“Every baby’s first breath on the Earth could be one of peace and love. Every mother should be healthy and strong. Every Birth could be safe and loving. But our world is not there yet.” -- Robin Lim, CNN's 2011 Person of the Year
What would happen if you were to actually embrace this idea that every baby’s first breath on Mother Earth could be one of peace and love? And, would it lead you to look at your own experience of birth and how you experienced your own first breath?
In a four-hour workshop Janel will provide a safe, sacred space for those interested to begin to explore healing one's own birth in order to create peace within and to extend that peace to the world. The workshop is an introduction to a 3 day adult birth healing workshop.
Janel envisions birthing humans into the experience of love and connection with the Mother, and Father is a missing piece of our human quest for peace - connection, unity, equality. As a documentary filmmaker of “The Other Side of the Glass: A birth film for and about men” she has explored the journey of the soul and imprinting from conception through birth. Through the stories of fathers across the country and passionate voices of doctors, nurses, midwives, and doulas who support peaceful birth, the film reveals the modern medical maternity care system as a “war machine” and how we are imprinted for war during the experience of birth.
Most of us born today were born in boundary-violating, painful, and fearful experiences with strangers separating us from our mother and father. Most of us have never had acknowledgment of our separation, fear, and pain as a baby. Attendees need to come to this session with the awareness that most of us alive have experienced this loss, and come with a desire to connect with your own inner baby and with other babies in a sacred way. Janel is a CranioSacral-based attachment/birth-healing therapist for newborns through adults. She believes that embracing one’s own baby as a sentient being is the most powerful way to create peace on earth.
Stephanie Dawn of Sacred Birth Mentor Program says, "Janel Mirendah is the Lorax for babies ~ she speaks for the babies! In a world that continues to treat newborns as non-sentient beings, Janel's understanding and awareness of the pure consciousness of babies is a total revelation."
