Oxytocin & The Womb Continuum:

Bleeding, Cumming, & Courting the Veil

live on Zoom Monday April 21st 10am-12pm MST with limited replay

A Fruit of Knowledge Learning Circle

with CEUs for The Well School of Body Literacy

Oxytocin is a conduit for the waxing & waning of spirit into matter. 

Both a hormone & a neurotransmitter, oxytocin causes contractions throughout a myriad of life-giving expressions of arousal & release in the womb, breasts, vas deferens, clitoris, & more!  This substance has a narcotic-like effect on perception of pain & cognition, while increasing behaviors of bonding, love & generosity. Sexual arousal, orgasm, menstruation, birth, miscarriage, abortion, breastfeeding & postpartum periods are all powerful opportunities to ‘court the veil,’ with the aid of oxytocin. This offering explores physical, biochemical & spiritual commonalities between various points on the womb continuum. The innate potential for healing, transcendence, & ecstasy will be highlighted and placed within our intimate body ecologies.

A practical foundation of biochemistry, neurobiology, & physiology will be established first to  cultivate understanding of how oxytocin affects a myriad of vital processes in our sexual & reproductive lives. Participants will learn how to encourage & protect the release of oxytocin, tending to the gardens of our nervous & endocrine systems to support healing, pleasure, & transcendent states throughout the womb continuum. 

Upon the practical foundation of physiology we will explore historical & ancestral ceremonies that encourage the release of oxytocin. Mytho-poetics, herbal allies, & embodied experiential wisdom will be woven into this rich conversation. 

We’d love to welcome you to The Fruit of Knowledge (FoK) Learning Community!
