Description
Since this is the beginning, it seemed to make sense to start with birth. We did throw around a couple of other themes, but we kept coming back to birth…the arrival of a baby, the making of a mother.
Having never put together an e-magazine before, we acted very much like first time mothers: relying heavily on Google for guidance, growing more and more excited as our baby began to take shape.
We compiled a list of contributors and emailed them, asking them to write a
piece on birth. Other than that one word, we gave them very little guidance. The variety of responses was exactly what we were hoping for. Like birth, they are all different and they are all powerful.
The Kindred Collective is more than just this magazine. It is a community. A virtual village of women who span the globe, who have something to share, who are looking to laugh, to cry, to give, to receive, to advise, to listen, and to love. Right now this community gathers on Instagram. But we have big plans. The future includes opportunities for this virtual village to amass in real life with local gatherings, workshops, and a retreat.
We hope you enjoy these voices sharing their thoughts about birth. We would love to hear your experiences. If you would like to add your story to our collective, please feel free to share a photo and some words on Instagram with the hashtag #kindredmothers. We are also on Facebook and good old fashioned email works too. We can’t wait to hear from you.
Love, Caitlin & Bettina
