Culture is Dynamic.
Birth is Universal.

The 2025 Wombs of the World Summit is a sacred gathering to honor Indigenous and traditional birth keepers and ensure their wisdom is carried forward.

The Intention

Why We Gather

This summit is a sacred space to honor birth, family care, and community through ancestral practices that stretch from the Andes to Tanzania, from Mexico to Malaysia, from memory to the hands.

It is an invitation to listen deeply to the wisdom of our elders and to one another, to remember, reawaken, and embrace ancient ways of care in contemporary life. Together, we will weave stories, rituals, and embodied practices of resistance, healing, and renewal, carrying forward the knowledge that has nurtured life across generations and territories, reminding us that culture is dynamic and birth is universal.
