This is directly applicable to most professional practices involving the healing arts.
The space for the workshop is wheelchair accessible.
Vitality, Clarity & Connection: Womb Surround Process Workshop
Vitality, Clarity & Connection: Womb Surround Process Workshop with Eileen Sendrey
What happens to us when we're young is foundational to our mental emotional, physical, health and how we form relationships. An important part of healing as an adult is to receive support for challenge/disruptions in early experience. We can't change the past, but we can change how we relate to that past and how we manifest in the present. In this group work (with up to 6 participants), each participant takes a turn, working with an intention for health. In this turn they discover how early adverse experiences affect behaviors and choices today and how to transform this by gaining access to our own innate intelligence.
Benefits reported by individuals experiencing this work:
- Increased health mentally and emotionally -- particularly in the felt sense of safety and love
- Increased health physically -- digestion, structural benefits and other body functions
- Increased health in immune function and vitality
- Increased sense of peace, feeling grounded and wellbeing
- Healthier response to stress
- Increased connection and sense of belonging in relationships
- Increased clarity in finding ones direction, meaning and purpose in life
- Ability to move through and transform compulsive patterns which hold us back from what we desire in life.

Womb Surround Process Workshop by Susan Hall
Birth Process Workshop, Redwood City, CA
Facilitated by Susan Hall
The intention of a Birth Process Workshop is to create safety in a nurturing small group container in order to do deep healing work.
Participants have the opportunity to heal and re-pattern early experiences and then bring this healing to their current primary relationships. Each participant has a long session to explore her/his/their own physical and emotional patterns from prenatal, birth or early life experiences with support from the whole group.
Sharing of group members, integration and discussion follows each individual session. Not all sessions involve prenatal, birth or attachment themes. Each session is unique and participants may also do important work from other periods of their life. The intention of each participant is the guiding theme for the individual session.
This format was created to support the most powerful transformations that can happen in a safe and nurturing small group. Profound emotional and physical changes can occur when we heal early issues in a safe and supportive space. Principles of safety are followed so that participants can actively support each other through the workshop. The long amount of time together allows integration of material from each of the sessions. Each person also receives a debriefing time, which further supports integration of the session.
Participants need to arrange to attend the entire workshop, as this is important for each person to feel safety and security in the group.

Womb Surround Process Workshop Facilitated by Elsa Asher & Kate White
CO-FACILITATED BY ELSA ASHER, MS, RSCT®, CD(DONA) AND KATE WHITE, MA, CMT, RSCT®, CEIM
This is a small group workshop is based on the work of Ray Castellino, DC (retired), RPP, RCST®. Castellino is a master of sensing into the patterns that can arise from difficulties from the prenatal and perinatal period. He developed a training for a specific form where professionals could learn about the many patterns that can be generally associated with historical trauma, conception, prenatally, birth and attachment in the postpartum period. His observations, somatic skills, and passion for healing early overwhelming events in the nervous system of the families he was seeing came about after he started treating babies. Seeing how families' experiences affected the baby, he began to work with small groups to create a therapy that would help the whole family. The training he still offers creates practitioners in this field. This small group workshop is the product of the training and form he developed. It is ideal for creating a safe container and experiential exploring prenatal and perinatal somatic patterns and your own early history, especially finding places where there is coherency, or health in the nervous system. Using your adult presence, the group consciously creates the blueprint in human development, one of flow, connection, and safety. We offer:
Whole body learning
Experiential interpersonal neurobiology
Embodiment practices to access blueprint in the body
Tools to improve your educational efforts in prenatal and perinatal somatic health
Didactic debriefing for each pattern for integration and understanding
Further resources for learning provided upon request

Fee for this workshop is $725, due one month before the surround, by February 5, 2020

