Our friend and mentor Becky Purpur has spoken at our retreats about the power of Family Constellation work. She speaks highly of her friend and facilitator Ross Goodine, who is a Family Constellation Therapist.
Ross will be in Reddeer to do a full day constellation workshop. This is a unique opportunity to witness and take part in the transformative and healing power of Family Constellation work.

Ross's work is multi faceted. He is a Birth into Being facilitator, a counselor, an entrepreneur, and a Family Constellation Therapist.
What is Family Constellation Therapy?
Family Constellation therapy is a short-term group intervention that helps identify and address patterns and conflicts within family systems.
Unrelated group members will represent family members and play out dynamics related to the issue. This process aims to reveal hidden influences from the past, allowing for healing and resolution of unconscious patterns.
If you would like to join us, reach out to myself Jennifae Dawn Coburn or to Becky.
Car pool options from Calgary to Red Deer available!

The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mental Health Week at the beginning of May takes on a particular significance this year.

AN
INTENTION
FOR
GATHERING.
🌹🌹🌹
We are envisioning the world as we wish it to be, because we work with pregnant women and a world of hopelessness is doing nobody any good at all.

Pregnant women are VISIONARIES.

Their hearts and minds are expanded even more than their wombs.

They can conjure. Make magic. Create spells. Clear energy. Contain LIFE.

We are here for that. We are calling in space and ability to do the MOTHER WORK together as it was always meant to be.

And as we envision, we plan.

Planning + having a picture of what it will look like is a step to making manifest.

It’s time to set intentions for SACRED PREGNANCY RETREAT 18.

The next gathering where our community of mothers heal, feel, are heard, seen and elevated.

Mirroring power back to them.

A loop of mothers passing prayer, hope and wisdom back and forth.

Sacred space creation,
The Body as Earth,
The Art of being witness and the witnessed,
Relationships in pregnancy,
Fear release,
Forgiveness for freedom,
Being Honoured,
Sacred Postpartum practices and prep
And
Sisterhood.

Ritual, ceremony, feasting, resting, laughing, crying... this is all a peek.

Our next offering is being envisioned nestled somewhere beautiful.

This will be a professionally catered event and will last from Friday evening until Monday morning.

We will open only 6 spaces for intimacy.

Intention: MAY 28/29/30.

The weekend investment for this retreat is $650.

Right now we are taking applications only for those who want to reserve a space with intention that small gatherings will be on the table once again.

Please email sacredpregnancyyyc@gmail.com

As we will it,
So shall it be.

Part 2 of: .
W H Y •W E • G A T H E R.

There are 8 distinct parts to our Sacred Pregnancy Retreat, but each section merges rather seamlessly with heightening levels of connection.

After a swift break from the very first portion of the weekend, chatter is beginning to rise a little. Some speak up, some remain quiet and watchful. But glances are being exchanged back and forth, women may now be finding their safe person, the one who they will subconsciously be connecting with on a deeper level. Others may be finding themselves in a more motherly role, overseeing the group. Characters are peeking out from behind previously cautious eyelids and sparkles in pupils are becoming evident.

CONNECTIONS & EXPECTATIONS are being introduced.

We, as space holders, encourage it further. We midwife the group through this further expansion into self and space exploration. After this segment, there is a definite feeling that there is no going back.

As contractions pick up in the birth journey, so it is with the surges of emotion during this hour of the weekend.

Spots in this late summer retreat are almost gone. If you want to be a part of it, take a look at the link in comments for more details and registration.

Join us for 5 days of:
W H Y •W E • G A T H E R .
There are 8 distinct parts to our Sacred Pregnancy Retreat, but each section merges rather seamlessly with heightening levels of connection.
On the first day, as we gather in circle, most of the women are a palpable mixed bag of anticipation, nerves, and heightened sense of awareness; much like the build up to birth, she is keenly cognizant of the fact that what is going to occur in the next little while will likely alter her perception of what she has been traversing. These are the hours of laboring down; keen sensory faculties, alert and awaiting. .
We begin to cosy in by bringing down the energy, getting focused and starting to acquaint ourselves with one another. CREATING SACRED SPACE, a safe container for anything and all that will unfurl is paramount. Oxytocin rich. The lights are soft, one way or another; winter months find a fire casting a hue and when the summer days are upon us, we find shade from the heat but bask in blasts of light rays.
The first hours of the weekend are about setting the scene, crafting a foundation and bringing in the wisdom of ancestors and all the women before us.
Anticipatory. But solid.
There are 2 spaces left in this weekends Autumnal Sacred Pregnancy 17 retreat. If you want to be a part of it, take a look at the events for more details and registration.

🔻S A C R E D P R E G N A N C Y

R E T R E A T 17 🔻
Out, out, out the Mother goes, out to serve the world but maybe...maybe she is so immersed in the outside that forgets about herself.

Her own healing.

What she needs.

What she desires.

How to nourish her own dreams, how own body, her own spirit.

Time is up for that. The work of the Mother can no longer be rooted in Martyrdom; it’s serving no-one.

In the quest to serve herself, she may choose community who feed her back.

Feed in to her needs, dreams, desires.

Nourish her with listening ears and sharing heart.

We have a space for you.

It isn’t about breath for birth, it’s about healing the earth and that starts with the Mama.

It’s about the creation of sacred space, connecting with the feminine internally and around us, looking into eyes, feeling heartspaces, being witnessed in our embodiment, reviewing relationships, releasing deep seated fears, feasting, burning, body movement, ceremony, ritual...it’s ancient. Like birth. Like Earth.

It’s a return to the Womb.

There are 2 spaces left in circle, one overnight space included in that.

We will gather in circle around an altar and get way past birth breath and into the death of anxieties. Into the truth of autonomy.

And we will laugh and we will cry.

September 5th and 6th,
9-6pm each day.
$450 accommodated.
$400 unaccomodated.
All meals and supplies included.

Just show up bravely.

We are ready.

Womxn are so tired of hearing this. Literally tired of + from it.

It is EXHAUSTING for womxn to feel the pain of loss + anger around their birth experience, to have those emotions prevalent in their bodies, to deal with the physical, hormonal, emotional and spiritual after effects of a traumatic journey, to have 1000 questions + no answers or only be given emotionally unavailable ones.

It’s exhausting for mothers to hear this statement projected onto them + then try to integrate it within themselves as their own truth because they would be ‘selfish’, ‘ungrateful’ not to.

‘All that matters is that the baby is healthy’ is an old paradigm answer that does not pay attention to the manner in which a Rite of Passage was walked.
It belongs to humanity who were taught not to make a fuss + be grateful for what they have with no recognition of what they feel they have lost. It leaves no room for the full spectrum of feelings that accompany healing.

The consequence of being raised in such a way is a society who feel unequipped to deal with the grieving heart.

Too nervous to look a person in the eye + listen to all the twisted tales,
all the gnarly details,
to sit on a sofa opposite a raging womxn, saying nothing, as she cries hot tears from the trenches + pieces together her story along with a fractured spirit.

We’ve never been taught how to be present with reality.

And with that in mind, we don’t shame those who have offered this diluted, programmed response to a mother.

It was probably well-meaning.
Now we hone in on well-being + it begins with quitting the bypassing of Mothers’ grieving hearts + allowing her to come apart.

From base, she rises.
