You're invited to join:
Sovereign Cycles
A 6-month mentorship to develop the radical body literacy, plant allies, and practical skills for reproductive sovereignty.
Reproductive Sovereignty is your birthright.
We are no longer asking for permission
Or waiting for the right laws.
Sovereignty means "self-governed":
You are already a medicine holder
And you've been called to reclaim this wisdom
To feel confident not only in how to self-govern your own fertility, but also how to hold space for others
How to build meaningful relationships with plants
Know how to be with birth and death in all its forms
And return reproductive freedom to its rightful home -- in the hands of matriarchy.
Sovereign Cycles is for the current and aspiring medicine keepers who are ready to carry a deep understanding of how to navigate these waters, support their communities, and walk this path with trust over fear. Welcome.
The 6 Month Mentorship Container Includes:
Live Learning & Recorded Resources
Learn the science and the sacred of walking through the pregnancy prevention and release portals through body literacy, plants, practices and more. While the course runs for 10 weeks live twice a year, you can join anytime! Work through the modules at your own pace, and join us for live monthly case studies and practitioner roundtables, with opportunities to check in 1-1 with Qiddist anytime.
Private Community
This work was meant to be done in sisterhood. In Sovereign Cycles, you'll have access to a private, uncensored and inspiring community of radical women and community practitioners engaging in this work alongside you. Bring your questions, personal experiences and wisdom, and your reflections to be witnessed and supported in the space.
Ongoing Mentorship & Support
Receive ongoing mentorship beyond the course dates in the private community, where we share resources, source herbs, engage in continuing education and support each other on our personal journeys as we hold this work. Whether you're supporting a friend for the first time, navigating a challenging situation, or searching for herbal sources, Qiddist and the community is here to walk with you through your initiations in the work.
The Modules
There are 10 weeks of self guided content, with everything recorded for you to move through at your own pace. Take your time. For the 6 months of the mentorship, you also have access to live monthly case study roundtables, bi-monthly embodiment practices, and opportunities for 1-1 check ins with Qiddist.
Weeks 1-2
Life, Death and the Fertility Continuum
The female body has an innate capacity to govern life and death. What does that responsibility mean, and how do we honor it? In the first two weeks, we will explore life and death through the menstrual/ovulatory cycle, hone our fertility awareness skills (even if we've practiced for years), and do unpack our own relationships with how we show up in integrity in this work.
Weeks 3-4
Sacred Physiology: Conception, Implantation, and Pregnancy Prevention
What happens between conception and the time when someone is legally pregnant? This module will focus on gaining a deep understanding of the physiology of implantation, why this magic window is so important, and how we can work with key plant allies to interrupt the implantation process.
Weeks 5-6
Plants, Pills and Practices for Release
How do plants actually encourage menstruation -- and how do we build relationships with them? How can we safely and effectively educate about release pills? What does supporting a release look like from start to finish? In this module we'll dive deep into building both our intuitive wisdom and our factual knowledge about the star plant (and other) allies in this work and how to work with them.
Weeks 7-8
Safety, Nourishment, and Honoring Postpartum
How do we tend to the physical, emotional and spiritual safety needs throughout this transition? We'll talk contraindications and managing toxicity, how to encourage nourishment, and how we can bring ritual and sacredness to the postpartum time.
Weeks 9-10
Doing the Work: Cultivating Your Toolkit and Collective Case Studies
As we come to a close, you will be supported in cultivating your own reproductive sovereignty toolkit and/or library, and we'll discuss case studies, lingering questions, and visions for how we can be collectively resourced as we hold each other in this work.
BONUS
Ongoing Support & Mentorship
Included in this program is 6 months of access to a private practitioner container in The Womb Room, where you can continue to share your questions, experiences, resources and supplies, and receive mentorship and support on your own path. (If you choose to stay in the community container beyond the six months, you can do so for $22 per month.)
(Please note that the exchange will raise to $1111 or 4 payments of $300 in 2023.)
You're ready for this container if:
- You feel deeply called to understand the wise woman ways of pregnancy prevention and release, not only for yourself, but also for your community
- You're ready to stop relying on institutions to protect your womb, and instead feel confident about how to take responsibility for your reproductive life
- You want to feel confident and prepared with herbs, medicines, practices and mentorship to support yourself & others through pregnancy prevention and healing from release
- You feel lit up by the idea of joining and inspired, private network of radical practitioners and wisdom keepers to encourage you on your journey
A Love note from your facilitator
Dear One,
I trust that if you've made it here, it's for a reason.
You know this medicine is already in your blood, your heart, and your lineage.
That we can no longer afford to wait for "somebody else."
It has been my honor to hold space for the womb continuum and cycles of birth & death in so many ways over the years --and it is my deep honor to walk with you as you enter this work, too.
If you are ready to step into the matriarchal role of holding this work of reproductive sovereignty in your community, this is for you.
I can't wait to walk with you.
With love,
Qiddist
Where Your Investment Goes
Though I am not obligated to share how I use my funds, it feels of particular importance in this type of sensitive and sacred work to share how your reciprocity impacts me and the communities I serve. The proceeds from this container go toward supporting:
Free & Donation Based Education & Herbal Support
I support dozens of low-income individuals each year with herbs, consults + more in the reproductive sovereignty realm, including outside of the country which I offer at donation or no cost. I am often a "last resort" call. Your investment allows me to keep my apothecary stocked so that I may continue to give generously.
Scholarships to BIPOC Practitioners
A percentage of each participant's exchange goes toward a scholarship fund to support rising BIPOC practitioners in the work of fertility awareness, pregnancy prevention and release, birth and postpartum support.
Sustaining Myself & My Family
Your participation and reciprocity in my work has an immense impact on my life, and allows me to support myself and my family so that I may continue to show up for this sacred work without burning out. Much, much gratitude.
