Description
The Healing of Birth
Featuring Sobonfu Some, Joseph Chilton Peace, Barbara Findeisen, Dr Ray Castellino. This film explores the work of pioneering Pre and Perinatal Psychologists and indigenous teachers considering the consciousness of the infant in the womb and at birth. If we consider the young life as being a mature consciousness in an immature body how would it affect and change the way we think about our children, our own births and the way we birth? The film was made in California and completed in the UK in 2005. It has been seen by many in the birthing field and has been part of a shift in understanding of babies and mothers and the powerful forces at play in this most loving time.
“This is an extraordinary film… and the director’s vision is truly noteworthy”
