I was blessed and honored to be a part of the first Sacred
Pregnancy Retreat in Ojai, California this weekend, and to become a certified
Sacred Pregnancy instructor.
The strong and beautiful women that gathered for the retreat
could not have been a more lovely mix of energies and experiences. As we came
together in a circle and looked around the first morning, we knew something
special had drawn us all together. This was not your average collection of
birth workers! Women came from all over California, the United States, and
other countries to gather under the Sacred Pregnancy banner. There were yoga
instructors and doulas, midwives and chiropractors. There were shop owners and
childbirth educators, writers and readers. This aspect was one of many things that
made it different from any experience I have had in the past, as the breadth of
experience was so much wider!
Sacred Pregnancy writer and founder, Anni Daulter, has an
energy that radiates from her in ways words can’t describe. You just want to be
there to soak it up, to draw anything from it you can.
As an added bonus, the retreat site (Ojai Foundation) was
beautiful and inspirational, and the opportunity to commune with nature was one
I don’t take as often as I should.
The retreat itself equips women with the tools to teach the
Sacred Pregnancy classes, which honor expectant mothers and help them to find a
sisterhood to be with them through birth and the journey of motherhood. I can
barely contain my excitement to share this beautiful program with the women of
my community. I know I will be channeling the energy of this weekend every time
I bring this experience to a new group of women.
For birth workers called to facilitating these workshops, I
could not recommend it enough. I am so honored to have been a part of the first
group, and can’t wait to participate in future retreats as a level two! Hope to
see you there!
