Birthing from Within: Labyrinth Drawing and the Gates of Labour (In-Person)

Where: Full CIrcle Birth Collective 903 14 Ave SW, Edmonton, AB T6X 1H3

When: January 25th 6:30pm – 8pm

Cost: $30pp/$50 for 2 spaces (you and a partner/friend)

Join us for this intro workshop to learn about Birthing from Within processes, how they may align with your birth values, and dive into some Labyrinth work to understand the gates of labour people cross through on their journey to parenthood.

The labyrinth is a beautiful metaphor for the child bearing year, of giving birth, and of making the return postpartum. This ancient symbol has been found from societies and cultures that have existed, across thousands of years all over the world, on different continents.

The Labyrinth can also be used as a symbol of initiation, where one moves from the known to the unknown. A moment where they experience the unexpected, something life changing that transforms them, so that when they come out of it they are no longer the same person.

In this workshop we will explore the Labyrinth and you will create one to map your own inner journey.

We will then explore the common gates you will encounter in labour such as ‘The Gate of Excitement, the Gate of Self-Doubt, and the Gate of Great Determination.”