For more information contact Kate White, 434-996-2002, katercst@gmail.com
ABOUT THE EARLY PERIOD AND SMALL GROUP LEARNING
The foundation of the Womb Surround Process Group is that whatever happens for the developing baby inside the mother is influenced by what went on around him or her as well has what organically arises in the womb. There are many examples of how this can show up in an adult, including
Our ancestral influences
How we are conceived, and into what time, place or feeling state in our parents
In utero development, including the events, feelings and emotions of the family around the developing baby
Birth process
Postpartum events, especially separations
Attachment patterns
A small group of people comes together for each workshop and forms a "surround," or a container for the person who wants to explore their history and repattern overwhelming events that have left an imprint that is still causing difficulty today. Autonomic nervous system patterns are taught and discussed, then practiced. Overhwhelming imprint patterns can look like:
Not feeling fully alive
Difficulty with intimate relationships
Deep feelings of ambivalence toward life
Chronic pain or health conditions
Patterns that often show up that talk therapy can't seem to change
Feeling held in chronic double binds, or feeling like there is no way out
These patterns are somatic, or held in the body, and implicit, or held in an unconscious way. We can often still feel these patterns when something in present time triggers this deeply held body memory that is often coupled with overwhelming feelings, such as panic, anxiety, rage, dissociation and more. The facilitator employs very specific principles and a form that allows individuals to drop into these early patterns and repattern, with the consciousness of the group mind. The pace is slow, and the process pendulates between the present and the wellspring of coherency he or she first establishes, and the history that is overwhelming in small, digestible pieces. Then, the facilitator debriefs the session later so that the person taking a turn and the group can learn more about the pattern. It is an excellent way to learn as well as heal.
These small groups offer an epigenetic form of healing while learning. We now know that an environment around a cell can influence whether or not genes are turned off or on. In a sense, working with positive, slow group energy, the issue at hand can be shifted with this experience. Participants report greater clarity, better health, great insights, and positive connections with others. It is also an opportunity to learn about helpful patterns around many of the issues of being human. Teaching supports understanding our interpersonal neurobiology and how our younger selves made sense of our lives by bringing these patterns to consciousness. It is great for parents as well as other curious adults, and for couples wanting to conceive.
This workshop is co-facilitated by Kate White and Elsa Asher. Elsa has special training in understanding the health and connections from ancestors. Carrying ancestral trauma is very common, and it often plays a role in how we see ourselves and our world. Come and work on your patterns and gain greater health today.

I am facilitating a 3 person 3 day workshop to do this profoundly transformative work together.

Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive (Portland, OR)
Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive (Portland, OR)
Co-led by Larisa Noonan and Elsa Asher.
Everyone has loving and wise ancestors, and by reaching out for their support we access tremendous vitality for personal and family healing. In addition to supporting repairs with living family, our ancestors encourage healthy self-esteem and help us to clarify our destiny, relationships, and work in the world.
Participants will learn to relate safely and directly with family ancestors, both helpful guides and the dead in need of assistance. The work will closely follow Dr. Daniel Foor’s book, Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing. Expect to engage lineage ancestors in heart-centered ritual through prayer/song, visioning practices, and group dialogue. There are no prerequisites, however, prior experience with inner work and relating with spirit guides/teachers are both helpful.
Folks new to ancestor work, adoptees, and those with a tough experience of family are warmly welcome. The training will be a trauma-aware, multicultural ritual container that embraces the relationship of ancestral engagement with cultural healing and decolonization work.
We are strongly committed to keeping the work accessible to people of diverse backgrounds and variable means while also supporting our teaching staff. Folks of African, Native, and other historically persecuted ancestries (as well as folks serving such populations) are welcome to join if needed on the lower-priced end of registration as available. If you would like to help us to keep this work accessible or if you have enjoyed financial assistance previously and wish to extend this gift to others, please consider donating to our scholarship fund. For details see: ancestral lineage healing intensives.
Cost and Details
This intensive is Saturday-Monday, from 10am to 5:30pm each day, with a lunch break (lunch not included). Cost for this three-day intensive is $450 (or 4 payments of $118). We have reserved a third of spaces at scholarship rates, with a few partial scholarship spaces at $350 (or 4 payments of $92), and a few half scholarship spaces at $225 (or 4 payments of $60). All spaces are on a first-come first-served basis, with the remaining available options showing on the registration page. Please mindfully select the option that best fits your needs.
Larisa Noonan (Salem, OR) has specialized for nearly two decades in trauma healing, embodiment skills, and supporting healthy boundaries.

She lives with her husband and son in Oregon’s Willamette Valley on the ancestral homelands of Kalapuyan peoples. Her ancestors are from France, the Netherlands via Ukraine, Germany, and Switzerland and her spiritual orientation is rooted in earth-honoring ritual, embodying ancestral gifts, and reclaiming animist values.

