Two Options in Your Womb Surround Session

As a participant in a womb surround retreat you'll be asked about your intention for your turn. "What would you like to walk away with?" I'll ask. "And how will having this change your life going forward?"

In other words, as you live into your future as the adult you are now, what is the value of working with young experience you had long ago?

Yes, there's a big wound there that returns over and over in some patterned way, and you want to find a way to heal it. The healing is usually found in opening to just the edge of feeling this wound within the attuned field we create together as a group of 6 or 7 people in the surround. Our entire somatic system knows how to heal when we do this. And it's important we do this from the adult awareness we now have—we're no longer that child we once were, though we may still feel that early experience, however painful it was.

Sometimes we can't yet work so much from present time awareness. The weight of the past gets in the way. Instead we need to inquire and discover more about what is happening, to learn to differentiate between present and past. Sometimes we need simply to learn what happened back then in order to have a more coherent story around it. Our bodies remember what happened and can reveal what we are now ready to feel, even if it was too overwhelming back then.

So when attending a womb surround retreat there can be a choice:

🌿 To touch the past in order to step forward creating a life more free from the past.

OR

🌿 To touch the past in order to know more about what happened and feel it held along with supportive peers in a healthier way than originally occurred.

We always do the best we can, with care and heart.
