Meeting little ones

from the heart

With Cherionna Menzam-Sills

Each of us has remnants of the little one that we were within us.
Where these little ones did not experience the safe, reflective holding field they needed back then, we continue to seek this in our relationships.
Our encounters with babies in our work, our families or elsewhere in our lives may remind us of what we needed back then.

Cherionna will guide you in settling in compassionate, heart-centered, mindful presence, introduce important aspects of pre- and perinatal experience that may affect our hearts, and support you in meeting and holding the little one within you, which can enable meeting babies, and clients in a little one state, with presence, deep listening, and respect.
This course will invite the learner to:
  • Practice listening from a mindful, resourced state of resting in the heart
  • Develop awareness and understanding regarding basic needs of little ones, how they can be met and how they often aren’t
  • Augment awareness of the inner little one and how to meet and hold them
  • Learn about specific tendencies, personality, relational and behavioral patterns that may express pre- and perinatal wounding
  • Enhance awareness of how babies tell their birth stories and how to receive them in healing ways
  • Appreciate the concept of original potential and the possibility of experiencing it
