Mother
GUARDIAN OF LIFE & DEATH
A 4 WEEK CEREMONIAL JOURNEY TO HEAL AND INTEGRATE AFTER ABORTION OR PREGNANCY RELEASE
JULY 1 - JULY 27, 2025
FOR THE WOMAN WHO KNOWS
what it's like to traverse the threshold of birth and death within her own body.
Every pregnancy - no matter how long it lasts -
ends in a birth.
​
Even if that birth is quiet. Or invisible to the outside world. Or chosen because in saying “no”, we are saying “yes” to something else.
​
Too long these birth stories have stayed in the shadows
and these expressions of Mother have gone unrecognized in their full nuance, complexity and truth.​​
Pregnancy release is an initiation into the unseen expressions of Mother that so often live in the dark.
Here, we integrate these different faces of Mother and emerge into the Woman can walk with it all.
I was initiated into Mother
when I got pregnant and then chose a release in December 2021.
I grappled with seemingly opposing truths.
A primal desire to nurture life coursed through me -
yet I instinctively and unwaveringly knew my answer was ‘no’ at that time.
​
There was a Mother template that came online within me.
​
To embody Mother is to hold paradox —
to know that Life and Death are forever intertwined,
and that our wombs are portals for both.​
​
It is to walk in reverent relationship with this sacred response-ability we've always held as women.​​​​
Knowing that Mother is not always the one who continues with life,
but is the one who makes the choice from a place of truth and full presence...
the one who doesn’t look away,
but rather has the capacity to stay with it all.
TOGETHER, WE WILL JOURNEY THROUGH OUR WOMBS TO MEET OUR OWN EXPRESSION OF MOTHER
The Journey
WEEK 1
OPENING CEREMONY & MEETING THE MOTHER
A ceremonial opening to land into the space together and begin tending the threads of our story. We will dive into how the “Mother template" - the hormonal, neurological and energetic shifts that begin to happen the moment a woman becomes pregnant - even if she is pregnant only for a few weeks.
We will honor the unique ways each of us met Mother and felt this template coming online during our own experiences of pregnancy.
​TUESDAY JULY 1
6-8 pm Central Time
WEEK 2
INITIATION INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DARK MOTHER ARCHETYPE
Here, we meet the part of Mother often left in the shadows — the one who holds Death. The one who chose release. The one who followed her No in service to her greater Yes. We will explore our collective and individual relationship with the Dark Mother archetype and feel our way through the into our own unique relationship with her. We reweave and gently reclaim our relationship with the power to steward Death.
​TUESDAY JULY 8
6-8 pm Central Time
WEEK 3
SOMATIC STORYTELLING & WOMB-VOICE ALCHEMY
Through movement, sound, and somatic dialogue, we open and rewild the channel between womb and voice. Here we tell the story from our experience that is living within the womb and body — allowing the deeper truth of the somatic story to emerge. We give voice to what has lived in the unseen and move it up and out through the body - bathing in the power and frequency of our womb-voice and inviting an alchemical shift to any stuck parts of self.
​TUESDAY JULY 15
6-8 pm Central Time
WEEK 4
INTEGRATING THE EXPRESSION OF MOTHER YOU'RE EMERGING INTO ON THE OTHER SIDE
In this final ceremony together, we gather all the threads we’ve touched on and begin weaving them into the integrated expression of Mother and next threshold of Womanhood you are being called to step into.​​ How are you invited to show up as Mother — in stewarding your fertility, your relationship with self, your home, community, work, or union? Here, we will anchor into the woman you’ve been asked to become on the other side of this experience and emerge deeply rooted, embodied and resourced in your current expression of Mother.
​TUESDAY JULY 22
6-8 pm Central Time

PRIVATE, ENCRYPTED GROUP CHAT SPACE

HERE WE MOVE, SING, AND BREATHE WITH THE STORIES THAT HAVE SHAPED US IN WAYS THE WORLD MAY NEVER FULLY SEE.
This moment was a threshold in your womb and your Womanhood.
And no matter how long ago it happened or how many times you've sat with it, it continues to invite you deeper.
When we intentionally touch back into this portal moment - we are immersed once again in the medicine it has to offer for this moment of our lives.
When we journey in this way — individually and collectively — we open up a space that exists beyond linear time and place.
A sacred field of remembrance and becoming.
The womb knows no linear time.
Where we
bless the woman we were,
soften into the woman we are,
and mother ourselves into the woman we are becoming.
When we journey in this way — individually and collectively — we open up a space that exists beyond linear time and place.
ALL VERSIONS OF OURSELVES CONVERGE HERE.
Because the moment of release was not the end.
It was a holy opening — a crossing into the next stage of your Becoming.
MOTHER is your space of integration
to re-member all parts of you into your innate wholeness.
the place for you to be held in the Becoming of the Woman this experience has been calling you into.
WELCOME.

Hi love, I'm Elizabeth.
I walk with women as a Womb Guide and Integrative Pelvic Health practitioner, supporting them to come home to their wombs — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — so they can live anchored in their deepest truth and expression.
I created MOTHER: Guardian of Life & Death because I believe this threshold — the one we walk through in pregnancy release — is one of the most sacred, and yet one of the most unspoken.
In 2021, I experienced my own abortion — a choice that brought me to reckoning with the depths of my being and truth. Nothing could have prepared me for how deeply it would change me. The grief. The sensations. The seeming paradox of feeling such deep honor for the Life that was growing within me, yet the profound clear knowing that my answer was still "No". Through my experience of pregnancy and release, I felt my body crack open to something visceral and instinctual.
That birth forever shaped me and sent me on an initiation into the Woman I am now. I was shown a face of the Mother that lives in the shadows. The one who knows how to be in reverent responsibility with the power in her womb. To be a sovereign steward Life as well as Death. To be able to hold the paradox and stay in her truth. I realized how few spaces actually hold the level of nuance and depth of feeling needed for these experiences of 'Mother' and release to be held and witnessed in their full expression.
In a time where this topic has become so polarized — neither 'side' fully capturing the full truth and complexity of the decision and experience — my hope is that this ceremony offers you a sanctuary to land, give voice to the truth within your womb, and honor the ways this journey has shaped you into the woman you have become.
May we shine a gentle, loving light on these aspects and experiences of Mother that too often stay within the dark...
...and in doing so, become more of who we truly are.
