Retreat 2022



BIRTH GUARDIAN RETREAT

May 20, 21 and 22, 2022
 La Bartra, Tarragona

A healing and spiritual journey connecting soul and science to improve birth outcomes.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
~ J.R.R. Tolkien 

Frodo, in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, confides to Gandalf that he wishes the task of returning the cursed ring had fallen to someone else and the wizard reminds Frodo that no one gets to dictate what challenges they face. Rather than lamenting unavoidable hardships, time is better spent focusing on the choices within our control and making our time on Earth meaningful.

Birth Guardians heighten their awareness first, then set their intentions. Healing happens when awareness and intention combine, leading us to conscious and connected choices about how we care for ourselves and our loved ones, and the way we do our job as birth care providers.

Join us as we explore the latest science in quantum physics, neurology, psychology, immunology, hypnosis, and the evidence of how the human brain wires for centered, curious, compassionate communication. 

By experiencing techniques that help you become calm, centered, peaceful, and relaxed any time you choose, you can easily share these proven methods with your clients during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. 

Together we can consciously create new ways of helping women and intentionally change our approach to pregnancy, labor, birth, and parenting to achieve better outcomes, less trauma, happier mothers, and healthier newborns. 

Please join us for three exciting and fun-filled days of exploration, movement, music, and exercises for mind, body, and spirit.  

A wonderful retreat in contact with nature, to nourish yourself and discover, through a journey of healing and spirituality, and scientific learning, how to connect soul and science to improve birth outcomes.
 
Activities will include: master classes, yoga, meditation, hypnosis, self-discovery exercises, talks, free time for nature walks and self-reflection, meals in community and more! (a more detailed agenda will be provided soon).
