Womb Awakening

“Womb Awakening gave me total body chills the moment I turned the first page. Here is a masterwork of beauty, power, and mystical truth—long buried but now rising as both women and planet Earth heal and assume their full potential and grandeur.” * Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Goddesses Never Age *
“Womb Awakening is a magnificent achievement that gives new life to the vision of tantra, with women as spiritual power-holders and initiators who celebrated the womb as a treasury of knowledge and source of bliss, compassion, and liberating wisdom. With radiant prose, the book ushers us to the original altar and holy temple within us all, guiding us into the womb realm of magic, transforming power, and healing grace of sacred union with ourselves, our partners, and the earth.” * Miranda Shaw, Ph.D., author of Passionate Enlightenment *
“A brilliant and heartfelt book, I believe this work has the potential to forever change our ideas about the womb. I was enthralled from the very first pages. A beautiful and timely body of womb wisdom that will be shared for generations to come.” * Rosita Arvigo, D.N., Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer *
“An extraordinary book that is both a revelation and a priceless shamanic guide to the Divine Wisdom of the Feminine--obliterated and obfuscated by patriarchal religion for five millennia--a wondrous, generous, astonishing, deeply researched, and utterly extraordinary gift to women and men who are searching for the true meaning of the Holy Grail and the deeper purpose of their lives on this planet.” * Anne Baring, author of The Dream of the Cosmos *
“Womb Awakening is a comprehensive and unrivaled guide to the hidden wisdom of the womb. More than just a book, it is an initiation into the sacred feminine mysteries, opening a portal to the possibility of embodying ancient insight. Allow yourself to be transformed by the deep feminine wisdom contained in this powerful book.” * Lucy H. Pearce, author of Moon Time, Burning Woman, and Full Circle Health *
“Azra Bertrand, M.D., and Seren Bertrand have captured the spirit of this deeply important journey we must all go on at some stage of our lives. Together they compel, inspire, guide, and encourage both men and women into Womb Awakening. I highly recommend this book for everyone!” * Anaiya Sophia, author of Sacred Sexual Union *
“The Bertrands have gathered a compendium of historical information to illustrate how we have lost our connection to nature. By relying upon ancient and reverent womb wisdom, we can move away from the current human crisis of separation that has been imposed upon us through a polarization of masculine consciousness. This book points the way to recover our wholeness through inviting the feminine consciousness of unconditional love into our lives as a necessary guiding force.” * Pia Orleane, Ph.D., author of Sacred Retreat *
“Womb Awakening is both a mystery school and a portal. It is a reclamation and celebration of the womb as adytum within the temple of a woman’s body. Through story, mythology, history, poetry, ritual, and lush imagery, the authors deftly induct the reader into the heart of the feminine mystery. A stirring and heartfelt offering whose pages shimmer with wisdom and magic.” * Shonagh Home, author of Ix Chel Wisdom: 7 Teachings from the Mayan Sacred Feminine *
“This book is to be read in exactly the same way you should eat dark chocolate: slowly, intentionally, and with complete devotion. Its pages are encoded with the wisdom of the ancients--the womb bodhisattvas and menstrual mystics--it’s a full-bodied remembrance of who we really are, which is so ‘bloody’ necessary when navigating these interesting times we’re currently living in.” * Lisa Lister, author of Love Your Lady Landscape and Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic. *
“Azra and Seren Bertrand have woven together a convincing theory of ancient myths and practices to help us understand that womb wisdom has been honored and preserved throughout the millennia of time. The nonlinear presentation accentuates the necessity of a return to living by nature’s rhythms. Their work should become a model for understanding the wisdom and the depth of the Divine Feminine.” * Cullen Baird Smith, coauthor of Remembering Who We Are and Conversations with Laarkmaa *
