(Check out the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Rooted Woman Botanicals Shop) This is a special woman - Zuri, powerfully referring to herself as Dragon Mother - who walks the talk and is committed to the path of re-villaging. She shares in this episode about what it looks like for her and what she is building (inspiring ideas for bringing into your own communities). She also shares her way of conscious, respectful parenting and encouraging healthy sibling dynamics. We talk about:

• Stepping away from attending births as a young mother, the internal conflict and incompatibility, and where she's focusing her energies on these days
• Village prenatal and postpartum, and community seasonal events that she is facilitating
• How she calls in reciprocal community energy in these offerings
• How she is creating community seasonal gatherings that fulfill her vision for the "living dream of the earth", that center mothers and children, and ideas for you to bring to your community as well
• Cultivating gatherings that aren't just child-centered or adult-centered
• The primal need and fulfillment of being in a space of community and ritual
• Centering the family unit in our culture: mothers, fathers, and children
• Difference between women's and men's circles/spaces
• Her path and paradigm with parenting and navigating emotions, conflict in sibling dynamics, helping her children develop conflict resolution skills
• Trusting and respecting our children as intelligent beings

Zuri Snow is a free-schooling, free-birthing mother and community organizer living in Georgia. She is passionate about rites of passage, earth wisdom, respectful parenting, undisturbed childbirth, and cultivating compassionate community. Her background is steeped in temple priestess arts and holistic midwifery, though she is currently steeped in the medicine of her role as an intentional mother, wife, neighbor, and friend as she prepares for the birth of her third child. Through her occasional ceremonial and educational offerings, women’s circles, postpartum support network, and family-centered seasonal gatherings, she works passionately to create a sense of re-villaging in her local community as an embodied prayer for the unfolding of the Earth’s Living Dream. You can connect with Zuri more via instagram @mamabearth , email zuri@mamabearth.com , or her website www.mamabearth.com where she occasionally hosts ceremonial and educational offerings virtually and local to Georgia.
