Investment: $150.00 Register with Dynamic Equilibrium. Who should take this workshop: Those who- • Want to know and understand themselves better. • Are curious about their birth. • Want an amazing experieince- there is no other like being born! • Feel that no matter what they do they cannot create changes they desire in their life. • Want more freedom, more joy, or more aliveness in their life. • Want to be more powerful and effective in life. • Feel like giving up. Lack energy, creativity, zest. • Don't like themselves, and constantly try to change themselves, but don't succeed, or can't maintain the changes they are able to make. • Face persistent health problems. • Are bogged down with continuous unwanted emotional patterns, such as always angry, or always fearful. Who should not take this workshop: Those who are unable to take responsibility for themselves and their own well-being. This would include, for example, those under 18 years of age, and those who are mentally ill. Purpose of the workshop: • To understand yourself and your family better. • To uncover hidden beliefs related to your birth that you hold about yourself and the way life is. • To see how these beliefs affect your current attitudes and choices in life so that you can make better choices, and experience more freedom, more aliveness, more joy. Birth is traumatic. Before birth, you exist in a protected environment, attached physically and emotionally to your mother, floating in temperature controlled fluid, soft and dark, pressure-free, demand-free. Then your whole life changes in a moment. You experience the physical pressure of squeezing through the birth canal, the shock of being in cool air and bright light, the unthinkable sudden separation from your life line- the umbilical cord, and the life or death need to take your first searing breath. Premature births, caesarian sections, and other extreme measures related to birth have characteristic trauma associated with them, as well. In those moments of heightened sensation and emotion when you entered the world, you made a decision about how life is. As the years went by your decision drifted ever deeper into your unconscious, becoming a powerful backdrop to every belief you formed, all your experiences, all of your attitudes and choices, demanding alignment, regardless of the consequences to your well-being. In these two days, you will have an opportunity to use a gentle breathing process called circular breathing to access buried memories of your birth, and see what you decided in those moments. Through this conscious breathing you can begin to release the power the stand you made about life has over you so that you can make better life choices, and experience more freedom, more aliveness, more joy. The workshop includes lecture and discussion, as well as several conscious breathing sessions. During the breathing, the workshop leader will guide you and remind you to continue the breathing pattern. You will lie on the floor with a pad, blanket and pillow you have brought to the workshop. The workshop leader provides verbal support and encouragement, with intent for you to have whatever experience is right for your personal growth. For some this may be a gentle process, for some more emotional. All authentic response is healing, and welcomed with equanimity in this workshop.

WORKING WITH YOUR INNER CHILD- RECONNECTING WITH YOUR MAGICAL CHILD Workshop Leader: Nancy Toner Weinberger Sunday, October 27, 2013 Location: TMO Education Center, Raleigh, NC Times: 9:45AM to approximately 4PM with an hour and a quarter for lunch. Investment: $75.00 Register with Dynamic Equilibrium. Who should take this workshop: Those who- • Want more spontaneity, more joy, more playfulness in their life. • Want to awaken enchantment and imagination within themselves. • Cannot remember their childhood. • Had an unhappy childhood. • Would like to love themselves more. Who should not take this workshop: Those who are unable to take responsibility for themselves and their own well-being. This would include, for example, those under 18 years of age, and those who are mentally ill. Purpose of the workshop: • To build a nurturing relationship with your inner child. • To discover your magical child, and connect with the magical part of yourself. The child is adaptive- it adapts in order to survive. The child requires the love and approval of the parent, and this is the biggest threat the child perceives. The all-powerful parent has access to all the resources needed to survive. But there was a time when the child was free. When the child took being loved for granted, before the child realized love was conditional. When did your magical child go away and your adaptive child take over? Through guided visualization/meditation and gentle breathing you will have an opportunity to go back in time, and give your inner child the unconditional love they craved, to relieve the anxiety that little one lived with as he or she tried so hard to get that love. Then you will meditatively meet your magical child, and bring back to awareness all the spontaneity and trust they embodied. This day of healing can be a turning point in your life. Private Sessions with the Workshop Leader: Nancy will be available by appointment on the Sunday following the workshop for private sessions. Sessions are 2 hours each, $100 per session.
