🌸 Support Me During My Cuarentena: A Sacred 40 Days of Postpartum Rest & Renewal 🌸
Dear Community,
As I prepare to welcome my baby earthside, I am also preparing to honor the sacred postpartum tradition known as la cuarentena — a 40-day period of deep rest, nourishment, and care for mother and baby.
For generations, this practice has been a way for communities to come together to hold the mother as she heals, bonds, and transitions into her new role. It is a time to slow down, to be nurtured, and to allow the village to carry what she cannot carry alone.
This is not just my personal journey — it is a weaving of the ancient wisdom of our ancestors into the fabric of our modern lives. It is a prayer that these traditions stay alive, and that we remember how to show up for one another in sacred times.
I will not be working during these 40 days, fully surrendering to this time of rest and healing.
If you feel called, I warmly invite you to support me in this tender time. Your contribution — no matter the amount — helps to cover my needs during this sacred window, and is a gift not only to me and my baby, but to the collective remembering of how we hold each other as a community.
Thank you for being part of this circle. Thank you for helping me honor the wisdom of la cuarentena, and for walking this path with me.
With love, gratitude, and blessings,
Mars & Family
