Birth Healing Workshop
Many women are left feeling angry, frustrated, sad, resentful, guilty and/or confused about their births. This workshop will help the participant to explore any residual feelings she may have around her birth, gain awareness as to where she is at as far as making peace with her birth is concerned, free up some of the emotions that may be sitting quietly awaiting expression and will help to validate her experience.
Writing and art-based exercises, guided visualizations, support and further, supportive resources will all be a part of this workshop. This is not an ongoing support group nor is it a therapy session. If you feel a need to make peace with your birth, this workshop may be a good starting point or a wonderful way to bring about closure. Participants will find common ground and support while sharing their own unique birth stories in an environment that is safe and understanding.
It is important that participants are at least 6 months postpartum as many emotions lie dormant before this time and you may not get what you need out of this type of experience if you are still in the earlier postpartum months. This is a women-only workshop and so we ask that childcare arrangements be made. A resource list will be given at the end of the workshop so participants can continue to come to terms with their birth experience.
