Tracking In-Utero Influences & Trauma in the Birthchart

Seminar Recording

This seminar represents a culmination of 35 years of pioneering research and experience in exploring the journey from our earliest cellular origins at conception all the way to towards taking our first breath at birth.

It was inspired by an extraordinary convergence of groundbreaking new astrological writing, the experiential work of primal therapy and breath work, and the birthing activism inspired by Frederick Leboyer.

A more personal synchronicity in the midst of this new wave in the 1980s, was finding myself in primal therapy workshops, having my own deeply layered in-  utero re-experiences including my conception, observing these in my fellow students in a two year training group, while having copies of their individual birthcharts!

This came not long after the astrologer Tad Mann created a way of tracking the journey from conception to birth in the natal chart, a ground-breaking achievement in which he postulated that the 9th House cusp represents the conception point.

My observations served to those validate Tad’s writing and to expand upon them.

The other significant sources of this information include from the Australian pioneer in in utero primal therapy, the late Dr Graham Farrant,  a student of Dr. Arthur Janov  of “Primal Scream” and “The Feeling Child” fame;   from the work of spiritual and shamanic midwifery mediated through my former wife and colleague Cloudia Defrenne; from my students in the experiential astrology trainings and clients in The Conception to Birth Experiential Workshops I’ve been running since 1990.

In this video seminar we look at:

• The existence of cellular consciousness
• The role of epigenics  on top of that of our DNA.
• The nature of significant environmental and transgenerational influences around conception.
• A more accurate conception point in the birthchart.
• How conception, implantation and first trimester influence all aspects of our eight houses.
• Some exceptional chart examples reflecting real life experiences between conception and birth.
• How to identify significant influences and disruptions in the birthchart reflecting the above.
• How experiential and primal astrology provides tools and practices for accessing and releasing absorbed influences in our own in utero journeys.
• What other therapeutic and spiritual practices support both healing disturbances and accessing the gifts of our earliest experiences.
