Sheila’s presentation is called “Prenatal Theseus & the TRANSITus LAB“
Encoded in the 11-circuit Medieval labyrinth is the deep Origin Story we all share, embryogenesis and birth. At the heart of that biomyth is Theseus; the “ecological self in, and of nature, from the very beginning of ourselves” (Arne Naess). At the intersection of womb/world ecology, Birth Psychology, and contemplative Labyrinth Activism, is a laser-cut Birth Psychology teaching tool I call the TRANSITUS LAB which holds womblife wisdom lessons only known to initiates. As we transition through the initiatory threshold of our very early life, we are imprinted with a cellular memory of how to navigate uncertainty and change. Itʼs the embr-ecological self in each of us who remembers the New Story Thomas Berry said we had yet to learn. Embodying the wisdom lessons of womblife from a deep-time perspective of the ecological self puts you on the Transitus Path.