Womb Surround Workshops
Is there a pattern in your life that you want to change?
Have you been working on this pattern for a long time without making lasting changes, despite getting support from qualified practitioners?
Do you feel there is some support you need with embodying your consciousness more fully?
These are the questions I ask my clients to determine whether they are working with an early, preverbal imprint, originating from anywhere between conception and the first few years of life. Repatterning these imprints requires specific ways of working with the body and the relational / attachment systems, so a new, embodied way of being in relationship to your self, others and all of creation can be found. The most effective way I have found to heal early imprints are Womb Surround Workshops.
Developed by Dr. Ray Castellino, Womb Surrounds are held in a small group format of 4-6 participants. In this setting you will be able to experience the social nervous system of the group field in a safe, collaborative way - something many of us never got to feel in our families of origin.
You will have the opportunity to reconnect with deeper layers of your consciousness and get support for embodying them more fully in your present day self. Our early imprints, whether they are preverbal, ancestral, or collective are what can get in the way of bringing our transcendent self into this human experience. The integration of these two - embodied human self and consciousness - is what to me this work is ultimately about. I would be honored to support you in this.
Born to a German father and Hungarian mother, Sarah grew up in the Alps in Germany and Austria. She studied art, movement and dance in Munich. After moving to California in 2001, she began to pursue studies of healing through the body: she became a Pilates and Yogilates instructor, pursued a B.F.A. in Painting and Performance Art and attended the Tamalpa Institute (movement based expressive arts therapy) as well as holistic massage school. During this period she also obtained her Certificate as a Sexological Bodyworker from the Institute for Advanced Studies of Human Sexuality in San Francisco and studied varied approaches to intimacy coaching.
She found the focus of her work in her studies of Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing™ and Ray Castellino's Prenatal and Birth Therapy. Deepening her commitment to healing through the body, she obtained an M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a Specialization in Somatic and Pre/Perinatal Psychology.
Sarah has been studying in-depth with Ray Castellino since 2010 and sees his teachings as the true foundation of her work. She feels honored to be offering his findings and principles to her clients. To deepen her understanding of the roots of Ray's work in Dr. Randolph Stone's teachings, Sarah is currently studying Polarity Therapy with Dr. Jim Feil. Sarah lectures and teaches on the intersection of PPN Psychology and adult intimate relationships. Read more…

Womb Surround Workshops
Is there a pattern in your life that you want to change?
Have you been working on this pattern for a long time without making lasting changes, despite getting support from qualified practitioners?
Do you feel there is some support you need with embodying your consciousness more fully?
These are the questions I ask my clients to determine whether they are working with an early, preverbal imprint, originating from anywhere between conception and the first few years of life. Repatterning these imprints requires specific ways of working with the body and the relational / attachment systems, so a new, embodied way of being in relationship to your self, others and all of creation can be found. The most effective way I have found to heal early imprints are Womb Surround Workshops.
Developed by Dr. Ray Castellino, Womb Surrounds are held in a small group format of 4-6 participants. In this setting you will be able to experience the social nervous system of the group field in a safe, collaborative way - something many of us never got to feel in our families of origin.
You will have the opportunity to reconnect with deeper layers of your consciousness and get support for embodying them more fully in your present day self. Our early imprints, whether they are preverbal, ancestral, or collective are what can get in the way of bringing our transcendent self into this human experience. The integration of these two - embodied human self and consciousness - is what to me this work is ultimately about. I would be honored to support you in this.

Two day experiential workshop in Lillooet, British Columbia followed by (4) 60 min Skype sessions once a week of grounding meditations and experiential exercises over the next month.
CAD $400 (non-refundable deposit $40)
Finding our roots and working through our layers to our Deeper Selves is a great way to come into better embodiment and presence.
Being more present in all of ourselves makes us more resilient and grounded in our relationships to others, whether they are our children, clients, lovers or friends.
This workshop will cover various ways to more completely come into our bodies through working with feeling our pelvic bowl, gut and the various ways that we can feel rooted. We will work with our ancestral history in order to feel more supported by what has come before us.
After our two day workshop we will come together once a week as a group for 60 min skype grounding meditations and group feedback to better integrate and deepen our presence.
Renee Hella is a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy teacher and has been facilitating deep healing work for more than 15 years.

