TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
Conception, pregnancy, and birth are biological events—but can they also be understood as relational, cultural, and spiritual passages?
Victoria Rose, founder and director of Luminous Birth, and Stuart Sovatsky, PhD, author and longtime psychotherapist, join Michael for a trialogue about fertility, family life, consciousness, and the way we welcome new life.
Victoria discusses her work supporting individuals and couples from preconception through birth, with attention to reverence, parental relationship, the role of fathers, and the experience of the baby. Stuart brings perspectives from East-West and transpersonal psychology to a conversation about romantic love, family relationships, fertility, and spiritual development.
They also explore the medicalization of birth, environmental pressures on fertility, pregnancy as a heightened or "entheogenic" experience, and the language and mental models that shape our understanding of conception and family creation.
This episode presents personal, spiritual, and philosophical perspectives and is not medical advice.
