This bold, compassionate, experiential workshop quickly cuts through assumption and old ways of thinking, freeing participants to envision and enact an inspiring new paradigm for birth preparation and finding new meaning in every birth story.

When we really listen to mothers tell their birth stories, we know in our bones that more information, more technology, and more "trying to get it right" has not, and will not, make mothers birth normally or awaken their inner-Love Warrior. The Love Warrior is the inner-voice that can be likened to internalizing a nurturing parent; it is the part of ourselves that never abandons or judges our self when things go "wrong."

For decades, intellectual and outcome-focused preparation has given parents a superficial and even false sense of knowing and power. Later, if birth does not go as planned, many mothers feel betrayed, powerless and wounded by a birth they could not control. In a way, we could say that many present models of birth preparation inadvertently initiate mothers into birth as a victim's journey.

Pam England offers this new workshop as an antidote to the growing numbers of expectant parents and birth professionals who feel victimized, powerless or betrayed. For them and for the growing number of Seekers (those seeking choices, control, personal and spiritual growth, and meaning in their birth experiences), this innovative and compassionate workshop is designed to awaken important birth energies: Innocence and Trust, the Caretaker, Huntress and Love Warrior.
