Come see the story underneath

Hello dear one, For a few weeks now I've been writing to you about imprints, the patterns we carry from our very beginnings, the story that shows up in the smallest moments of an ordinary day and also in our milestone moments. (How we do one thing is how we do everything!) I've made something that gathers it all into one place, and it's ready for you. It's a short video (under 6 minutes). In it, I tell you about the first time I really saw an imprint, a three-day-old baby who changed the way I understand all of us, and what it means that the body remembers what the mind cannot. It's the clearest picture I've made of this work. You can watch the video here: https://thrivinghumans.org/back-to-birth Give it a quiet few minutes when you can. Some of it may land differently on a second viewing, once it's had time to settle. And when you've watched, if you'd like more, we have three different pathways for you depending on who you are and what you'd like to explore next. If you're a parent, wondering why the transitions are hard, or raising an older child and hoping to support them as they move into the world, there's something ready for you today. A gentle 25-minute masterclass, supporting your understanding of your child specifically. If you're simply trying to understand yourself, curious about your own beginnings and the patterns you look back and realize you've always carried, there's a place for you, too. This one is still being made, and you'll be the first to know when it opens. And if you sit with families, with babies, with people moving through hard transitions, as a midwife, a therapist, someone who walks alongside others and wants to offer something more than what's wrong with them, there's a way forward for you too, and it will be opening soon. All three live on the same page, right where the video is. Watch first. Then choose the path that's right for you. Be curious. Be kind. Start with yourself. Warmly, Rebecca |

Hello dear one, Last week I told you about the circles that are beginning, and about the current that runs through them: give and receive, in-breath and out-breath, no fixed giver and no fixed receiver. This week I want to go a little deeper, into what that actually asks of us, because it's something our culture doesn't teach, and I think that's part of why these circles are needed. Most of us were raised inside a transactional market system. I pay, you provide, we're square, and we owe each...
Hello dear one, I am making a big change in the way I'm doing things, starting with some new ways you can receive support. It feels exciting and alive and more aligned with my work. Maybe I'm finally catching up to myself?! That could be super fun. I've been thinking a lot about what makes a relationship, a group, or a situation feel truly alive, and I keep coming back to one word: reciprocity. I've seen this in groups that thrive, couples where the relationship is flourishing, even...
Hello dear one, Over the past few weeks, I taught three masterclasses on imprints, the patterns we arrive with, laid down before words, that shape how we start, how we leave, how we wait, and how we come back into connection. I want to make sure you have all three, because there's something in them for everyone. No cost, watch now, 30-minutes or less masterclasses! For parents: how your child's earliest story shows up in the moments that feel hardest, and how understanding it changes the...
