They’re all key elements of our humanity, collectively and individually. But we don’t talk about them. At least not in ways that matter.

Sex, Birth, & Trauma is your invitation to join this conversation at a deeper level as we ask the big questions about how we can be more human, and more humane in our relationships, and reconnect with our primal wildness.
