situations, the time is NOW to reclaim birth as a sacred, intimate portal held in spaces that honor connection and tenderness.

🕺 Men as Allies: Men’s involvement in preconception, birth, and postpartum is critical. A society that supports mothers and children is a society built on true sustainability and care.

🫂Local > Viral: If your local environment is thriving, there’s no need to chase the global spotlight. Families and mothers need strong communities now more than ever. (More reflections on this to come!)

This retreat reminded me of the immense power, complexity, and beauty of the feminine, the wisdom of plants, and the magic of small, intimate groups. I’m stepping away feeling deeply connected, inspired, and committed to honoring this wisdom in every aspect of my life.

A heartfelt bow to Julia of @casacurativa, @lindsay.chestnut, and Ashley of Root To Rise for sitting and listening at the feet of the crone wisdom holders and keeping this wisdom alive. 👣 Your work is deeply needed.

Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with you. May we all honor the sacred feminine within ourselves and the world around us.

In Presence,

Liz

P.S. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these reflections.

Musings

Grief tells me how we avoid her, 

An over culture malnourished from her potency, drunk on light. 

Yet, she wishes to birth us,

To lay her wisdom upon our hearts and crack them wide open to the wild edge of sorrow. 

In Grief’s arms, we find our isolation to be an invitation to the universal embrace of our home.

Our communal tears making love into a wide river that we will one day cross to find our souls unfolding. 

May We Grieve .
