Workshop teaching rituals to do with families to honor the Sacred Tree of Life plus learning various ways to utilize the placenta in medicinal ways.
Some of what you'll learn:

• What do you know about your placenta?
• Where is your placenta?
• Did you know your placenta represents your tree of life?

Come learn the unknown world of our roots. In order for to baby live, placenta dies. She offers her life with devotion to nourish a baby. Once the baby is born, the placenta still sends all the love-blood to the baby and slowly dies. It is the first connection with death, and it is time to honor this sacred transformation of life-death-life as the cycle of life.
Miri Metztlixóchitl, who learned from different grandmothers this beautiful placenta ceremony is going to share in this amazing workshop, how to perform a sacred honored ceremony to be grateful for the creation of the tree of life for a new human being. Showing how to do this makes an important connection with the baby and their placenta, the parents, and the family around. This is the birthday-welcoming celebration to be aware of and honor the linage.
We will explore the physical placenta, observe and read the it in order to understand a little bit more the mystery of creation.

Who is it for?

EVERYONE! Men, women, all genders are welcome to reconnect with the source of life, all those who want to go deeply to the sacred origin. Therapists, psychologists, nurses, doctors, midwifes, doulas, lactation consultants, especially placenta encapsulators.

Miri's main teacher Alison Bastien asked her lovingly to not just encapsulate this sacred organ, but to first to honor life with this ceremony and then to ask the couple what do they want to do with it. Burying it and planting a tree is the most traditional thing, since the baby will have its own tree of life that will accompany it to grow during its life and be able to return to its sacred refuge. In this unique workshop you will learn:

• Placenta ceremony
• Spiritual anatomy and physiology
• Discover the placenta
• The tree of life
• Printing the tree of life
• Placenta Reading
• Lotus birth, home birth, hospital birth
• How to know
