PREGNANCY : THE INNER JOURNEY
PREGNANCY : THE INNER JOURNEY
an experience that has far reaching consequences
and effects on the newborn, the Mother and the whole family.
Birth is a rite of passage
and by its very nature it provides the way in for
a woman to know her inner strength and inner knowing
- vital ingredients for mothering.
Mothers are gifted through birth not only with
their beautiful babies
but with a new look at
their Divine selves.
Birth teaches us where we're at with the
fundamentals of life such as surrender, letting go
and trust.
The best preparation for birth is a conscious
pregnancy,
spending time contemplating and updating
your inner beliefs and attitudes,
and connecting with your baby inside you,
hearing
the voices
feeling the feelings, seeing the visions
all the
while developing your natural mothering essence. 
Women travel new territory with each pregnancy, learning from their previous pregnancies and births and about themselves as Mothers. Birth is a rite of passage each time as we become the perfect mother for our growing family.
We shall sit on cushions in a circle, pregnant women, mothers and midwives.
We shall use ritual, voice and art to compliment information sharing that will help us understand why we think and act the way we do.
We will look deeply at the sexuality and spirituality of pregnancy, birth and mothering.
We will learn meditation, tools for labor and beautiful rituals to perform to honor pregnancy, birth and mothering.
We shall explore the inner journey of pregnancy and come to know ourselves more fully through this process, preparing for our potential birth and mothering from our most in-tune and empowered center.
We will invoke the ancient Goddesses our Foremothers did, for their guidance, nurturance, protection and support. We will do what women have been doing together longer than we haven't -
sit together in support of each other sharing our innate wisdom focusing on the beauty and strength of Mother.
