Our
Philosophy
Mother Tongue is the oldest language that exists. It is the language birds sing in. It is the language that causes lighting to strike and the tide to roll in. It is the language of Love and our natural essence. After millennia of spiritual and cultural poverty, natural essence is a seat of awareness we intentionally cultivate and choose to reside in.
Cultivating a world of curves and spirals, in mutiny against the lifeless boxes of dominant culture. Rooting into the webs and cycles of nature, we descend into the deep, dark soil of our bodies, hearts and souls blossoming benevolent change in the wordl


Dance in the dialect of the ancients
Dissolve in the poetry of the sacred,
Dialogue with the depths of nature,
Allow yourself to be enchanted by the mystery of the Feminine
Transform in the alchemical fire of a rage that propels the winds of change
Relate with the humble grace of indigenous wisdom
Commune with the myths of your dreams,
Attend to the whisper of your animal body,
Respond to the magic at the heart of existence
Midwifing Soul
