Untold; through our voices their stories are heard

A safe space for women to come together to be heard, seen and held as they share their story/stories of pregnancy loss.

This workshop aims to break the stigma around pregnancy loss and give voice to the babies which were never held in their mothers arms. Women will also have the opportunity to reconnect to their bodies through Yin (using mind, breath and stillness), as well as release grief stored in the body through this gentle practice. The workshop will end with a meditation in which women are invited to set their intention to connect to their baby/babies in spirit (it is optional wether you set this intention or perhaps another). This meditation allows the time and space for women to explore/feel/see or sense their soulful connection to their baby in spirit. 

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

This workshop is for women who have experienced pregnancy loss at any stage of pregnancy. This includes miscarriage, ectopic, TMFR or personal reasons, stillborn and newborn deaths. For women to share their babies stories and safely begin, or continue with their healing journey. The workshop is an open age group, welcoming women who may have experienced pregnancy loss, weeks, months, years or decades ago. This workshop is for women with both children earth side and in spirit. This workshop will enable women to use their voice when they may have suppressed it due to shame or fear, reconnect their relationship to their mind and body, release stored emotions/grief and loss. There is also an opportunity to connect to the spirit of their child in a lovingly held space. For women who are curious and want to explore their spiritual/soulful relationship with their spirit baby. Creating a connection that is not just for the day of the workshop, but one they can take into their life. Benefits are connecting with women who may become a support network, be part of the revolution to break the silence/stigma and taboo nature of an experience shared by so many women. To normalise the conversation for women to come, to know they’re not alone. To have the time to consciously reconnect to their body and themselves. To create a connection to their baby in spirit and to learn how to build and maintain that connection over time. 

WHAT TO EXPECT?

[ To be heard ] We begin with a Sharing Circle and an introduction “ Hi my name is Penny, daughter of Tina, granddaughter of Lesley, Nancy & Wanda, mother of Winter etc”. Then women are invited to share their story of pregnancy loss/why they are here today (for women to be heard with out solution or conversation). 

[ To be seen ] Eye Gazing - to be seen with out the labels which can be self-received or projected by others). Each woman will be given an envelope. After each eye gaze (3-5 min) each woman will write what they learnt from the other (positive), or what did they see in the other person on paper. This paper will be put in the other persons envelope for them to keep. When they go home, they will have a collection of messages from other women. 

[ To reconnect ] Yin Practice.The theme of the yin practice will be reconnecting women to their bodies. Women may hold shame, anger and resentment towards their body due to pregnancy loss. This Yin practice will allow them to reconnect lovingly to their bodies whilst also allowing them to release stored grief, emotions and experiences through Mind, Body, Breath and Stillness.
