Healing from Birth Trauma: A workshop
If you have experienced a difficult or traumatic birth and are ready to begin processing and healing from that event, this workshop is for you. Please note this is NOT an ICAN sponsored event.
What: This four-hour workshop focuses on accessing the inner strength of a woman to begin or fortify her healing process. Participants share their birth experiences, using tools such as birth art, journaling, self-reflection, discussion, and ceremony. The workshop incorporates resources from Pam England (Birthing from Within) and her work with Laborynths as well as the power of community drumming. Unlike traditional group support formats, the focus of this workshop is self-reflection and drawing out inner strength. No art or music experience is necessary - all materials and instruments will be provided. This workshop is intended to be used in conjunction with other resources for trauma healing.
When: Saturday, August 7th, 12 PM to 4PM, Vienna, VA.
Who: Kristen Marsh and Artis Mooney have teamed up to teach this unique workshop. Kristen has a Masters in Public Health from UC Berkely and is a trained nutritionist. She has extensive experience in maternal and child health and nutrition and has worked internationally before becoming a mother. She is now a Bradley Method® Natural Childbirth educator and mother of two and has been teaching new mothers about breastfeeding, nutrition and birth for 17 years. Artis is an accomplished artist and mother of two. She has been teaching visual and performing arts for over 17 years and is trained in a wide variety of media. Artis earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in mixed media from Corcoran College of Art + Design in 2002, shortly after the birth of her first child. She now works as a professional photographer, artist, and drumming and dance teacher. Artis believes wholeheartedly in the healing and transformative power of the arts.
Cost: $75.00 for workshop including materials. $25 deposit required in advance. Due to the intimacy of the issue, space is limited to a maximum of 5 participants.
