Birth Into Being

Hello Kindred Sister,

​

We invite you to come to the healing waters of Big Sur and to immerse yourself into the healing waters within. On August 4-6th, we are offering a deep dive into the ocean of healing, transforming the past around our birth stories to rebirth yourself anew.  

 

During this experiential workshop, you will go beyond cognitive understanding into your energetic, emotional, and sensorial experience of the world. We will be using a unique blend of techniques to reconnect with our original selves and with our bodies. It can be helpful if you can learn as much as possible about the circumstances of your conception and birth beforehand. Come prepared to experience breath work, dance, drama therapy, shadow work, guided visualization, and somatic healing as we journey to reclaim our energy and potential, our rebirth.

 

About the work:

During our retreat we will be working with a curriculum that was developed by Elena Tonetti in the Birth Into Being method. You will begin by working with the stories of how you were born (both collectively and individually) as a jumping off point for the way your nervous system has been imprinted and for its subsequent re-wiring. In addition, the curriculum will include somatic techniques such as neurodrama, NLP, EFT, as well as breath and energy work. I encourage you to acquaint yourself with the history of this method!

 

Facilitators: 

Yuli Smirnova will be facilitating this weekend workshop, with the gracious support of Grace and Duke in Jenny’s lovely Big Sur home. This will be an intimate women’s only workshop to cultivate a nurturing and safe space for us to dive deep together.

Yuli Bio: 

Wellness, healing, spirituality and mental health and transformation have been a part of my path the majority of my life. I began as a cycle breaker within my own family, working through the chains of generational trauma, doing the shadow work, and bringing truth to light. The Birth Into Being method entered my sphere of awareness in 2011 when I was studying to be a birth worker, and became a modality I was certified to facilitate in 2015. I have been working within the birthing field ever since. I love this work for the ways in which it has allowed me to heal my own pain and rewrite my story, as well as for the honor of being called to witness and facilitate the healing and transformation of so many others. I’m deeply grateful for Graces invitation to collaborate in offering this work to the women in our respective and shared communities.
