Track 5: “A Place for the Women to Grow”

Listen Now (1 min) | A Spoken Word Poem by Sarah Irani

We are back from Thanksgiving break and here to bring you the B/SIDE of THE MOTHERSHIP: VOLUME 2.

In this year’s audio collection, we wanted to explore art and creativity as one of the healing forces in mothering/motherhood. It is a return to and the attuning of a mother’s intuition. When in practice and in ritual, the process of making art and creating something tangible - whether painted, written, performed - serves as a tool to reawaken the sensual and mysterious parts of us, of you. And when you’re tapped out, touched out, and burned out, this is the medicine that can bring you back to yourself and that inner knowing.

Sarah Irani is an artist and mother. Her books on THE PARADISE REALM combine poetry, photography, paintings, nature, desire, ancestral transmissions, child-like innocence and journal prompts in an interactive 3-part series. Her self-portraits are particularly stunning in her natural habitat in natural form.

Sarah Irani’s “A Place for the Women Grow” offers us a taste of The Paradise Realm, where women restore order to a land that has been ravaged. In their alignment with nature, boundless in freedom, they bring beauty back to Mother Earth. Irani’s poetry is visceral and real: playing on our ability to dream up a heavenly place even when it feels like darkness is all around us.

We hope you enjoy this transmission. Upgrade to PAID to listen.

“This land it has been ravaged / A wounded gash of dirt, bulldozed.”

Stills from “Paradise Realm” Books by Sarah Irani

“But with her sisters, she’s conspiring / Something planted, mended, cured.”

“And with beauty come the women / For this is what the women know.”
