imagine a world
How to disconnect a woman from her power?
Teach her to shame the places her power resides; menstruation, orgasm, childbirth, menopause.

I imagine a world where girls are taught about the intricate wisdom of in their cycle.
A world where girls, and boys, are taught to honour and respect these cycles as the source of all life.
I imagine a world where women know their right to pleasure. Confident in expressing their needs- without fear of being shamed for it.
A world where all men are as focused on Her pleasure as he is on his own.
I imagine a world where women trust in their ability to birth and create life.
A time when birth is woman-centred; and not put into the hands of a patriarchal system.
A world where birth happens in a similar environment to that which created the baby; not in a bright hospital room strapped to a bed.
A world that knows babies are Birthed, and not delivered.
I imagine a world where women experience menopause as an empowering and transformational event.
A world that understands the devastating consequences of unnecessary hysterectomies (that is most of them!).
A world and a people that values time,
that values wisdom,
and where the word “anti-aging” is gone from our vocabulary- because aging is beautiful-
and we understand it is a privilege to grow older.
I imagine a world that
honours women;
the mothers,
the daughters,
the sisters,
The elders,
The wisdom keepers,
The great mother of all.
