Welcome to Wombs of the Empire
Fibroids, painful and irregular periods, and the inability to enjoy intimacy and form long-lasting and balanced relationships can be all traced back to WOMB TRAUMA.
Getting to the bottom of the pain in our body requires that we understand the history of our ancestors’ bodies. In our upcoming 3-part live webinar series, we are here to lay it all out and share with you what you can do to reverse and repair the damage caused by colonization.
The Ancestor Project and Mama de la Myco are grateful to share with you: Wombs of the Empire, an in-depth, pleasure focused class to liberate our wombs.
We will explore the history of womb suppression, so we can understand the forces at play when beginning our womb liberation journey. We will focus on earth based practices to balance our cycle, be in relationship with the pleasure of ovulation and work with our menstrual blood to increase our magical powers.
In these modules, you’ll receive hands on skills, recipes and practices that you can apply immediately to deepen your relationship with the magic that is your womb.
