Therapy attempts to replace community, but fails.
(Shame, we tried)
Therapy exists because we no longer receive the benefits of co-regulation in community, of alloparenting, or of multigenerational, cyclical living.
Therapy exists because humanity’s primary foundational need is connection and belonging and without those needs met we become culturally sick: What the systems that severed us from our belonging to life itself label, “YOUR MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM”
The culture pathologized the individual instead of itself. (How convenient).
Therapy is a product of separatism, existing in isolation, offering only momentary relief before spitting you back into your day-to-day life.
Therapy exists because we no longer live in a way that serves the needs of COMMUNITY.
We are a product of a culture that prioritizes individual needs over the needs of a family system or a community.
We are expected to self regulate without co-regulation.
Entire industries are now built off the idea that we are broken and need to perform 15 different spiritual practices daily to heal and belong.
Entire industries are built on the premise that we must live according to what Gabor Mate or some mom-fluencer says makes you a good conscious mom.
There is no integrity in performed “goodness”; consciousness will always win!
Community is not a place; it is a way of life.
Community integrates values that serve collective evolution. Community is rooted in the mycelium nature of consciousness. To serve it is to serve the unique way in which each of us wants to build capacity to be co-regulated by RELATIONSHIP. Not run for the hills or “over-function” in freeze or fawn to belong in spaces where we are not SEEN but rather validated for how we perform our humanity.
Community as a value / principle acts as a guiding force for the decisions we make: What we want, where we want to live, who we want to be close to, and how we want our children to grow up.
Community is the antidote to becoming a slave to control mechanisms perpetuated by conscious parenting movements that isolate us from other families due to differing boundaries around screen-time, ice cream and vaccines. This is the most dangerous aspect of current ideologically driven parenting categories. We are building ZERO capacity to be able to hold nuance and therefore missing out on the softening and humbling available to us through community.
These hyper control mechanisms serve the mother and parents only, not the children.
Children are being parented by the projection of their parents wounding. Controlling everything a child does and eats is a coping mechanism for being handed the hugest humble pie imaginable from becoming a mother and then NOT EATING IT.
Motherhood is supposed to ANNIHILATE and BIRTH ANEW, not reinforce old patterns and wounding.
But most of our nervous systems are wired for survival in an individualistic world - those patterns run so deep they will do everything they possibly can to protect you from dying the biggest ego death of your life.
There is only so long we can continue to blame our parents for the lack of love and connection we believe we need in order to take risks and build our capacity to create the life of our dreams. What would it take to match what we SAY we believe / virtue signal about on social media?
There is only so long we can blame our parents for what the vulture culture perpetuates.
And there is only so long we can blame our culture before we need to shut the fuck up and be part of creating a new one:
is community consciousness.
Community is NOT limited to living in a commune or spiritual homestead in Portugal.
Sure, that’s one end of the spectrum.
The sweet spot is (always) somewhere in the middle.
This is what Mother Nurture serves.
We have women living in community homesteads and women living deep within big cities. We have women in suburbs and women in remote villages.
We have women who vaccinate and women who don’t; women who free-birth and women who choose elective cesareans.
THIS IS TRUE COMMUNITY.
Social media will box you into echo chambers.
If you’re not hanging out with people you disagree with then you’re living the algorithm.
The game is playing you instead of you playing it.
And if we can’t all live together, we will create a field together!
I did that.
And if you know anything about anything you know: ENERGY PRECEDES MATTER.
The field is the microcosm.
THE FIELD IS ALIVE!
Come and feed into and from a field in service to creating a new culture.
Here is our application form.
The process will be revealing in itself. It is an act of consciousness. Take the first step and the field holds your hand from the moment you Act - regardless of whether you join or not.
In love and service to consciousness,
Amy May





The dark brew awaits (my little offering to community 😉)
