Birth Process Workshop

Dates: April 20 & 21, 2013 from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm both days

Location: For location information, contact Gary Peterson

Cost: $500 for the 2-day workshop

Participants are asked to commit to attending both days of the workshop.

In the birth process workshop, each participant will have 2-3 hours to re-visit some portion of their conception, pre-natal, birth or neo-natal experience.  This birth process exploration happens in a small, intimate environment that provides you with containment, nurturance, compassion and ongoing support during your process. In addition to the guidance and support provided by your facilitator (Gary), you’ll also have the support of your fellow participants.

In this warm and empathetic environment, it’s common to resolve challenging experiences that have continued to sabotage you even into your adult life.  Trauma and wounding during the earliest parts of our lives forms deep imprints on our nervous system and our developing mind, and if unresolved, we may continue to experience the debilitating effects of those imprints throughout our adult lives. Resolving and re-patterning these imprints can lead to dynamic changes in your  experience of life in present time, empowering you to find greater health, balance and joy. This empowerment arises as you come into more direct relationship with your own Inherent Health – that deeper level of intelligence that resides in each of us and  is greater than our human mentality.

The workshop is participant-centered, meaning that your facilitator will make suggestions but will never pressure you to do anything you do not want to do. Your facilitator will always support your individual process to move forward in a contained way that respects your own pacing, rhythms and resources.
