SUMMARY:Primal Gestures: Moving Birth Stories with Anna Verwaal Hoorn\, Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:PRIMAL GESTURES\nMOVING BIRTH STORIES\nThe Journey that Shapes Our Life\nSeptember 18 & 19\n(Friday & Saturday) \n\nHave you studied with Anna Verwaal?  Have you taken a workshop with Liz Koch and Anna Verwaal?\nThen this workshop is for you!\nExploring Primal Gestures \nREQUIREMENT  TO QUALIFY: \nYou need to have completed: \n1)    A 3-day workshop (or if you have attended one of her lectures you will still need the 2-day floor work) with Anna\, \n2)    Or attended one of our 3 day Stalking Wild Psoas: Womb to World collaborations. \nIf you are not currently eligible you can become qualified by attending  March 20 lecture / March 21 & 22 – Netherlands (Hoorn). Registration coming on her new website soon. Or April 17 lecture / April 18 $ 19 Belgium (Heusden-Zolder) website registration now available. \n\nMore than four decades of findings in the field of pre-and-perinatal psychology has shown that the moment of conception\, the time in our mothers’ womb\, and how we are born are foundational experiences that affect us for the rest of our lives. Our health\, belief system\, fears\, and ability to form healthy relationships are profoundly shaped by early non-verbal\, emotional\, and somatic imprints created during this primal period. \nThis workshop is a follow-up for those of you who have studied with Anna Verwaal and intellectually understand how conception\, prenatal experience\, and birth-related imprints might still play out in your day-to-day life. \nExploring primal gestures is not about “rebirthing” but rather a deep inquiry of  bio-morphic metabolizing that  invites fresh creative impulses ~ reshaping your inner terrain. \nAnna and Liz have taught collaboratively for over 10 years. \nGroup Size: 23 \n\nA creative collaboration: \nInternational Pre & Perinatal Educator Anna Verwaal brings together decades of preconception to post-natal counseling and professional work experience in all areas of maternal-child health. Anna weaves her extensive personal and professional experience\, with her stunning photography and storytelling to help laypersons and professionals in understanding the long-term effects of conception\, womb-time\, birth and early postnatal experience in order to discover how these experiences might still be affecting a person physically\, emotionally\, and relationally. Her insight is invaluable in awakening our core awareness. \nInternational Author & Somatic Educator Liz Koch exploring primal gestures with core expression is a creative unfolding of somatic expressions. Liz brings her 45 years as a somatic educator to encourage integration and innovation. Using subtle primal movements we’ll begin to dissolve personal 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 insistent patterns reveal your life assumptions\, strategies\, and desires. Using micro-movement and sound-breath you’ll access fluid movements to dissolve\, integrate\, and awaken. Revitalizing the very core of your being to restore and nourish our full capacity for becoming dynamic\, creative\, heartfelt beings. \nBiographies:\nAnna Verwaal\, RN\, CLE is a maternal-child health nurse\, conscious conception & birth consultant\, primal period educator\, midwife & doula instructor\, UCLA certified lactation educator and birth photographer from the Netherlands.  After a 25-year nursing career in various countries in obstetric\, pediatric\, neonatal hospital care\, and home-health settings\, working with families and babies as an educator/consultant Anna started her own private birth consulting practice. Anna is the presenter of a TEDx Talk by the same name\, travels internationally giving lectures to groups and conventions\, as well as offering workshops to professionals and laypeople about the long-term effects of the conception/prenatal/birth experience\, the hormonal physiology of childbirth\, breastfeeding\, bonding\, and the deeply psychological\, emotional and spiritual aspects of giving birth. Anna is a long-term member of APPPAH\, the Association of Pre and Perinatal Psychology & Health. \n\nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness.
