Two Green Shoots - Adam and Chloe

Say you cared about the world, about the fate of this planet, cared about it so much that you just gave up your previous lives and threw it all into the dream of a forest garden hidden in the hills outside Glengariff, west Cork. Well that's pretty much just what these two intrepid dreamers have done.

 

Two Green Shoots emerged on the farm owned by Chloe's parents and the beauty of the wilderness tumbles down the hill and envelopes you. Adam's deep knowledge of plants means that EVERYTHING that surrounds you has use, has purpose, and is also pure play. Just like this powerful yet playful couple of adventurous nature lovers.

 

This is a snippet of the time we spent chatting with the pair, after enjoying a breakfast made entirely from the bounty their land provides. We hope you enjoy our whimsical post-breakfast wander on the themes of self sufficiency, permaculture, and finding joy in living simply.

Brianna Mercado - Sexuality, Polyamory and Motherhood

Close your eyes. Imagine a mother. We bet it doesn't contain a sexualised image of a woman. But why not? Our traditional concept of motherhood is one of a selfless nurturing woman, we cleave it apart from the sexual woman who created the child, but why do we do that? Why is sex such a dirty word? Cos sex makes children right?

Brianna Mercado is a woman who stands with amazing grace in the midst of all our confusion, giving these multi-dimensional life purposes a single vessel, coherently operating as a mother, a sexual being, and a woman who is beautifully liberated from the strictures of conventional coupling.

Join us as we explore her life and gain from her reflections and insights on the inalienable rights of women (and men) to explore who they are to themselves and each other. We think her words have meaning for us all, to better understand who we are at our essence, and how simply complete and integrated we can be if we are brave and courageous enough to explore with a true heart what the world of human connection has to offer us.

Ranae Von Meding - Assisted Reproduction & Rights for Children

In a moment where our nation is once again poised to make one leap forward and take two steps back in equality and human rights legislation, we had a very special conversation with a lady whose very DNA is at the core of the issue of children's and parents' rights.

 

Ranae Von Meding's own journey with fertility clinics and the arcane legislation and policies that surround parenthood for LGBT+ couples have led her to this position as an advocate for the rights and equality of all children. Having had to travel out of the country to conceive a child with her partner via reciprocal IVF, Ranae found herself in the position that many families face - part of a parenting couple, with a child that has only 1 official and legal parent.

 

Many families across all spectrums face a similar journey with surrogacy, with the mother in these cases not recognised legally as a parent of their own child. Witness the recent coverage of the Assisted Human Reproduction Bill, in which mothers such as host of The Good Glow, Georgie Crawford will see their rights put to the back of the queue and buried for who knows how many more years....

Jacqueline Kelly - The Power Of No

A tiny word, but oh how disallowed it is. For mothers especially, setting boundaries around your time and work and responsibility and duties is more than unsettling, in fact it's so challenging that conversations around a mum's vast remit of expectations are things that usually don't happen thoughout the entirety of a lifetime. A lifetime spent struggling to meet expectations of selfless devotion.

But it's time to lift the lid and seek out these darker places and bring them out to meet the sunshine of real life. Can we start to have the conversations that scratch the surface of society's impossibly perfected image of motherhood, to acknowledge the subtle yet profound value in steering away from self-sacrifice, whilst still observing and cherishing the selfless act of mothering? Of true parenthood? 

This was a blissful and revealing conversation with a wise and insightful human being - go follow @our_bravehearts and treat yourself to some comforting discomfort and whole dose of mother-loving reality.
