becoming mother.

prologue.

There was a time when we had the ability to gain wisdom and healing through movement, writing and song. These were our rituals; once celebrated, once honored.

Gathered in sacred sisterhood,
our ancient mothers shared stories
within the sanctuaries of the heart
and mysteries of the womb.
/
In each whispered word,
we inherited the teachings
of our one and great cosmic mother;
and what it means to be a womb-man,
placed between the Earth and sky.
/
Deeply attuned to our divine cycles,
we honored the same rhythms that govern
both creation and destruction,
gathering as we bled and are born anew.
/
As we learned to harness
the ebb and flow of our existence,
we celebrated the path of being and becoming;
an eternal song shared with the cosmos.
/
Wisdom became a woman’s intuition—
they are seeds passed down from
Mother to her daughters of the Earth.
/
It is our work now, to remember.

love, emyli.

The Root of Ritual.

The word ‘ritual’ comes from the Sanskrit word: rtu, literally meaning menstrual blood. The ancients have been using our womb blood....

Many women experience miscarriages, yet this topic remains largely unspoken, leaving many to navigate their grief in solitude. As women, we have been conditioned to normalize and minimize our suffering. It is has become a burden that we carry alone, often silently, within our grieving bodies.

Writing and movement are the first known expressions known to man. One could say it is our native language, no matter who we are or where we come from in the world.
 
There was a time when we had the ability to gain wisdom and healing as we tended to our hearts in movement, writing and song. These were our rituals, once celebrated, once honored. This deep knowledge is inherent within us all, like the ancient roots of a tree, grounding us to the Earth. 
 
Write & Move to Heal is a creative space to help you tune into your own inner landscape through the power of prompt and mindful movement. Reconnecting to our wild and native roots, we discover our true self, our vision, our dreams, our passion and purpose. 
 
Together, we feel to heal. 
When we heal ourselves, our stories can heal the world.
