The\u00a0Shamanic Dimensions of Pregnancy <\/em><\/strong>workshop begins with the creation of a\u00a0safe container<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a cauldron of love and intimacy to hold us throughout the day.<\/p>We hold each other and listen with the ears of our heart to our sisters and ourselves speaking.\u00a0 We pool our embodied wisdom.<\/p>
In this sacred space we allow ourselves to\u00a0feel our feelings<\/strong>\u00a0and be with whatever is arising, offering compassion and love to ourselves and each other, as we share and reflect on the various faces of our birth experience.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBirth as a Rite of Passage<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/p>
The major theme running through the day is birth, and we reflect on how and why birth has become so medicalised<\/strong> and for so many, traumatising.\u00a0 We look to feminine birthing wisdom, what has been lost and what is being reclaimed.<\/p>We reinstate birth as a<\/strong> powerful, trustworthy and natural rite of passage<\/strong>.<\/p>Our own Birth is the beginning of our life cycle and is thus a powerful imprint<\/strong> or story of how we do creativity, and birth things in the world. \u00a0<\/p>In this\u00a0Shamanic Dimensions of Pregnancy<\/strong><\/em> workshop, we bring consciousness to our own birth story and the births of any children and projects.\u00a0<\/p>We identify patterns and themes<\/strong> through self-reflection, sharing in pairs, and sharing in circle (and of course, all of these processes are entirely invitational and voluntary).\u00a0<\/p>In undertaking this important work, we open ourselves to new possibilities and clear the way for our inherent and abundant creativity<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLetting Go of Fear Ritual<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/p>
In current society, we are taught to fear<\/strong> birth, and to mistrust<\/strong> our own body\u2019s wisdom and knowing.\u00a0 This generates fears around the birthing process and our own capacity to bring our children\/projects\/selves into the world.<\/span><\/p>Within the loving container of our workshop circle, with consciousness of our own birth stories and all we bring to birth from our red thread\/mother line<\/strong>, we acknowledge our own fears and the fears around us. <\/span><\/p>We dig deeper here and uncover the beliefs<\/span> we have that enable that enable these fears and begin the process of examining these beliefs.\u00a0 We ask of ourselves, do we even believe the belief required to have these fears?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>We co-create a beautiful ritual<\/strong> to release these fears, and to once again trust our body\u2019s capacity to birth.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>We reclaim our feminine wisdom and intuitive knowing.\u00a0<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMeet your baby\/creation\/Self!<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Drum Journey
<\/span><\/i>The drum is a powerful tool and you can travel via the drum beat to the deep pools of wisdom within and without. In this drum journey you connect with your baby<\/strong> in your womb, your soul baby (babies you have \u2018lost\u2019 or who are yet to come) or your inner goddess\/ shaman.\u00a0 Birth is a collaborative effort!<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
