The Moment You Became a Parent, the Village Whispered...
There was a time when parenting was held by many hands—grandmothers, birthkeepers, storytellers, and song. It was not a task to endure, but a sacred rite woven into the rhythms of the land and the heartbeat of the people.
But something fractured.
The wisdom was silenced. The circle dispersed. And too many parents found themselves alone in moments meant to be shared.
Awakening the Village Within is a return.
It is a journey through the hidden layers of parenting—the ones shaped not just by behavior, but by birth, body, and ancestral memory. Through the lens of pre & perinatal birth psychology, spirituality, and village wisdom, Jennifer Jeffcoat offers a pathway back to connection, presence, and embodied wholeness.
This book does not tell you how to parent.
It invites you to remember why you parent—and how your nervous system, your stories, and your deepest longings hold the keys to healing.
Whether you are birthing, raising, or reparenting yourself, this book will meet you at the threshold and walk with you home.
