A Creative Approach to Birth Preparation
Parents experience so many benefits from having Birth Art processes be part of their childbirth preparation - and healing - experiences.
Art-making in prenatal preparation gives each parent the experience of moving out of their “thinking” mind and into their creative, intuitive mind, where they can begin to access deeper beliefs, insights, imagery, and solutions than they could in the ordinary beta-brainwave state of alert consciousness. Thus, parents get a taste of the “Labor Land” mindset, as well as the unconscious mind’s ability to generate unlimited possibilities and solutions for any issues that might arise.
We are excited to offer this course so that you can bring this rich experience to parents. You'll learn the power of focusing on process over product, and how to help parents use birth art as a key piece of their preparation for birth and parenting.
Each week you will experience and embody the Birth Art Process for yourself, as you learn through readings, lessons, assignments, and weekly live video calls.
All calls will be recorded and available to watch later.
