Womb Sovereignty: Fertility Awareness & Herbal Contraception

About the Class:

Womb bearers have been in tune with their fertility cycles since time immemorial.  It is innate to animal nature and is our birthright to intimately know.  This ancestral wisdom has been taken from us to keep us detached from knowing our bodies, being empowered, and honoring the deep portals of life and death that we are.  Come learn the basics of fertility awareness method and learn how to recognize when you are in your fertile window versus when you are not. We will also meet a variety of plant allies in our toolkit to create a well supported natural path to avoiding pregnancy.
