Birth is a path of love. A path we walk for something much greater than ourselves. It is a ceremonial space that we all enter with joy, passion, beautiful grief, and a deep respect all at once. For many of us, it’s the most difficult work of our lives and the most rewarding. We walk into the usual and the unknown together and back again.
The labyrinth is a holistic model of birth taught to me by Pam England, author of Birthing from Within. The labyrinth has one path in and one path out with twists and turns and potentially even gates of doubt and unknowing. There are vulnerable places. It is in the middle of this labyrinth where one births and truly transforms. What might just take just an average of 24 hours to arrive in the middle through labor will then take 2-3 years to exit in the postpartum period.
