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

Birth Into Being

Limbic Clearing Workshop

Arc Hall, Hoathly Hill, West Hoathly, East Grinstead,

West Sussex, RH19 4SJ

Sunday, 20th of February

10am-7pm

The Limbic Imprint is like the ‘Black Box’ of our lives. It holds together with the Nervous System and the memory of all that we have seen, thought, heard, and felt in our lives; it holds the underlying beliefs that have driven us since birth.

These can be replaced through the processes of working on a cellular level, which will release old patterns. This revolutionary therapy works ‘Beyond the Brain’ and is easy and extremely effective.

As parents we have the responsibility to avoid passing on negative behavioral patterns to our children, as they inherit our consciousness as much as they do our genetic imprint. The process will help give your children the chance to start life with a ‘clean slate’.

‘The way we were born, defines the quality of our experience of being alive’

- Elena Tonetti, Birth as we know it & Birthing into Being

£85 for the day, plus £5 for lunch

Limbic Imprint Clearing

Based on Elena Tonetti's 'Birthing Into Being'

http://www.birthingintobeing.com/

'The way we are born, defines the quality of our experience of being alive'

We hold our belief systems and the experiences of our life in our body.

The Limbic Imprint holds all the experiences since our birth. We can be formed by our past and let it affect in how we think, feel and act. It forms our basic belief systems, habits and behavioural patterns. Held experience can also lead to illness, imbalance, and generally lowered quality of life.

During this workshop you will have the opportunity to clear whatever thoughts, feelings or habits you may have held over your life time.

Dates: November 20th-21st

Location: Arc Hall, Hoathly Hill, West Hoathly, East Grindstead, West Sussex, RH19 4SJ

Date: November 27th-28th

Birthing Moon Celebration!

Little Dippers, 40 Upper Gardner St, Brighton

Saturday, November 20th, 6-8pm

The Birthing Moon Celebration is an opportunity for expecting mum's to come together and celebrate their final stages of pregnancy; suitable from 38-43 weeks.

As many of you know the moon is responsible for regulating our oceans tides, but what you may not know is that our bodies consist of 80-90% water. The theory is that the moon's gravitational pull also effects the waters in the sea, rivers, otherwise in our body. By harnessing the natural power of the moon, it offers the expecting mother the opportunity to tune into her body and to connect with the natural forces she has at her disposal.

The evening will consist of holistic and natural approaches to prepare the body. During the evening we will cover visualisations, meditations, breathing and yoga postures in preparation for labour and birth. We will also explore various ways to naturally produce oxytocin through movement, massage, and other activities to excite and stimulate labour.

Please contact Kyla on #07817776491 by the Thursday the 18th of Nov with an expression of interest.

The event has been made possible with the love and support of the following local businesses..

Yoga Mamas: http://www.yogamamas.com/

Innerlight Pregnancy: http://www.innerlightpregnancy.com/

Neal's Yard: http://www.nealsyardremedies.com/
