BIRTH AS INITIATION

It is often seen as a medical condition!


Amrita is an authority about Rites of Passage and Initiation and offers understanding about the importance of life’s transitions.

Birth is one of our biggest life transitions. Both when we are born and also when we give birth.

This three hour workshop is for pregnant women, those who wish to be, and their partners.



Birth marks one of our greatest transitions.

Birth is a natural and miraculous event!
 

It can be a spiritual experience.



Photo: A spontaneous Blessing Way, which is a way to prepare the way for the baby's entry into the world. This happened at a Little Goddesses workshop. All the mums and little girls whispered a welcome to this baby. The baby was born not long after.


Birth is sometimes treated as a medical condition... an illness.

Amrita has worked with many women who lament - I have had children and it feels like I never ghave birth. This is often because medical intervention, which is sometimes life saving and sometimes convenient, takes away conscious awareness about this miraculous process. Pain killing drugs, cesaurian section, induction, forcepts all interfer with nature's plan and your and your baby's innate wisdom.


Birth can only offer an initiation like experience if all aspects of it are made conscious.

You can examine where you are before conception, the conception itself - asking yourself what are you attracting, what happens in the liminal space, the time in between (the pregnancy), the birthing process and where you find yourself afterwards.


In this workshop you can:
* BECOME CLEAR about how you would like the birth of your baby to be
* EMPOWER YOURSELF and listen to YOUR body rather than the voices of others
* MAKE CHOICES that serve both you and your baby
* EXPLORE the UNCONSCIOUS FEARS you have that may disempower during the
    birth of your baby
* BE AWARE of the options you have
* EXPERIENCE your baby’s birth as an Initiation into womanhood.

Put the gift of your baby's birth back into your own hands.
