this non-residential retreat weekend is an intimate and experiential workshop that uses chaplain, midwife, and doula skills to teach active listening, container building, and narrative stewardship techniques. it introduces participants to the transformative power of eliciting and caring for our clients' personal narratives, and it teaches the deep listening and curious inquiry skills that make space for and support the sharing of fertility, pregnancy, birth, loss, and postpartum stories in client encounters.
the weekend will also make room for healing and transformative storytelling of our own, and there will be optional reflective journaling/meditation prompts to consider both before and after our time together, as well as optional framing for giving the weekend a full retreat feeling.
