La Mana to Cuenca
March 28, 2010
OK, so this is the scoop as of March 28.
In the last 3 weeks, I spend 7 days and 14 trips opening a bank account! and buy a car. (Do you know what a big commitment to living here buying a car is?) But how do you look for land [...]
“Diary of a Spiritual Midwife” by Sunni Karll February-March 2010
DEAR ALL,
MY STORY OF THE LAST MONTH, HEADING TO THE LAND.
I went to Vilcabamba in late January, since things happened that made it clear that I was not meant to go to Mon Peche, “the Hawaii of Ecuador,” I’m homesick, Pooh. I am directed to Vilcabamba. Vilcabamba is a pretty little town, but I knew [...]

I was led to connect with Pachamama, but instead of heading to the jungle in the East, I was led toward Mindo in the north west. So I thought OK, the clinic must be about the local people there. Then, I went to the Butterfly House, a cool tourist attraction, a beautiful place in [...]

September 25
I see a deer in the inner planes two days ago. This morning when still dark, I see a flash of very bright white light near my head and then the stag/deer runs across my inner vision. It’s playful but regal at the same time and I realize somehow that this is [...]
“Birthing Sisters: Our Community Doula Monthly Gathering 12/9/09″ by Sharon Gonsalves
The Sacred Birthing Community Doulas meet monthly as a way to support each other in our work and continue to learn and grow. We met last night and shared several birth stories. I see very clearly how our presence is making a difference, not only on Kauai, but anywhere we go.
Eight of the women from [...]
“Becoming a Sacred Birthing Community Doula: My First Birth” by Sharon Gonsalvez
My name is Sharon Gonsalves and I attended the Sacred Birthing Foundation’s Doula Training Program from January through April 2009. Barbara Essman was the lead instructor and author/founder/midwife Sunni Karll was very instrumental in delivering the training.

She also felt some new discomfort in her lower back and pelvis. It didn’t take us too long to clue [...]

It’s really a chance to pray, making a medicine wheel. I ask what the intention is for this wheel and find that it is to raise the vibration of the camping area so that this area becomes a camp for those who seek to be more conscious, and each summer there are [...]

September 22, 2009
(Happy birthday dad.)
I am being taught to journey through time, space and dimensions. What good tools I have developed to be ready for this – past life therapy, birth therapy and midwifery. Ultimately, I am to journey for souls in birth, the birth itself, and death. I am to go into [...]
