From Womb to World
This course takes you into the sacred birthing practices of the Kogi people, guided by midwives Marnacia and Antoño. You’ll learn how birth is more than a physical process: it’s a deeply spiritual act involving the placenta, umbilical cord, sacred sites, and ancestral rituals. Discover why the Kogi never cut the umbilical cord, how they use hot water in sacred ways, and how they restore lost birth energies through ceremony. These lessons offer a rare glimpse into how birth can be honored as a sacred return to the origin of life.
