FATE OF EARTH – FATE OF BIRTH

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

“FATE OF EARTH – FATE OF BIRTH” explores our culture’s dependence on technology, not only do we trust machines more than nature and our capabilities, but we also use machines to shield us from natural passages of life such as birth and death. A family centered birth experience at home seems to benefit the newborn and reinforces the natural mother-child bond. Since our cultural rituals reflect and shape our cultural values, changing our childbirth rituals to celebrate nature could enhance our valuing of the Earth.

    I am the midwife in the beginning of this video, Candace Whitridge, and my concerns back in 1993 when this interview was done are proving prophetic. The inherent wisdom that women have to push life out of their bodies is slowly going into a disconnect mode, as it becomes more difficult to find caregivers who believe in this wisdom. This mini documentary addresses this fundamental truth, and encourages the empowerment of women to “remember before they forget”. Well done.

    This is absoluteyl the truth! We women must wake up and see reality for what it is. The hospital has created an illusion of safety and health for us and our babies.
