We’re preparing to welcome a new-ancient little being into this world. Our path into parenthood is intertwined with our commitments to earth, ancestors, and the cosmologies that remind us we are never separate from the soil.
Birthing in modernity is not simple. Birth is political, ecological and ancestral work. It has become normalised to experience families as an isolated nucleus or the single-hood of parenting, when rather we are patterned for collective care.
We desire to approach this pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting process with slowness, a circle of kinship, and practices that honour the ways of collective midwifing.
This is a call to activate relational tending that helps a new family constellation root into this threshold with tender holding and radical care.
We’re asking for help so we can align this birth with the values many of us share: collective care, earth aligned rhythms, and remembering that life thrives in relationship, not isolation.
If you feel called to offer to this constellation: financially, energetically, ritually, physically, or simply by holding us in your heart, we receive it with gratitude. No contribution is too small.
We intend to create a culture of collective midwifing and you are invited to be part of this ecology of birthing.
Our union began in a gathering formed by reimagining what worlds we can create; through relational kinship, animistic sensibility, and earth-centric ways of living.
Three years ago, in a Reworlding Fellowship at Brave Earth in Costa Rica, our connection started as an inquiry: Can we meet in a space where things are tender and uncertain?
Over time that resonance ripened like an estuary, a widening way of water. Our inner work, ancestors, dreams, and commitments meet a shared horizon. Our relating is a place to explore what re-worlding feels like in our bodies, the magic of the mundane, and the many worlds we move through as we deepen in union with one another and community.
Many moons ago, during a re-worlding gathering at Hokuoa: Temple of Beloved Futures in Hawaii, we each received a message through our dreams, the spirit of a child. A whisper asking whether we were ready to birth new-ancient life through our divine union.
Since then, Chévanni travelled across two oceans from South Africa to South East Asia to meet Chloe to bridge longing, deepen in shared practice, and to create a new constellation which is now emerging and expanding.
We tend to our confluence as praxis of radical love, politics of care, fertile terrain, playful curiosity, and relational depth; in this life, and in the generations before and after.

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy is a method of gently realigning the body’s dynamics to release tension, restore balance, and support holistic healing from chronic pain, stress, and emotional volatility.
Biodynamic Somatic Therapy (BST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural rhythms to reorganise from misaligned or overworked states into more fluid, available, and spacious states of internal harmony.
Rooted in Craniosacral dynamics, BST focuses on the spine—the core of the central nervous system—helping to address chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and the lingering effects of trauma.
