A somatic, spiritual, and developmental guide for conscious caregivers
This workbook is an invitation to journey back to the beginning—before behavior, before language, before memory. Rooted in pre & perinatal birth psychology, nervous system science, somatic healing, and ancestral wisdom, Awakening the Village Within offers a powerful map for parents, educators, and practitioners to understand the deeper layers of a child’s development—and their own.
Spanning seven core developmental stages, the workbook is both practical and reflective. It includes:
Developmental Layer Charts – Visually rich maps showing emotional states, somatic responses, and the unmet needs behind behavior
Somatic Exploration Prompts – Body-based reflection tools for parents to track their own imprints and healing patterns
Affirmations for Each Stage – Soul-rooted mantras to guide regulation, repair, and reconnection
Cultural & Ancestral Insights – Invitations to explore how intergenerational trauma, colonized systems, and forgotten rites of passage affect our parenting today
Village Restoration Practices – Guidance for creating community support around families, rooted in connection, ritual, and shared caregivingWhether you are parenting a child or reparenting yourself, this workbook holds space for your remembering. It doesn’t ask you to be perfect—it asks you to be present, embodied, and awake to the story that lives beneath the surface.
