Return to the Great Mother 1. udgave

Return to the Great Mother will help mothers-to-be, their partners, and birth professionals rediscover the Great Mother: the transformative feminine energy at the heart of the birthing process. The book touches on some of the factors that have led people to become disconnected from this power. It also offers the perspective of birth as an initiation and the heal ing implications of this view. Dozens of women's stories are presented here. These accounts describe how women reconnected with the Great Mother, and how this has affected their experience of giving birth and changed them as women, mothers, and healers.
