Episode 20
Earth, Womb + Seed Connection
hosted by clinical herbalist & integrative health educator Kay'aleya Hunnybee
Your womb gives you access to a deep-seated knowing, is a source of your generative creativity, and connects you to your ancestral lineage.
In times that feel tumultuous, confusing, and sometimes even hopeless, it can sometimes feel challenging to know how to hold it all or how to process the emotions flowing through us.
I invite you to explore how your relationship with the earth, the plants and the seeds can inform your relationship with your own womb.
And how that might help you to find meaning and connection, even when things feel hard.
The stories we tell have a deep impact on how we see the world, and what we believe is possible.
This episode is an offering of stories that showcase the immense power inherent in our wombs and the seeds.
Listen to the episode to learn:
- how your relationship with your womb can be deepened by your relationship with the earth around you (and vice versa)
- how disconnection from the earth may be a cause of 'disease'
- what cesarean rates in the US might have to do with connection to nature

- what I mean when I say 'seeds are wombs of the earth'
