This course will examine the notion of motherhood in our yogic tradition, and how it applies to modern, liberatory circumstances. We will also explore how to create a community of care and support that allows us to thrive. This is not the meaning of the esoteric powers possessed by yogis, seers, or rishis. I am using the term "siddhi" deliberately to refer to a feminine aspect within every mother that can harness healing forces. The colonial period saw western medicine rise up to claim hierarchical power and control over our bodies, and our lives. This led in part to the loss many sacred qualities of motherhood and femininity, as well as our traditional healing skills.
