Reclaiming The Wild Feminine: An Intimate Conversation with Siann Marie Pilkington
In this empowering episode, Lisa Dawn introduces Sian Marie Pilkington, a radical birth guide, mother of four, and scholar of the sacred.
Join them as they dive deep into Sian's journey from traditional doula to a transformative figure in the birthing community, her unique sensory awareness in birth, and her radical perspectives on motherhood, sexuality, and communal care.
They explore themes of primal knowing, the raw beauty of birth and life, the journey of queer identity, and the revolutionary idea of 'motherarchy,' a reclamation of matriarchy and communal support.
This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of love, liberation, and the vital importance of connections and presence in our lives.
