"First Breath" is a unique, 21 Day on-line program designed to delve deep into the imprints left by our birth experiences, exploring how these imprints affect various aspects of our lives including relationships, parenting, work and overall well-being.
Our birth experiences can significantly impact us in both the short and long term and while understanding this on an intellectual level is valuable it is the body that truly keeps the score.
Into what surrounded our first breath of life outside the womb while learning the philosophy and somatic tool of rebirthing breathwork.
This program offers a holistic approach to understanding birth experiences, integrating spiritual, emotional, and ancestral aspects for personal growth and transformation.
We invite all people into this work as we believe reclaiming birth is integral to changing the fabric of our societies, however we extend a particular invitation to people working in the birth realm (both in and outside the system), parents or those planning to bring children into the world, practitioners and aspiring practitioners.
Participants explore their own birth stories and how different types of births can leave unique imprints on individuals. The normalisation of violence in birth.
How imprints from birth can shape personality traits developed as coping mechanisms.
How wounds can be passed down unconsciously through ancestral lines and support in alchemising this into connection and purpose.
Learn how the breath can unlock and release memories stored in the body, integrating them for healing.
We emphasize the importance of forgiving oneself and practicing deep love for our humanity.
Through meditation, breath and reflection, we explore the circumstances surrounding conception, gestation, and first breath, examining the beliefs formed and the presence of individuals at that time.
Participants explore their connection or disconnection from source/lineage at birth and work towards healing these wounds.
The program addresses the disconnection from the Earth and offers methods for reparenting ourselves.
It discusses attachment wounds stemming from colonization, including separation from land and disconnection from land-based ancestors.
