The Art of Pregnancy

The Art Of Pregnancy
An 8 week evening class to unearth the treasures of pregnancy

It is not just our bodies that become more fluid during our pregnancies. It has been found that women are more psychic and intuitive during pregnancy and we all know that we become more sensitive and emotional! We could put this new emotional world down to ‘just the hormones’, or we could dive into this experience with other women and see what treasures lie beneath the surface.
Pregnancy is one of the best times in our lives to spring clean this house that is our own Self – to dust and paint and polish in preparation for this new life that is coming. Nature has designed it this way – She is willing us to dig deeper!

Is this a birth preparation class? Absolutely! It has been found that how women have entered and been welcomed into the world themselves, how they are feeling about the baby/labour/birth/the father profoundly effects how they birth. We cannot separate this enormously physical process of labour and birth from our emotional world.
The Art of Pregnancy course marries the two.

During the 8 weeks we:

• Look at and understand our own births. We will go through a re-coding process – giving us an opportunity to experience what it is like to have a blissful birth and welcome
  
• Look at and understand our own sexual histories and body image and how they effect birth. We have a chance to celebrate the relationship between sensuality, sexuality and birth.
  
• Have a chance to be heard, to share and to listen to one another - thus building a community of honesty and support that spills into friendship when the babies arrive.
  
• There are opportunities to dance, sing, paint, be silent, talk and breathe: to find our creative way in the context of preparing for the ultimate act of creativity.
  
• A chance to experience our own definition of ‘sacred’ in relation to this process of becoming a mother
