The Calling. Looking at the participant's connection to the birth process - articulating,
re-discovering and expanding this vital inner sense.
The Body Systems. The known and the "unknown" - the physical and spiritual bodies. Examining experiences that demonstrate these systems. Looking at the inter-relationship between them and how this understanding aids the resolution of difficulties that can manifest during pregnancy and birth. A model based on the four elements will be presented and explored - EARTH, FIRE, WATER and AIR.
Altered States of Consciousness. Defining these and learning about the healing available in these states. De-mystifying them and learning how to access them, a VITAL tool for the birth attendant/doula. Seeing how they are important part of a woman's well-being during pregnancy, birth and post-partum.
Left Brain, Right Brain. How entering right brain spaces facilitates the birth process. How engaging the left brain inappropriately inhibits labour. The place of birth and the practices/rituals that aid or hinder the process.
Birth as Part of the Continuum. Seeing the interconnections of a woman's psycho/sexual life and its influence on birth outcomes. These rhythms of life affect all of us and our ability to respond appropriately. The honouring of these rhythms provides the impetus needed for the natural process to occur.
With Woman. We examine the forces present for the woman and her carers that aid or inhibit the birth process and the interpersonal relationships that occur in different situations. The allegiances, conscious and unconscious, that exist. Who has the power?
