I made a commitment to lean more into the annual seasons this year, so as part of that, I’ve invited experts in the field of cyclical living to share the meaning, practices and support that the seasonal festivals can bring.

 Today it’s all about Beltane, the 1st of May, and Sophie Messager is here to tell us all about it. Sophie has a doctorate in reproductive physiology, and she left her microscope behind to explore traditional healing wisdom after discovering the transformative power of an empowered birth. Her journey, enriched by over a decade of experience as a doula, perinatal educator, and facilitator of holistic professional workshops, has led her to a profound understanding of the rhythms that accompany women’s life transitions. We talk about:

  • What Beltane is and how we can tap into its lush fertility
  • How can this celebration connect us to the earth and ourselves
  • Sophie's journey from Catholicism to Earth-based spirituality
  • Ideas for simple rituals for Beltane anyone can follow
  • Embracing loss of fertility
  • The power of the drum to alter consciousness

and much more!
