Acts of the Soul: Embryology and Birth Psychology

3-part Live Virtual Lecture Series Learn from this legendary embryology teacher live and online! In the modern view of neuropsychology the embryo does not have much chance to be accepted as a being with a mind or soul. Like the human body in the modern somatic philosophy — ‘you are not present there in that body’, ‘there is no self or soul living in this body,’ — the body of the embryo has been ghosted. Jaap ponders leading questions concerning the embryo: such as, Who or what is realizing itself? What are we actually doing when we are an embryo? How do we exist there and then? An embryo behaves. It is still shaping its body, it moves, it performs. The first manifestation of behavior we exhibit as the psychosomatic body-mind being that we are is our morphological behavior. The gestures we make on the physiological level— going upright, finding the balance, centering: these are acts of the soul.

Becoming Whole: Supporting Secure Attachment in Our Adult Lives

During this mini-series you’ll learn and experience a creative new framework and language that details the process of how to support secure attachment in all relationships including ourself. Our early attachment patterns are the most influential aspect of our physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual lives. It is what builds the foundation of our nervous system. Our attachment dynamics or (survival strategies) are imprinted and encoded in our body- based memories. By becoming aware of what did and often what did NOT happen is the beginning of the repatterning process. This course is an integration of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology principles with attachment science and the Circle of Security™ work. No matter what our beginning looked like it is our birthright to feel welcomed, safe, connected, embodied and resilient.

The Benefits of Reading to Babies in the Womb

A Recorded 60 Minute Presentation with Q&A Research has revealed that babies in the womb are listening – and remembering what they hear. The Cat in the Hat studies conducted in the 1980s are now famous for revealing that newborns like – and prefer – stories they heard while they were in utero! This research is presented as well as new research being done in NICUs with babies that are born too soon. We are learning how to communicate with these precious Little Ones while they are in utero and when born prematurely. Susan has written four fairy tales that are stories (metaphors) designed to be read by parents while they are pregnant and read to their babies following birth. The benefits of talking, singing and reading to the developing baby include building bonds, forming secure attachments, developing the baby’s brain, and improving the infant’s language skills. These practices assure the growing child that s/he is welcomed, safe and loved.

The Embodied Mind: Exploring Where our Mind and Memories Exist

Join Thomas Verny, MD, author of The Embodied Mind, for a 2-hour deep dive into complex relationships between the gut-heart-brain and mind. “It is time to move the dial on the scientific clock and seriously dispute the commonly accepted deterministic view of the mind as an epiphenomenon of the brain. Instead, I propose we entertain the concept of the embodied quantum mind, in which the mind is both dependent on and independent of the brain and the rest of the body.” ~ Dr. Thomas Verny A transformative concept in psychobiology, at once paradigm-shifting and empowering, The Embodied Mind will help us gain more insights into who we are in relationship to ourselves, our loved ones, society and the universe.
