Pam England is coming to Flagstaff and offering three workshops the weekend of February 6, 7, and 8 as a part of her Arizona tour though Flagstaff, Prescott, Phoenix and Tucson. Register through her website or call (805) 964-6611.
Pam England is the author of “Birthing From Within”, a mother, former midwife and an artist with an inspiring new vision.
An evening talk will be offered on Friday, February 6th from 6:30 – 8:30 p in historic downtown Flagstaff and the Saturday and Sunday workshops (9:00 a – 6:00 p) are being held over at the North Country Health Care building off of N 4th St.
England’s Saturday one-day workshop (Birth & Life as a Hero’s Journey) quickly cuts through assumptions and old ways of thinking, freeing participants to envision and enact an inspiring new paradigm for life transitions, birth preparation, and finding new meaning in all of their stories. Pam England poetically and passionately tells beloved, ancient hero myths that parallel our own lives and births. She illustrates the heroine’s journey and outlines the timeless tasks we must complete to achieve personal freedom and spiritual growth. (Contact hours available). More information available.
Sunday’s one-day workshop is called “Birth Story Medicine” and will also be held at North Country Health Care. Women tell their birth stories to be social, to instruct, to brag, and in search of healing. When pregnancy, birth or postpartum are the source of grief, anger, or confusion, then the parent or professional tells their story in search of “medicine,” healing words, a new insight, forgiveness of themselves or another. This workshop revives the nearly forgotten role of the story-listener who listens in such a way she helps the teller heal her own story. Learn how to listen deeply to hear the buried “seed” of the trauma. (Contact hours available). More information available.
The evening talk is $18 in advance and $25 at the door. The one day workshops are each $150 in advance and $175 at the door.
