REGISTRATION FOR THIS WEBINAR IS NOW CLOSED. Stay tuned for our next offering!
This 90-minute webinar, led by Pam England (author of "Labyrinth of Birth" and "BIRTHING FROMWITHIN"), will introduce you to the labyrinth of birth.
During this special interactive presentation, you will fall in love with the ancient universal symbol of the Labyrinth as a map for the childbearing year.
What IS a Labyrinth? How do you draw one? How is it relevant to childbirth preparation? All this, and much much more, will be covered in this live multi-media class with Pam.
In this webinar, you will see labyrinths from around the world, as well as ones that Pam and parents have made. Pam will explain a bit about the history of labyrinths, and show you, step-by-step, how to draw one. You will also learn how to use the labyrinth as a way to prepare for and cope with the intensity and unknowns of birth. Parents in our classes love to make them and rave about how much their labyrinths helped them in labor. It is optional (but recommended) that you read the "Labyrinth of Birth" before our gathering. You can buy it online, order it from your local bookstore, or purchase it through our website.
If you are a pregnant woman or couple, consider this a personal class with Pam England in her living room. Enter into her exploration of the Labyrinth of Birth and enrich your preparation for birth. Birth professionals and anyone interested in the power of the childbearing year are also welcome to attend!
Space is limited: sign-up now to save your spot!