Repatterning Workshop with Renee Hella
Sept 28 - Oct 1st, 2018: 9am to evening each day
Location: Lillooet, British Columbia.
Limit 5 Participants

Each participant has about a 2.5 hour session. Sessions can go longer depending on the material surfacing. The whole group stays in support of whoever is doing their work.
What comes forward in the sessions will depend on the participants intention, how safe and supported they feel in the group and what is present in the greater field dynamics of family and culture.
Because this group work supports deep shifts in the physical body as well as in our emotional, intellectual, ancestral and energetic fields it has the potential to heal the foundational roots of many difficult and long-held/hidden patterns.
Each session is followed by a sharing of all the group members own experience during the session and time for integration.

The Whole Person Somatic Movement Program trains psychologists and therapists, yoga & movement professionals, and body workers to incorporate developmental movement principles into their work.
Personal embodiment—both body awareness and the capacity for kindness, appreciation, and wonder at one’s own body wisdom—is a primary tool to support transformation on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levelsThe program is based on the knowledge that human development occurs first through the language of movement and touch and relationship, and provides educators, therapists, and creators with a psychophysical model both for supporting motor development and repatterning behavior. It includes instruction in movement facilitation, touch skills, creative expression, and psychodynamic facilitation.

Exploring Cord Dynamics with Renee Hella
Four Day Workshop with Renee Hella
September 7 - 10th, 2018
A four-day somatic exploration, following the model of the Pre and Perinatal Psychology trainings, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Qi Gong in Lillooet, British Columbia.
In this workshop we will dive into an exploration of cord dynamics. Cord dynamics originate from when we were growing our bodies in the womb via our umbilical cord.
CAD $700* (non-refundable deposit $70)
*Price includes one follow-up session which can be either a craniosacral therapy session or a Pre and Perinatal session over Skype
The spiraling nature of these dynamics also show up in how we birth ourselves and our projects, and how we deepen into the layers of ourselves. We will do some work with labyrinths to assist the felt sense of this deepening.
We will also explore our bellies with a Qi Gong form that unwinds our guts and deepens our experience of our naval and the felt sense of the phantom umbilical cord that still connects us to our mother earth and our roots through our gut connection and our microbiome.
This workshop is open to individuals who are interested in working with their ‘umbilical affect’. We will be somatically exploring our very early experiences, from an evolutionary perspective as well as from a personal perspective i.e. our time growing in the womb. This can bring up challenging experiences so participants need to have a certain level of grounding and ability to hold their witness-self. Participants need to fill out an application and do a Skype interview to apply.

European Continuum Practitioner Program in the Swiss Alps
Schweibenalp is a powerful place and one of the most beautiful retreat centres in Europe: An ancient Celtic druid site, above the world on 1100 m heights, overlooking the majestic mountain-chain and the turquoise Lake of Brienz, it simply feels rapturous to be there. Walking to the nearby waterfalls and meditating at the ritual fireplace supports the process. In the summer we can also swim in the lake and practice Continuum in the surrounding nature.
Megan and Volker are both Continuum Teachers and Continuum Practitioners, mentored
by Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum. They both completed the Continuum Practitioners Program in 2010. They were taught and mentored by Emilie Conrad and Robert Litman.
Twin Dynamics and Co-Resonance with Renee Hella
Four Day Somatic Exploration with Renee Hella
July 20 - 23rd, 2018
A four-day somatic exploration in Lillooet, British Columbia.
Exploring and working with twin dynamics is a powerful way to learn how to work with our potent ability to resonate with each other. This dynamic shows up in so many ways including our shadow-side as well as in our gut-brain-microbiome interactions. We will be exploring how and if our concepts of boundaries are changing with our new understanding of ourselves as symbiotic beings.
CAD $700* (non-refundable deposit $70)
*Price includes one follow-up session which can be either a craniosacral therapy session or a Pre and Perinatal session over Skype
This is a very sensitive dynamic so care will be taken with accepting participants. Participants need to have a certain level of grounding and ability to be with difficult feelings.They need to be able to maintain a certain level of witness-self.
Participants will need to fill in an application form and do an interview either in person or via Skype to be approved to join the workshop.
