A four-day somatic exploration, following the model of the Pre and Perinatal Psychology trainings, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Qi Gong.

This workshop is open to individuals who are interested in working with their ‘umbilical affect’. We will be somatically exploring our very early experiences, from an evolutionary perspective as well as from a personal perspective i.e. our time growing in the womb. This can bring up challenging experiences so participants need to have a certain level of grounding and ability to hold their witness-self. Participants need to fill out an application and do a Skype interview to apply.

Dates: Sept 7th to 10th
Times: 9:30-5:30pm
Cost: Full payment before Aug 7th CAD $550, after Aug 7th $600
Location: 365 Panorama Terrace, Lillooet, BC

Please pay the deposit or full payment once your application is approved. More information about payment methods and cancellation policy here.

Accept Abundance

In this workshop we will dive into an exploration of cord and spiral dynamics. Cord dynamics originate from when we were growing our bodies in the womb receiving nourishment via our umbilical cord. Our umbilical cord spirals to support flow of nutrients and removal of waste. Many of our dynamics around digestion, receiving, and boundaries come from this original place.

Our ability to know we are lovable and deserve abundance and support are intertwined with this foundational aspect of ourselves. Working with this dynamic and resolving the places where we feel we are undeserving or blocked changes this false belief, allowing us to be open to receiving the gifts the universe has for us.

Babies are known to play and interact with their umbilical cord within the womb. Premature babies are often given crocheted octopus which can comfort them when they are able to hold and interact with the feeling of the spiraling tentacles.

In mankind’s pre-history many images and myths show the intimate relationship with our umbilical cords which also connect to our placenta, the other supportive friend we had in utero. Energy continually moves in a spiral.

The spiraling nature of these dynamics also show up in how we birth ourselves and our projects, and how we deepen into the layers of ourselves. We will do some work with labyrinths to assist the felt sense of this deepening. We will also create our own triskelions.

We will also explore our bellies with a Qi Gong form that spirals and unwinds our guts and deepens our experience of our naval and the felt sense of the phantom umbilical cord that still connects us to our Mother Earth and our roots through our gut connection and our microbiome.
