Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb to World Amsterdam Netherlands

The Journey that Shapes Our Life

Taste the Wild Waters of Wholeness

and experience the world in new and curious ways!

Join Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal for this most extraordinary Stalking Wild Psoas Workshop. Womb to World: The journey that shapes our life  is a process oriented workshop combining storytelling, research, and movement. By exploring how each of us is shaped, quite literally, by the field of experience in the womb and therefore of life itself, we will go far beyond our limitations of experience and taste the wild waters of wholeness that is our birthright. Focusing on both the social and personal journey this transformational workshop is for everyone seeking to understand, heal, prevent, and/or resolve their own conception, prenatal, and birth imprints. 

(couples planning to conceive or currently pregnant who wish to consciously give their baby an optimum start in life are also welcome to participate).

This workshop is a collaboration:

Anna Verwaal presents her stunning photography, research, and storytelling. Anna weaves 30 + years of perinatal psychology research and her professional experience to help you understand the long-term effects of your own conception, time in your mother’s womb, and your birth and early post natal experience. Discover how this experience might still be affecting you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If your conception was unplanned, your birth induced, or via emergency C-Section; or you were born with a tight umbilical cord around your neck, you might feel more like you are surviving than thriving in life. But this does not have to be the way. Experience how becoming conscious of your earliest imprints helps to support your human potential, personal relationships, and creative expression throughout life. 

Liz Koch presents embryologically based somatic explorations. Liz brings 40+ years of sensory intelligence to encourage your ability to integrate and innovate. Using subtle primal movements we’ll dissolve dynamics of conception, womb memory, and birth impressions held and expressed within cellular memory without eliciting cathartic reactions. Holding a container of nourishment our prenatal imprints, which may be playing out  in a variety of expressions are able to find resolution. You will discover how insistant patterns reveal our life assumptions, strategies, and desires. Using micro-movement and sound-breath we access fluid movements to integrate and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being restores and nourishes our capacity for becoming creative, heartfelt beings.

Welcome to Core Awareness™

Liz Koch is an international educator and author who seeks to dissolve the objectification of “body” in order to re-conceptualize human beings as biologically intelligent, self-organizing, and self-healing. Employing biomorphic and embryonic paradigms, Liz redefines psoas as smart, expressive tissue that is both elemental and universal.

Core Awareness fosters core integrity and self-efficacy as creative and expressive human beings.

Here at Core Awareness you’ll discover new ways of understanding the psoas. In addition to the blogs there is an educationally rich sourcing free for the taking. Explore my videos, articles, podcasts, interviews, FAQ’s and community links and let yourself go wild!
