How Did the Song "Track Your Woman's Bleed" Manage to help Men 'Get it', and get on Board...

The Song and its mission is to inspire men to better understand & revere the womb & her cycles, to create balance in the imbalanced masculine, & support healthier relationships, families and society. That is why every BandCamp purchase & donation directly funds the artists and the Red Tent movements doing this work in the with men.

Let us start with the ancients...The lyrics of "Track Your Woman's Bleed" were inspired by an ancient Hopi prophecy, passed to us through our womb wisdom elder mentors:

"When the women give their blood back to the earth, men will come home from war and earth shall find peace."

The Hopi are an indigenous people of North America whose oral traditions have carried this understanding across generations - that a woman's cycle is not separate from the health of the world, but central to it. Drew heard this prophecy and something clicked, he had witnessed this first hand with his partner of 20 years (me, Chichi), and in countless well meaning projects that still repeated patterns of the patriachy, missing all the healing womb wisdom carries. This song is his response. And when the woman of the valley heard it online and then sang it with Drew at the communities open mic, they rallied, from every walk of life, from birthing doulas to dancers. So many came together that the men payed attention, some already knew, while many others didn't know this was what woman truly want.

“All my Life I have been praying for a man to hold me like that while I bleed, and I haven’t had that, and so for a man, to sing that to other men, to support woman, it’s the greatest healing…it feels like magic”

The testimony of Doula student Amandine begins the track.

Here is the magic created for the song's music video - a real-life ceremony and altar were created to celebrate women's wombs.

Drew's Story

Drew wrote the song to inspire other men. He is not mansplaining to women about their bodies - he is the bridge for men to listen, learn, and begin a different & kinder path in relation to wombs.

"Coming from a man - that's when the men begin to get it." Jewels Wingfield, 40 years in womb wisdom

The song was birthed around the fire at Jewels Wingfields Earth Heart Temple, after a jaw dropping interview with her, and many truth bombs later, Drew found himself composing what was to become "Track Your Woman's Bleed" song.

This wasn't a flippent moment in time, this song came from 20 years of lived experience - being mentored by elders including Jewels Wingfield, Jady Mountjoy, Elder Sol and Toltec Elders, he interviewed many many woman all ages, he defending woman many times when other men did not, he took part in women's temples, learning, holding, & listening, and of course then putting all of it into practice in his relationship and in the men's groups he is part of.

When he spoke online as a man about menstrual cycles, it reached over 8 million views.

It wasn't always easy - men's groups were initially resistant, and he had to search for others willing to learn and break old patterns. Drew, together with the women mentoring him, innovated a project from the song that created such momentum that the resistance turned into participation.

Now there is an altar to mark womb rites of passage, made by men and the community, for public use. He co-created a ceremony of celebration with men for women, and organised a video of it all... the ripple of that is still growing.

How This Movement Grew - From One Song to a Valley

A Fair Economic Model - Mutual Aid in Action

Cooperation - not competition - was the engine of survival and civilisational development. According to Kropotkin (Ecosia him it's worth it if you don't know who he is) His research showed that species and human communities which practised mutual support consistently outlasted those organised around dominance and extraction. This is not an idealistic claim. It is an evolutionary one. TLC's model - skills exchanged, resources pooled, proceeds shared fairly across all contributors - is not unusual in human history. It is, in fact, the oldest economic model there is.

Track Your Woman's Bleed is TLC's first deliberate experiment in building a fair, sustainable funding stream - rooted in mutual aid principles, and distributed transparently across everyone who made it, and projects creating planet repairs. Every Bandcamp purchase feeds directly into this distribution:

A fair portion is given to the community of revolutionary artists, and a direct investment in the movements the song sings about. At a time when Spotify and AI are destroying a musician's capacity to earn, investment in artists is a potential lifeline. Every purchase is simultaneously an act of support for the people who made something beautiful and an act of structural change - funding the red tent movements and womb wisdom practitioners that this song specifically sings about.

Because when you buy a song, you are not just buying a song. You are buying an anthem, an education, and a funding stream for planet repairs - all at once.

How did This Project Get Men & the Community on Board?

If you look at many of the comments on TLC Insagram pages, you will see how many women crave men to get it, how many feel it is so difficult. Even if you look at the donators list, you will see 80% of the contributors were women. Extra kudos for the beautiful men who supported the project.

In the ceremony even the majority were women. In the run up to the ceremony there were men who were triggered, who made excuses not to come, men who could not be part of the making of the song or project because they were not aligned with the songs message of honouring the womb. This is the reality we faced. And yet, so many men championed the making of the song, the altar, the ceremony, and the preparations for it. Why did some not want to come on board, and others did? TLC will be conducting a social impact survey to ask this very question. What I can say is that the women rallied in mass, that is powerful, conversations came up that needed to be had, there was something about a man singing this, and seeing the women react with such deep emotion and passion that woke up the penny dropping.

Also the arts are a primal motivator as they evoke the practice of expression, the felt-sense of something, and artists who are practiced create quality that by passes the logic and touches the heart, many who didn't get what the big deal was before, got it when they saw the YouTube music video. A picture paints a thousand words; so many people, woman, emotions, authentic sentient moments. Those that were sceptical started coming on board too.

Another important factor was that the valley already had decades of empowered women dotted everywhere who had come through the Da a Luz Birth Keeper school. And many fathers who wanted this for the mothers of their children and daughters, gifting their time and talents to make this project possible, fathers who had been going to mens groups, and had trust with one another.

The entire process of the project was done with a deep listening of the community's needs and ecosystem, with advice from various elders mentoring the ceremony, how it should unfold, what would inspire and what needed to be respected. For example, an elder spoke to the fact that no blood ceremony should be filmed, so at the ceremony we prepared the videographers to know that if blood came out, camera's were turned off. The copper crown could only be worn by woman, not children, so that they have something to look toward as an honour. The circle of woman required the men to ask for permission to enter. Small details, that give meaning, re-build culture and practice what was lost. The celebration of each other.

The process of creating the project including the song, the ceremony, the altar & crown for public use, and of course the music video were done through actioning what the song speaks to, men supporting women's cycles, not ignoring them. If a woman was bleeding, she was respected. And this was the most powerful aspect to the whole thing. The project lead by example.

Also, the mutual sense of support, as part of the proceeds were going into initiating and educating men, to give them better support in their relationships. This is what made the project into a cultural intervention, men were given a way to understand and break out of the old paradigm, women felt seen, heard and understood. The children watched this happening, they sang, danced and carried wood too. People came on board because deep down inside we all know this is the way it was meant to be, the ancient cultures knew this, and we are now remembering and creating the culture that we deserve, that was always our birthright. Together.
