Meeting little ones

from the heart

With Cherionna Menzam-Sills
Each of us has within us remnants of the little one we were before being born. Where this little one did not experience the safe, reflective holding field they needed at the time, 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 in utero.

In this course, Cherionna guides you in settling in compassionate, heart-centred, mindful presence.  She introduces important aspects of pre- and perinatal experience that may affect our hearts, and supports 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.
Cherionna, PhD has been teaching Embodied Embryology through somatic movement since 1997. She holds a PhD in Pre- & Perinatal Psychology and taught at Naropa University and the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. She teaches facilitates re- and Perinatal Psychology/Therapy, Continuum, a Mindful Movement Practice, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

In this course, you will:

  • 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
