The Biology of Spiritual Birth Workshop – May 2012

Marianne Littlejohn will be presenting her workshop, “The Biology of Spiritual Birth” in Johannesburg on Sunday the 6th of May 2012, to be held at Genesis Clinic in Saxonwold, Johannesburg.

This full-day workshop examines the neurological foundations of pregnancy and birth. Of particular importance is how early trauma affects the birth process and the workshop will include important information that will apply to all our practises, now or in the future.

Topics Covered During the Workshop:

• Marianne will present a summary of the neurophysiological foundations of the autonomic nervous system function, which is the part of the nervous system most strongly involved in the labour and birth process.
• We will also discuss the sympathetic and parasympathetic responses, now joined by a third response, that of the attachment and social communication response according to the polyvagal theory.
• There will be a birth simulation exercise to show the connections between how we are born and how we respond to being with women during labour and birth.
• The impact of the primal experiences of the baby before and during birth on culture, the social structure and the future of humanity.
