EPISODE 172, The Birthkeeper of Bethlehem with Bridget Supple

You will love my chat with Bridget Supple, an antenatal educator of over 20 years and the author of The Birthkeeper of Bethlehem!

Bridget shares openly and vulnerably about the traumatic birth experience she had with her first child and how that eventually led to her becoming an antenatal teacher.
She emphasises the sacredness and initiatory power of birth, points out that women have, to a large extent, been stripped off their power when it comes to the birthing experience, and introduces her recently published book; the paradigm-shifting Birthkeeper of Bethlehem, which shares the story of Salome, Mary' midwife and describes the powerful, rich rituals and rites associated with birth - including the post-natal time - that have been largely forgotten. And much, much more! Enjoy!
