Welcome to the Revival.
REGENERATIVE WELL WOMAN CARE
ORIGIN is a Regenerative Culture of Care for the Body of Womankind. Through Ceremonial Whole Woman Whole Pelvic Care and the Restoration of Women's Keepers to Communities we serve our prayer and mission forward of Global Womb Healing and the Resurrection of Womb Lineage on behalf of Women, the Womb, and All Life.
Lets begin together by opening our hearts to the inquiry of what is Regenerative? What is the Regenerative Return of True Well Woman Care? And, why does ORIGIN stand for a Regenerative Culture of Care for Womankind?
/rēˈjenərədiv/
The definition of Regenerative from the Oxford dictionary is “tending to or characterized by regeneration”. The definition of Regeneration, /rēˌjenəˈrāSH(ə)n/, is revival, renewal, a restoration of a plant, tissue, bodily part, or biological system.
Biological meaning “relating to biology or to life and living processes", connected by direct genetic relationship. Biologic meaning “born of” and “natural to”.
Regenerative has its most widely known context in the study and practice of Permaculture, which is where I first came into truly initiated contact of our Regenerative Nature, and began to learn from the earth in apprenticeship with local farmers, permaculturists, and land keepers what it means to serve the regenerative potential (and ability) of the earth and soil to heal, revive, and renew.
Through this experience I began to see the kinship between the land (our mother), and our own tissues, and started to gaze through the lens of permaculture into a Regenerative Culture of Well Woman Care.
I give great thanks to the many land keepers and protectors who passed this sight, relationship, and understanding down to me, so it could change the fabric of my life, psyche, and way of experiencing the body.
I define the Regenerative Return of True Well Woman Care as the return of care that revives, renews, and restores the health of the body of women. We do this through hands on care of the entire body, including the entirety of the pelvis from back body including legs, hips, glutes, sacrum, and spine, to front body including shoulders, breasts, diaphragm, belly, womb, vulva, yoni, and cervix, and the many muscles, ligaments, and structures of the body and pelvis, all which weave together for the health and balance of the whole pelvis, and whole woman.
Through Hands on Touch and our Whole Woman Whole Pelvic Care framework this care upholds what gives life to our biological systems of health through our tissues, fluids, blood, bones, nervous systems, muscles, reproductive and sexual systems, and whole bodies. We recognize the body as a continuum- the health of one aspect of the body impacts the health of the whole body.
This care is that is natural to our origination, regarding and responding to our nature. In the foundation of our hands on care is one of our primary ORIGIN pillars of Listening Touch. Listening Touch serves the balance and health of our bodies through the health and balance of our tissues, reproductive organs, and sexual body, with particular care to our pelvic bodies - of which behold our sexual and reproductive tissues and organs. Care for our sexual and reproductive tissues and organs is essential in the maintenance, tending, caretaking, and continuation of life.
ORIGIN stands for a Regenerative Culture of Care for Womankind because we stand for Life, and what is life giving. This is the foundation to, and purpose of our humanity. We not only believe in every woman's right to live a beautiful, vital life, but we hold respect toward the immense importance of this for the contribution to, and continuation of all life.
This happens through the body, which is why we must care for the body. And not just some of the body, but the body from a Whole Woman Whole Pelvic Care framework that witnesses, acknowledges, and serves the entirety of the woman in all of her creation with reverence to the inseparability, and symbiotic, embryologic intelligence of her whole body and self.
True Well Woman Care is care that serves life and wellness in the bodies of women.
We recognize that the health of women is the health of the world, and honor the ORIGIN place, the Womb, in its primal, ecological health impact to every other relation on this planet.
We witness within Whole Woman Whole Pelvic Care, rested in the terrain of a Regenerative Culture of Well Woman Care, the innate ability of tissues to heal, menstrual cycles to restore, the ecology of bodily systems. organs, and structures to balance, fertility to renew, sexual health to revitalize, and for the whole health of woman, including her relationship to and embodiment of the truth of who she is, to be rehabilitated and resurrected within her.

Quote Source“It is heartbreaking to face, and requires our willingness to open, look, and acknowledge. One in three women experience infertility. One in seven women are diagnosed with pelvic pain. There is a mult-multi billion dollar industry in Women’s Reproductive Surgery. Over 90% of women experience some form of birth trauma. Over 600,000 hysterectomies occur every year in the USA alone. It is clear that there is grave degradation in our current Women’s Healthcare System and in the bodies of women throughout the continuum. When we look at the statistics of Women’s Health honestly we can see that the health of women’s bodies are in a state of decline and suffrage. There has been a multigenerational absence of True Well Woman Care, care that serves life and wellness in the bodies of women. When we look to history, we can see the separation from sexual health as whole health, and the Loss of what I call Womb Lineage, which occurred prior to the dawn of Modern Gynecology. When we look to history, there was a period of grand loss of integrated cultural care practices that value and take care of Women and the Womb, the ORIGIN of Life. This loss took place prior to the founding of Modern Gynecologic practices. Modern Gynecology as it is today does not provide True Well Woman Care, it does not provide care that directly tends to and serves the health of women’s bodies, tissues, and reproductive organs throughout their lives the way we need for sustained, maintained, and fortified vitality and health. Today, it is clear that we need another way. We need a return of True Well Woman Care, we need a Regenerative Culture of care to tend the chronic disease and widespread epidemic of pelvic, reproductive, and sexual disorders and the far too common rates of birth trauma. We need a return of Women’s Keepers. When we crest our hearts all the way open to the gravity of todays health outcomes for women it can be well understood that the health of Women and the Womb is the health of the world, and that actually, the health of Women, and therefore children, families, communities, and humanity, depends on the health of the Womb, the ORIGIN of life.”
"Our Regenerative Culture of Care is the legacy we leave. The ORIGIN Women's Keepers and the women who receive this depth of care are the living legacy of what the world becomes when Women and the Womb are cared for once more."
