167. Fertility Support, Community, Healing and Spiritual Practice with Françoise Molenaar

This week’s podcast guest is Françoise Molenaar who is a meditation teacher and shaman who specialises in fertility and pregnancy loss. As an award-winning political scientist and conflict researcher, she used to travel the world to study and advice on how communities can increase their resilience in the face of violent conflict and extremism. But as her own fertility journey progressed along the way, she felt an increasing need to embrace a softer, more feminine side of herself that would bring back balance and joy in everyday life. She now guides other women on their fertility journeys as a 1-on-1 coach, a women’s group facilitator, and podcast host. 

She is offering a free Winter Fertility Retreat starting 1 January 2024 to support women on the fertility journey and conception. The themes of the retreat are: 

• Setting fertility intentions for 2024

• A healthy Womb and connection

• Eating for fertility

• Balancing your hormones

• Creating a fertile mindset

• Spiritual alignment - I am offering a healing ritual/circle and oracle reading

• Fertility Astrology 

• A return to pleasure and to self

• Connecting to your spirit baby

• Releasing grief

In this episode I also share about my new thesis in my religious studies, focusing on women’s experience of coping with infertility through spirituality and religion – I will be sharing more of my findings when the thesis is finalised.
