Journey To Life Soul Level Training
3 Day Advanced Level Training
Friday, July 8th, 9th & 10th

Brighton, 365 Ditchling Rd

This 3 day program is offered to support those who feel called to work with the journey to birth, as existing or future practitioners. This includes midwifery, doula/birth support, pregnancy yoga, naturopathy, cranio-sacral and other natural therapists or anyone working with birth/mothers/children in a supportive capacity.

The training focuses firstly, on anchoring and supporting the unique nature of your soul calling, and secondly, offering a theoretical and practical training in working energetically with the soul to birth.

Those working with the Journey to Life as it expresses itself on Mother Earth now, are supporting the arrival of the souls who will take us through 2012. Let this be the time to transition fully into your body to live your own soul calling.

Certification awarded for completion.

Course Overview:

Day 1 Aligning to Soul Purpose
Listening to our own soul calling, seeing and being seen in the light of your own soul presence and gifts. Anchoring the soul presence more fully into the cellular structure through personal and group energetic work. Exploring how we express our unique soul presence through our physical and energetic bodies. Practicing our sense perceptions and listening in the facilitation of healing/energetic dynamics from this presence and understanding how you hold a unique healing space for others in your work.

What do you bring to your work/ your life that is the gift of your soul and how do you walk this in every moment of your life?

Understanding of the anatomy of the soul anchoring through the hara-line into the physical structure (with the understanding that this is the same process as we anchor more of our soul presence into our bodies as that which is occurring for the soul at birth)

Nourishing and Supporting the Soul
How do we nourish our unique soul essence within our environment, keeping ourselves aligned and expanded (rather than contracted and protected). Understanding how our sensitive energetic fields are naturally 'processing' the world around us and transforming other people's energies. Discovering how we can support our unique way of being in the world so we are not left depleted and overwhelmed. Working with food sensitivities. Understanding the sensitive child soul who is easily overwhelmed by the world and how to support them.

Day 2 Birthing the Soul
An understanding of the energetic dynamics of conception and pregnancy as the soul prepares for the journey into the body.
How do we listen to the call of the soul to birth? Learn to perceive and listen at this level, aligning and harmonizing the soul-level relationship between mother and child
The form and function of the 'etheric womb' and how we can strengthen and support this to hold space for the soul birthing into the physical body
Connecting to the star-aligned consciousness of our children
An understanding of embryological experience and the impact on adult patterning
Disappearing twin and other in-utero experiences
Exploration of womb consciousness and healing the cellular story of the womb, including miscarriage, abortion, violation, and the wounding of the collective feminine consciousness

Day 3 Supporting the Transition into the Body
Supporting the birthing mother/father-and-child consciousness
Accessing and understanding the 'etheric womb of service' (soul contract) held by the doula/midwife/therapist for the souls birthing at this time
Insight into the multi-dimensional nature of our work, harmonizing and aligning the frequencies to support a more awakened consciousness in our newborns
Exploration of the multiple layers of the etheric womb - mother, father, family, community, historic, ancestral, past life, collective, galactic, universal levels
To understand how we carry our 'etheric womb of service' from our own unique soul calling and how to deliver this effectively through our chosen work Throughout the 3 day process we will also be working with sound and visual harmonics to align and harmonize the energies of the group and support cellular integration
