Womb Stories- A group for women healing from birth trauma 08/26/2010
1 Comment
 
As women we hold many stories in our wombs. This group led by Mavis Gewant will use mandala, storytelling, meditation and the creative process as a way to heal our stories and create new ones.

Many women suffer trauma as the result of a difficult birth. Perhaps you were mistreated by the staff, felt a lack of support or had an unexpected outcome. In a safe and nurturing environment women will get in touch with their birth trauma and begin the healing journey. The creative process is a valuable tool for transformation, the use of sacred art, writing, guided imagery and telling our stories, will help us heal and move forward.

 Who will benefit:

v Women who are overwhelmed by their birth experience

v Women who had a c-section and want a vbac

v Women who are planning another pregnancy and want to move forward

v Women who are not planning another pregnancy and want to release sorrow in their heart

v Women who are having problems with bonding and nurturing their baby

 
This group will help you:

v Celebrate your wisdom, power and strength

v Release the energy and fear around your birth story

v Experience the power of forgiveness

v Recover trust in yourself

v Learn stress coping techniques

v Reconnect with your baby

6:30-8:45 pm New Paltz
