First Breath: LIVE 8 week guided intensive
"First Breath" is a unique, intensive 8-week on-line program designed to delve deep into the imprints left by our birth experiences, exploring how these imprints affect various aspects of our lives including relationships, parenting, work and overall well-being.
Our birth experiences can significantly impact us in both the short and long term and while understanding this on an intellectual level is valuable it is the body that truly keeps the score.
Over 8 Sunday afternoons we will dive deep into what surrounded our first breath of life outside the womb while learning the philosophy and somatic tool of rebirthing breathwork.
The program intersects the physiology of birth, birth from a pre colonial Māori world view and rebirthing breath work. It is through this unique lens that we will cover:
Understanding Your Birth Story: Participants explore their own birth stories and how different types of births can leave unique imprints on individuals. The normalisation of violence in birth.
Development of Personality Types: How imprints from birth can shape personality traits developed as coping mechanisms.
Ancestral attachment wounds: How wounds can be passed down unconsciously through ancestral lines and support in alchemising this into connection and purpose.
Techniques for Memory Release: Learn how the breath can unlock and release memories stored in the body, integrating them for healing.
Radical Self-Forgiveness and Inner Child Reclamation: We emphasize the importance of forgiving oneself and practicing deep love for our humanity.
Exploration of Conception, Gestation, and First Breath: Through meditation, breath and reflection, we explore the circumstances surrounding conception, gestation, and first breath, examining the beliefs formed and the presence of individuals at that time.
Connection with Source/Lineage and Healing from Disconnection: Participants explore their connection or disconnection from source/lineage at birth and work towards healing these wounds.
Healing the Mother Wound and Reparenting: The program addresses the disconnection from the Earth and offers methods for reparenting ourselves.
Addressing Ancestral Attachment Wounds: It discusses attachment wounds stemming from colonization, including separation from land and disconnection from land-based ancestors.
Birth Physiology and Modern Practices: Participants examine the colonization of birth and how modern birth practices may affirm ancestral attachment wounds.
Rites and Initiations for Healing: The program underscores the importance of rites and initiations in healing and maturing as individuals and as a species.
Also included in this course:
Weekly breath work sessions and seminars online.
Weekly PDF's and audios for at home breathing and processes.
Online community that we will be checking regularly with 24/7 access.
"First Breath" is facilitated by Aimee Aroha and Redlyn Parker of The Liberated Lineage; a co creation that blends Aimee and Redlyn’s unique areas of passion and a combined 20 + years of experience in the therapeutic, community care space.
With six children between them and the full spectrum of birth experiences from deeply traumatic, surgical birth to family centred free birth the knowledge we bring is deeply embodied. Aimee and Redlyn sit in very different seasons on the child bearing continuum, Aimee is deep in mothering four young children while Redlyn is about to become a grandmother having raised her two now adult children.
They bring a blend of experience in traditional counselling, birth work, rebirthing breath work therapy and cultural, ancestral wisdom.
This program offers a holistic approach to understanding birth experiences, integrating spiritual, emotional, and ancestral aspects for personal growth and transformation.
We invite all people into this work as we believe reclaiming birth is integral to changing the fabric of our societies, however we extend a particular invitation to people working in the birth realm (both in and outside the system), parents or those planning to bring children into the world, practitioners and aspiring practitioners.
This is a birth course unlike any other.
We will gather every Sunday at 3pm AEDT for 8 consecutive weeks.
Start Date: Sunday March 25th AEDT
