We will explore the new field of prenatal and perinatal psychology and focus on practical ways to consciously approach the healing of maladaptive experiences that originate from the time in the mother's womb to the first year of life. The aim is to neutralize the negative effects of these early imprints on our lives.
Our early life experiences can leave a profound imprint at the cellular level, influencing our entire life. We have the opportunity to process it constructively, leave behind what no longer serves us and be who we are at our core.
It is also the intention of the event, through these insights and experiences, to bring about a societal change in the way we approach this very important early period in our lives, and to promote the prevention of childhood trauma.
A healthy approach to the early years of our lives will strengthen and liberate us and future generations.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO BE PART OF THIS INTERACTIVE SESSION WITH EXPERTS FROM THE FIELD BOTH IN PERSON AND ONLINE.
TWO-WAY ENGLISH-CZECH TRANSLATION IS PROVIDED.
What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you.

The mindful embryo - A phenomenological window to our prenatal life
Speaker: Jaap van der Wal
In this lecture, Jaap van der Wal will present a phenomenological view of our existence as an embryo, with the question in the background: What are we actually doing when we are an embryo? Is there awareness or consciousness? Does the embryo experience itself and its environment? Is this even possible for a being that today is usually considered "brainless" and has to be valued as a kind of "not yet (adult) being"?

Shaping the consciousness of a baby
Speaker: Apab’yan Tew
The ancestral Mayan philosophy takes us into the world of pregnancy, where the child is conscious and receptive. We are given an introduction to millennia of knowledge, zealously preserved, which reveals the approach of Mayan medicine - and predicts the individual character of the human being from the womb.

Trauma and its context in cranio sacral and polarity therapy
Speaker: Radek Neškrabal
The context in Cranio Sacral and Polarity Therapy is the interconnection of the inner and outer worlds and its impact on the development and continuation of life. Moments of difficult and challenging situations imprinted in the tissue-fluid system have an impact on the anatomy, physiology and vital force of the sentient being and on its original developmental matrix of health. How, then, to help achieve optimal alignment and functionality approaching the original matrix of health.

E-motion Re-connecting Your Inner Child
Speaker: Dorothe Trassl
For a variety of reasons, some of us have inherited trauma from our ancestors or adopted coping strategies and emotionality from our parents. Often this is a burden at this point in life now. We discover a whole new way of healing, that uproots deeply stored cellular memories, ingrained traumas and injuries that we have not had access to before. The E-motion method is about working with the body, regulating emotions and clearing trauma. In this session, you will explore techniques that focus on regulating your nervous system and releasing old trauma that was held in your body, that you might not even be aware of. The ability to regulate your nervous system and your emotions in everyday life brings greater peace and joy, a release of tension and stress, more self-awareness, and a more conscious approach to decision-making.

Carrying the wounding over the lifespan and across generations
Speaker: Thomas Verny
Exposure to stressful or hostile conditions in utero is associated with impaired development and lifelong risk of adverse health outcomes. The effects of prenatal trauma persist because the traumatic event is locked into the body's cellular structure. Traumatic events are imprinted in the genetic material of germ cells and can thus be transmitted over several generations.

Bonding disruptons and repair in the mother/infant dyad

The ritual of Cradling
Speaker: Jana Slavíčková
The Cradling ritual provides a way to view one's own prenatal and perinatal experience from the level of the body's memory. In a safe space, with enough time for everything, it is possible to reframe these experiences of ours and give the body and soul the opportunity to experience this unique liminal time of birth differently. The workshop will include a hands-on demonstration with a mannequin who has already gone through her own Ritual of Cradling process.

Books launch
The congress also includes the launch of two books. The Czech edition of Thomas Verny's bestseller - The Secret Life of the Unborn Child. It has already been "born" and you can buy it in the pre-sale at Bohemica Books or on the spot in the presence of Thomas.
Another book we will be christening at the Congress is Matthew Appleton's book - this is currently still in what is called the prenatal period, but we believe it will be "born" by the time the Congress takes place.
