Cradle of Hands

 The Cradle of Hands festival falls on 12 May and marks the birthday of Ashima Asha Amala, the first child born outside the survivariums: ie the day the outside world was officially declared safe for Full Circle life. On this day one shows appreciation to all one’s doulas and childers by visiting them, if possible, or sending them gifts, or sitting and thinking about them in the Place of Remembrance.
