Annie's Vision

Imagine carrying, birthing and getting to know your baby in the presence of reverence and recognition: for all that you are, all that is close to your heart, and everything contained within the passage you are undergoing.
A couple stands smiling with their eyes closed and foreheads touching, one person with their hands on the other's pregnant belly. Both have light skin and dark hair; one has a buzz cut; the other has mid-length waves cascading over their shoulders.
A person with medium-dark skin and dark hair pulled back leans back in a birthing tub with a joyous expression on their face. Their hands, together with another pair of hands place a crying newborn on their chest.

Imagine heartwarming memories to sustain you and your family. Of deep connection. Presence. Homecoming. Witnessing and celebration as you choose, with confidence, what's kind to you each step of the way, knowing that your decisions will tend the blossom of every life intertwined with yours. 

Imagine opening in safety and delight: not only to bring your baby through, but also to enter into communion with all that you love, and with the natural world reflected in your body's intelligence; to encounter within you a power belonging to life itself -- raw, erotic and sensual -- to which you can return anytime and anywhere.
 
A birther sits cross-legged on the ground amid a field of golden grass, cradling her pregnant belly. Their focus seems to be directed deeply inward -- it is possible that they are meditating, or experiencing a contraction. Their expression is one of bliss.
A person cries and smiles in a birthing tub, holding their newborn baby to their chest as another individual, appearing ecstatic, lays a hand on their shoulder.
Imagine a prenatal, birthing and postpartum environment that reflects the kind of world into which you dream of welcoming your baby -- and that welcomes you to the world anew. 

Yes, you can get there from here.

"Having experienced the fullness of this depth of feeling and recognizing its power, in honor and selfrespect we can require no less of ourselves."

“I find the erotic such a kernel within myself. When released... it flows through and colors my life with a kind of energy that heightens and sensitizes and strengthens all my experience.”

-- Audre Lorde, The Uses Of The Erotic
