MARCH, 2008

Monday, March 17, 6:30pm  -  MOVIE NIGHT!     

Location:   Peapods Studio Space, 251 Snelling Ave. S., St. Paul

FEATURED FILM:

WHAT BABIES WANT : An Exploration of the Consciousness of Infants

This timely and heart-opening film brings together ground-breaking information about what babies truly are, what they know, and how we can support them to be their best as they develop and grow. The experiences we have at our births sets up our perceptive neurology and influences the way we perceive the events of our lives. These early interactions shape our human ability to learn, to trust, and to develop relationships as we grow older.

The film is alive with captivating stories and remarkable personal experiences of infants, children, and adults. It is warmly narrated by Noah Wyle who, with his wife Tracy, shares with us their passion for deeper understanding and awareness of what a baby truly is. What Babies Want looks into cutting-edge science, ancient cultures and traditional customs in search of ways to keep our children's spirits intact.

"The feeling of belonging is so important to everyone. Cutting edge research is indicating that infants are awake and aware, and they know if they are wanted. They need a nurturing environment. They want to know that they are coming into a place where they belong, where they are loved, and where they can give their own love. We see the psychological damage in too many adults who are not met in this way, and have spent their adult lives searching to heal their loss.

If we offer babies and children a world that wants them, believes in them, and trusts them -- if we change our own ideas about what babies want, about what people want, perhaps we can bring more hope, more love, and more healing into the world."

-- Noah Wyle, Actor

The Light & Dark Sides of Childbirth: Healing Adults, Babies & Children

Location:   To Be Announced      Fee:  $20 in Advance/$25 At the Door

Dr. Emerson will describe five major causes of birth trauma and the potential for trauma in giving birth, in being born, and in assisting or attending birth. He shows treatment segments with babies and children, and describes a new childbirth paradigm, one that meets the medical and psychological needs of mothers and babies, makes appropriate use of the maternity care system, empowers parents, promotes informed choices, prevents trauma, and supports birth as a spiritual as well as a physical journey.

April 25-27, 7:00pm  -  THREE-DAY WORKSHOP

The Light & Dark Sides of Childbirth: Healing Adults, Parents & Childbirth Professionals

Location:   To Be Announced       Tuition: $510 (meals and lodging, if needed, are additional)

Using multimedia material from his upcoming book, Healing Mothers and Children: The Light and Dark Sides of Childbirth (Stonebrook Publishing, Oct. 2008), Dr. Emerson describes potential trauma in giving birth, in being born, and in assisting or attending birth. He documents the incidence of birth trauma in mothers and babies, as well as birth professionals, and describes ways they may be traumatized without knowing. 

All participants will be evaluated for unresolved birth trauma, informed of potential life impacts (on relationships, intimacy, sexuality, career, self esteem, and spirituality), guided in regression therapy sessions to heal, and supported in important life changes. Parents and birth professionals (obstetricians, nurses, midwives, lactation consultants, doulas, etc.) will be supervised in learning straightforward and non-invasive evaluation methods, as well as safe and constructive interventions.

Monday, April 28 -  PRIVATE CONSULTATIONS

Location:   To Be Announced      Sliding Scale Fees - $110 and $190/hour

Dr. Emerson is available for a one-day follow-up for private consultations or personal sessions.  Priority is given to those who attend the lecture or participate in the workshop. On-site registration required for one-hour personal and professional consults.

MAY,  2008

Monday, May 21, 2008 - MOVIE NIGHT

Location:   Peapods Studio Space, 251 Snelling Ave. S., St. Paul

FEATURED FILM: (Back by popular demand!)

BIRTH AS WE KNOW IT

At a time when our cultural images of birth reflect a great deal of fear and pain, Birth As We Know It is filled with inspiring images of what the natural course of birth looks like - without "management" and intervention - with support, trust, and even PLEASURE, and guided by a mother's inner knowing.

The movie, directed by Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova, one of the co-creators of the "Conscious Birth" movement in Russia in the early 1980s, features eleven natural births, including home births, water births, birth of twins, breech delivery and an astounding self-birth. The midwife community calls this film "the most profound and comprehensive guide to conscious birth in the world."Also featured are informative interviews on topics rarely discussed, such as the sexuality of childbirth, circumcision and limbic imprinting, which are presented in a sensitive, inspirational way.

Vladimirova believes that her documentary offers an opportunity to create a profound shift in the world by showing the significant impact that the conscious birth experience has on the parents and the newborns. She gently states that, "humans have always had access to the most profound way of healing through bringing new life into this world. We can now reconnect with our source and give birth naturally, the way we, as a species, have always known."

Bring a friend, and join us for an enjoyable evening of beautiful images, enlightening conversation and community-building.
