Maha Al Musa
Sacred Birth Visionary, Palestinian/ Lebanese Childbirth Educator, Founder of EmbodyBirth™
Offering
Preserving Sacred Birth
With her Palestinian/Lebanese roots as her anchor, Maha has always seen birth at its deepest place as a place to raise Love consciousness and for ALL mothers and babies regardless of where they come from to be treated with dignity, respect and birth in their safety and most importantly their freedom. The freedom to choose where, how and with whom. The way forward is the way of the Heart. Birth is a continuum that imprints life as we know it. Every person has been born and that consciousness is what essentially informs how we live as human beings. Its time that every mother is supported in Love and every baby is born into the Hands of Love.
EmbodyBirth says: My Child Is Your Child, Your Child Is My Child

Erica Crebar

Offering
Eight frequencies of Life-Centric Learning
As our world changes at rapid speed we need to question the relevance of the current education system. What are the skills that will be important as the changes unfold and the new earth arrives? Has this system that exists at present ever served to help the growing child fully know themselves and to keep their innate senses of interconnectedness in tact? What are the impacts of our children being separated from their communities to learn a centralised curriculum that does not address or even see their unique strengths and passions, their gifts that are so needed at this time?

The Village of Motherhood
As we approach a new way of being in world, we must start with our own circle of mothers surrounding us. We are a village of mothers that can support each other through our own embodied experiences. Here we will sit and receive a meditation of self care, create a coherent space of connection and have an open sharing of our hearts on what each mother needs in this time of their journey. We will share resources and a discussion on how we can improve our village support for a new system of community. I will offer a sound healing at the end for peace of mind and healing. We are not meant to walk this journey alone. We are here to do this together.

Feminine Approaches to Education
The education system is traditionally dominated by women - and yet educational leadership is still predominantly made up of men. I believe we need to bring in more of a Feminine approach to education....and that by doing so we can really create cultural change.

Mastery & Mysteries
The interweaving of two energies is a recipe for manifestation, success and even luxury. We have been only trained in one way, that of doing, and we are rewarded for it. However, undoing and surrendering to the cycles of sun, moon and seasons is the feminine energetic and this is the pause. Imagine a snowboarder who is about to go down a high mountain. Before she goes, she calibrates the ride. There is a pause. A Breathtaking moment while everything she knows comes to stillness. The moment of reckoning with the Universe. And then she goes.
If we take life like this, weaving the mastery of the masculine energy with the mysteries, the feminine energy, we are able to create masterpieces. This is a talk and an activation to singing chalice where we take a step toward your masterpiece.
