By the end of March 2012, my services will be taking me to the Northern Territory, where I will offer my gift to families who need me. I look forward to the interaction I will have with our indigenous Tangata Whenua and am looking forward to being educated about traditional birthing practices, should I be given that invitation. Change in many forms can grow us and mold us in a way we have no control over. When we give in to the experiences that arrive at our doorstep, it's best to embrace it and go with the flow. I am also in the process of creating some art pieces, reflecting birth from my eyes. Also making Ipu Whenua to cater to mama's and families who want the traditional aspect of burying their whenua inside a vessel. I look forward to utilising the various clays that are available for use. I will add links when my works are available for sale. Here is a link on making an Ipu Whenua using weaved baskets, simply beautiful in every way.
