The flesh made word
Mother Mother shares acorn sermons and scripture notes from the sermons that emerge from the dance when she is deep inside the ringshout. Some sermons pour out amidst the raw activations of spontaneous and unscripted movements, and some spring up hours or days later, in soft pockets of reflection when Mother Mother is nursing babies, cooking, studying the trees and clouds, or bouncing around with her children.
Dancing into a Wellspring of Joy
Mother Mother shares soft invitations for centering our joy and being present with what feels good in our bodies…
Dancing with Black Holes
Journey with Mother Mother as she gently feels her way into the magical correlations between what Wonder is teaching her about black holes in our universe, and the possibility of our movement and body consciousness to bring us into new and reimagined relationships with our personal black holes: the messy, heartaching, transformative parts of life. She also uncovers a memory from 10 years ago when she was navigating a black hole moment, and tells the story of how its deliverance initiated her path as a fertility priestess and dancing mother. John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme is our sonic boost to this juicy, midnight movement sermon.

Ringshout Love Consciousness
Mother Mother journeys into the deep waters of her ringshout practice, a reimagined healing movement technology that survived the bodies of her African ancestors who were once enslaved on plantations in the Americas, and who danced counterclockwise processionals to commune with their spiritual powers and travel across parallels of time…

Before the Revival: On Honoring the Death So That We Can Discover New Life
In this sermon Mother Mother tenderly invites mothers who are unsure of where and how they enter when sitting with early transitioning birth journeys. She speaks especially to those who are arriving to this discovery after a long time since their protostar birthing journeys, and also to those who were not deeply and lovingly supported when their starseeds returned to the light before they could be born into their human story. She reminds us: time is all we have, we have all the time we need.

Sun Love Orbit
Mother Mother is inspired by the sun’s long labors of creating and sharing its energy with the Earth. She imagines the many movements of matter and solar particles that collaborate for the phenomenon that is heat and light. She interprets the sun’s actions as a devotion of love and sustenance for us all. This joy and gratitude sparks movement explorations that experiment with circles, continuity, reaching, expansion, fusion, and spinning.

Tracing Sermonic origins
The original bricks at Reverend Ma’L’s church that her grandsons built, captured by Mother Mother on a family pilgrimage, 2013
Through her bloodline, Mother Mother traces the roots of her sermonic tradition back to her great-great grandmother, Reverend Ma’L, an evangelical preacher in and around Laurinburg, North Carolina from the late 1800s and into the first half of the 20th century. Reverend Ma’L had 7 grandsons, and one of them was Mother Mother’s maternal grandfather. Reverend Ma’L enlisted the physical labor of her grandsons to build her a church, brick by brick. A few months before Mother Mother gave birth to her first child, she went on a family pilgrimage to her grandfather’s birthplace, and he took everyone to see the church that he helped build for his grandmother.
