Investing in Human Potential from the Beginning of Life

Our core understandings of babies and early human experience are in the midst of a fundamental paradigm shift. Understanding our earliest experiences from the baby’s point of view and how these experiences set in motion life patterns has been the intense study of the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology (PPN) for over forty years. What we learn from babies in PPN-oriented clinical work with people of all ages leads us beyond our modern era’s biology-based lens into vastly expanded consciousness-based multidimensional understandings. In our one-hour class together, we explore the implications of these PPN findings for research, theory, guiding principles, professional and parenting practices, as well as for community decision making and programs. How do we best support human potential and optimal relationships and what should receive priority attention?
