Welcome to BĒNA, (meaning WOMAN in the ancestral mother tongue language of Proto-Celtic) Here, we strip back the dogma - the binary ways of thinking and instead have raw, real + unfiltered conversations about the magic + mystery of womanhood and ALL that it entails. The hard, the funny, the ridiculous, the taboo. Within our culture story sharing is a lost medicine and this podcast is calling it back in, back home and into the hands of Bēna. As we have done since the beginning of time: Let us sit round the ‘fire’ to share as we become the weavers of the new story, not only for us but for our grandchildren + the mothers to come.

    004 | The Old Mothers, Their Magic, Sprit Babies + Death as a Remembering with Perdita Finn

    Death must included in the conversation of birth. There is not one without the other. Today we explore our connection with the dead, how as mothers who’ve lost babies, we can begin to connect with them beyond the veil and also mother allows from all different spaces, places + species. We explore how we as women can begin to tune back into the ancestral wisdom readily available to us and begin to not only connect with but work with the support and holding from those who’ve departed this earth. Enjoy every minute. Find me on IG: @becoakaiah Www.rebeccaoakaiah.com My mentorship details for VESSEL are available on there and soon opening up for Earlybird sale.

    009 | Dancing with the Divine with Farah Rising

    Farah Orths (Rising) & I delve into the juicy topic of dance and how it is a reflection of our journey through life and how it is interconnected with birth. Dance is so deeply intertwined with the ebbs and flows of life and of birth and Farah bring such wisdom and medicine into this podcast. We talk of the freedom and healing which is held on the other side of embodiment and Farah unearths the myths about dance and what we’ve been taught in our society. We speak about how dance can be deeply healing and moving and how it connects us deeply to the divine within, releasing trauma and ancestral stories. We share our own experiences and advice on how you can start to bring dance into your own journey for healing & growth.  IG @farahrising Link to The Temple of Dance https://www.canva.com/design/DAEc5C0Km_E/QngR_tsu2Na8E2EWnVG8MQ/view?website#2:pleasure You can find me on @becwallisbirthkeeper
