Coming up this November in Chico, California:

BIRTH INTO BEING BIRTHSHOP & APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING WITH ELENA TONETTI

> LEVEL 1 and/or LEVEL 2 (Two and/or Four-Day): Limbic Imprint Re-coding Birthshop with Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova | RSVP for Location - CHICO, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 12th & 13th OR 12th THROUGH 15th

> LEVEL 1 (Three-Day): Limbic Imprint Re-coding Birthshop with Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova | RSVP for Location - PORTLAND, OREGON - OCTOBER 1st THROUGH 3rd

> LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 (Four-Day): Limbic Imprint Re-coding Birthshop with Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova | RSVP for Location - TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA - OCTOBER 15th THROUGH 18th

LEVEL 1:  Birthshop Level 1 (2 days) $360 per person  ($50 discount for a couple, plus additional $50 discount for early registration a month prior to the event).

The 2-Day Birthshop is for anyone who was born into less than blissful circumstances and would like to change the way it is affecting them in the Present. It is not only for pregnant women, but for all interested in shifting their behavioral patterns. The way we were born defines the quality of our experience of being alive, as shown by 25 years of research in the field of prenatal psychology.  How we access and use our creativity is a reflection of our emotional experiences during our early formative period, from conception through the first years of life. Unfortunately, the great majority of people on our planet were born through suffering, thus "limbically imprinted" to struggle. Read more...

LEVEL 2: Birthshop Levels 1 & 2 (4 days) $700 per person  ($50 discount for a couple, plus additional $50 discount for early registration a month prior to the event)

The 4-Day workshop offers more of the processes and exercises that build on the experiences from Level 1, where the group focused on pre-conception, conception, gestation and birth. On Days 3 and 4 we will focus on what happens afterwards. We’ll create new reference points in the nervous system that will allow a new quality of attention, range of attitudes, perceptions and expanded experience of happiness. From that place, every aspect of life improves - all that we are and do, including the people-making capacity. Read more...

> LEVEL 3 (Ten-Day):  Limbic Imprint Re-coding Birthshop & Apprenticeship Training | RSVP for Location - CHICO, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 12th THROUGH 21st

LEVEL 3:  Apprenticeship Training (10 days) $1500 per person ($100 discount for a couple, plus an additional $100 discount for early registration two months prior to the event)

"The emphasis of this training entails a profound personal alignment with the Birthing Field, and learning the skills of navigating one’s energy within the intensity of situation, whatever the source of intensity is (including giving birth to a child or witnessing one). Also I will teach my techniques and certify the attendants as "Birth Into Being" birthshop facilitators at the end of the 10 day intensive. We now have 64 BIB facilitators in 14 countries.

The certificate will state that after completion of the Apprenticeship, the bearer is qualified to conduct 'Birth Into Being' workshops, of his or her own design - which utilizes the new awareness and skills, yet allows room to bring forth the individual's specific strengths and preferences. It is not 'one size fits all' approach; it is more of a courage and  freedom to be creative and spontaneous.  Working with the Birthing Field does not require a rigid structure, it is the quality of presence that we need to learn.
