Course Description

During the course we will explore how intense and significant experiences during our prenatal and birth history can have a tremendous impact in the way we live our lives, even if we are not aware of them. Experiences from gestation to the first 18 months of life are recorded implicitly as non-verbal memories in the form of sensations, movements and emotions leaving an imprint responsible for many of our habits and preferences, even though we aren’t conscious of their origins.

With the help of experiential exercises, we will explore our inner world, attempting to discover some of these imprints and utilize resources to help us understand and integrate our early experiences to create a life of greater joy, freedom and soul expression.

We will bring this understanding to the world of children and learn ways to support them to deal with their early imprints, integrate intense prenatal and birth experiences and find tools in the context of the family and/or school life to help them integrate their experiences. Through play and group dynamics, we offer a safe container where they can be seen and heard. Some tools will be presented to help adults support children to create a coherent narrative of their early experiences that invites integration, self-esteem and soul growth.
