Birthing the Mother is a program for those who want to

birth more of themselves,

by embodying more of their feminine power. 

​

​Participants do not need to be a mother or have female reproductive organs to do the work. Run by Founder & Artistic Director, Nel Da Silva, Birthing the Mother provides the Willing Ones a safe space for holistic inquiry into their bodies to create artistic expression. Birthing The Mother accesses the matrilineage and develops a person’s Mother archetype through narrative therapy. The participants work in a group, online and in person and have one-on-one sessions with Nel during the program. The program runs for six weeks and uses the analogy of birth for the process. 

 

 

A Birthing The Mother Program: 

​

Week 1   - Opening 

 

Week 2   - Conception

 

Week 3 - Gestation

 

Week 4   - Birth (the Showcase)

 

Week 5   - Post-partum

 

Week 6   - Mother's Milk

​

​

At week 4 of the program a Showcase is held, that is open to the general 18+ public. These Showcases feature the Willing Ones who offer stories, art and radical truths accessed from their bodies, where they connect to the feminine within them (often the reproductive area). BTM work taps into a person's heritage. It clears ancestral baggage and re-establishes healthy boundaries for a person to be completely present in their body. BTM work also detoxes a person's physical reproductive area through gentle healing practices.

 

BTM Showcases are raw, irreverent, confronting, beautiful, wild, funny, messy, experimental, gentle, abstract, musical, poetic, unpredictable & interactive. BTM Willing Ones speak from the inside out. Showcases are profound, unique, mysterious and humbling to bear witness to. Audiences, or what we refer to as the Willing Witnesses describe a BTM Showcase as profoundly healing for them by simply being present. The general public (18+) are invited to bare witness to the Showcases. The brave and beauty full witnesses present are truly deepened by the experience.
