030: Birth and Death W/ Jordan

Birth and Death are two shared experiences that connect every human being. In many ways, in western culture, we have removed the sacredness and wisdom from these two experiences as we have have sterilized the environments that they take place in, and we continually neglect welcoming them into our every day. When we expand our awareness and definitions of what birth and death are, we see that they occur from moment to moment every day. As one moment dies, another is born, as a tree is burnt down in the forest, it gives birth to fertile soil and new vegetation. These experience are two sides of the same coin, the coin of life. This week Jordan and I go into the depths as we explore the benefit and value of creating conversations around these ideas. Jordan shares her experiences working in prisons, and the effects of death that surrounds the life of an inmate, as well as her experiences in the delivery room as she explores the role of a "Birthing Dula" or a supportive and energetic guide to assist a smooth and enlightening transition for a mother, or family in the birthing process. This was a true treat to have such a beautiful discussion and I look forward to sharing it with all of you listeners! Sending love and light to all, and may you have a peaceful birth and death of today, of this moment, and of your life.
