Working with Your Past in A Womb Surround Workshop: Another Way to Put It

In my last article I explained there are basically two choices in participating in a womb surround retreat as you go through your session. Here’s another way to look at the same topic.

As you look toward your future, why spend time with experiences from long ago?

Let’s say there’s a familiar pattern that shows up in your life and relationships, and you want to find a way to heal it.  You tried therapy, meditation, affirmation, conscious communication, yet the pattern persists, and it’s painful.

Most likely, the pain is related to early wounding in your past.

The healing comes from allowing yourself to feel just the edge of the old wounding in the attuned field we create together—a small group of 6 or 7 people. Within this support, your whole somatic system knows how to repair.

When the past feels too heavy or unclear, the first step is an inquiry into what’s happening, teasing apart past from present, or learning more about what originally occurred so your story can come into coherence. The body remembers, and it offers up what you’re finally ready to feel—what was once too much to hold.

And it matters that you do this from the adult awareness you now have. You’re no longer the child who lived through that early experience, even if traces of it still rise in your body.

So in your womb surround sessions, there are two phases:

🌿 To touch the past so you can understand it more fully and have it held—gently, accurately, and with support—in a way it never was.

AND

🌿 To touch the past so you can step forward with more freedom.

Either way, we move with care and heart and together open up new possibilities for your future..
