Parthenogenesis

Fannie Sosa about parthenogenesis:

many non western cosmologies have female deities self impregnating to create the universe, as opposed to a single male fathergod who orders «the light to separate from the darkness» and creates the universe in a working week.
parthenogenesis has also been a mythical tale in many founding texts, where «virgins» would be kown to self impregnate after very complex meditations that lasted years, and carry very special children: one of the best known examples of this is the «inmaculate conception» supposedly undergone by mary.
science is little by little catching up with non-western mythologies.

…and the Daily Telegraph. Talking about the possibility of two women having a biological child.…

Cambio de continente

Ilustración de El Cometa Ludo, como parte del proyecto Manual introductorio a la Ginecología Natural, + info aquí.

Me voy a Vancouver 6 meses. Mi intención es acabar el libro de las Maternidades Subversivas allí. Tengo ya hechas un montón de entrevistas maravillosas a mujeres preciosas y sobre todo muy generosas por compartir sus experiencias conmigo.

Me faltan las de maternidad transexual e intersexualidad, y espero poder hacerlas en este continente nuevo en el que viviré durante medio año. Me faltan también las de maternidad postpornográfica y partenogénesis, que espero poder hacer en San Francisco.

En fin, que cambio de continente pero el proyecto sigue adelante con mucha fuerza.…

Lo quiero YA

Necesitamos iniciativas como esta. Necesitamos manuales como este. Puedes conseguir tu ejemplar participando en el Verkami, aquí. El libro con envío internacional cuesta solo 20 euros. Es una maravilla.

Nuestros úteros, en manos del patriarcado y de la ciencia, han sido material de experimentación por siglos. Llenas de dudas, temores e inseguridades, las mujeres hemos confiado toda nuestra autonomía y sabiduría a la especialidad médica ginecológica, debido al desconocimiento sistematizado y la creencia general de que no sabemos nada sobre nosotras mismas.

¡Ya no podemos seguir creyendo el mismo cuento!

Las mujeres, cuando nos adentramos en el autoconocimiento, descubrimos un maravilloso mundo. Nos sumergimos en nuestra sabiduría y adquirimos autonomía en nuestra propia salud. Vamos compartiendo con amigas, vamos emanando saberes y conexiones profundas, vamos comprendiendo muchos procesos y también misterios de la naturaleza que, al no visualizarse ni comprenderse, suelen ser patologizados por la medicina oficial.

EXPOSE: SHEDDING LIGHT ON COLLECTIVE BEAUTY

Tell me something.

When was the last time you opened up your browser and saw a beautiful image of a body shape that looked just like yours?

When was the last time you saw an image of skin markings that looked just like yours?

When was the last time you saw an image of breasts that looked just like yours? An ass that looked just like yours? Scars that looked just like yours? A belly that looked just like yours?

Unless you’re a celebrity look alike and have real time Photoshop (like, a program that follows and moves with you) I’m going to guess that for the majority of us… it’s been a while. It’s been a while since we’ve (or maybe we’ve never) seen our body positively represented within that overwhelming flood of images that fills our social media feeds, televisions, and magazines.

I think it’s time to change that.

Guerrilla Midwife

Guerrilla Midwife Movie Trailer from Déjà Cresencia Bernhardt on Vimeo.

In every country on this planet, there is a WAR being fought to gain an asset more precious than gold or oil. The battlefield is a woman’s body when she is most vulnerable and in need of protection… when she is giving BIRTH. In this war we stand to loose our humanity. At this pivotal moment of life individuals develop either an intact or impaired capacity to love. Protecting our capacity to love is essential to saving our planet. The over-use of technology during birth has disempowered women, harmed the bonding process between mother and child, sabotaging breast-feeding and our essential human right to peace. At the heart of this war, perpetuated by the agendas of big business and by our misunderstanding of the physiology of birth, we find the guardian of natural childbirth – the midwife.
Along the fragrant streets of Bali and desolate Acehnese refugee camps of the Indonesian Archipelago, Guerrilla Midwife Ibu Robin Lim finds herself in the ring of fire, where the midwifery model of care is put to the test, at the epicenter of the turmoil following the December 2004 Tsunami. In this culturally mesmerizing, heart-wrenching documentary, you will discover why we must reinvent our protocols for pregnancy and childbirth. This is the burden and the gift of the Guerrilla Midwife.
“Healing the Earth, one baby at a time.” ~ Robin Lim
