April 22, 2009 Healing Makes Women Wild in New York City
The levels of violence directed toward the womb are shocking. Incidents of sexual
violence, domestic violence, and genital mutilation are widespread across the globe.
Add to this other womb injuries, such as fibroids, cancer, infertility and
hysterectomies, and it becomes evident that women are in need of safety and
healing. While Eve Ensler’s work has sparked women to speak about and work
towards ending violence, Be Wild Woman is fanning the flames to spread the joy of
healing like wildfire. This year, Be Wild Woman joined V-Day as a major sponsor of a
local benefit production of The Vagina Monologues. On May 2nd, Be Wild Woman
continues its efforts to break the cycle of violence and restore the cycle of healing in
New York City with “Wild Wombing Day”, a free day-long celebration and healing
event for women.
Healer Kiana Love, founder of Be Wild Woman and Kakini Health Center, created
“Wild Wombing Day” to help women and girls transcend physical, emotional, and
spiritual wounds of the womb. An outgrowth of the Healing the Womb Project, “Wild
Wombing Day” is designed to foster awareness, community, and celebration for
women through yoga, art, performances, lectures, dance, ceremonies, music,
healing womb stories, and poetry.
“It is time for women to womb,” Kiana says, radically redefining “womb” as not only a
place but an action.
Be Wild Woman thus calls women to take this action in their lives—to create their
own safety and cultivate healing in their bodies and in their communities. Crucial to
women’s health and happiness, “wombing” provides the first step in setting the cycle
of healing in motion. Bringing together teachers, healers, artists, and community,
“Wild Wombing Day” will provide space, tools, and resources for women to begin to
womb.
Be Wild Woman started with a dream to build a community of women committed to
reclaiming and integrating all aspects of their inner wildness, from the wild abandon
and joy of a child to the ferociousness of a protective mother. While Kiana Love was
inspired by her own healing journey to start Be Wild Woman, it was through her
professional healing practice and by supporting women in their healing that the
Healing the Womb Project was born.
The Healing the Womb Project brings both awareness and healing to women and
our global community through healing programs, workshops, and its upcoming
wombing documentary. On “Wild Wombing Day”, clips of the documentary will be
shown of the women sharing their stories and experiences as participants of the first
Healing the Womb program. After just a few sessions, women reported feeling more
relaxed, grounded, empowered, and in touch with their bodies.
Like laughter, healing is contagious—and Be Wild Woman is spreading it. “Wild
Wombing Day” offers an opportunity for women to receive nurturing and heal the
various wounds of their wombs so that they can enjoy more love and fulfillment in
life. “Although these tools are familiar to people, the day will be unique in that each
woman will be going on her own individual journey of empowerment through a
series of interactive stations, while also receiving joy and support from group healing
activities,” says Kiana Love. “This is a deep experience of self-love that we are
helping women create for themselves and each other, and can then ripple out to their
communities.”
Be Wild Woman of the Kakini Health Center, in collaboration with Nurture New York,
is proud to present: The “Wild WOMBing Day” – May 2nd 11-6pm @ Nurture New
York. For more information, please visit www.bewildwoman.com.
