Special Offerings
Alongside our core Birth Story Medicine training, we host a range of special courses that deepen, expand, and enrich your work with stories, symbols, and healing. Some of these offerings are designed for trained Birth Story Listeners, while others are suitable for anyone who serves families in the birth space, including midwives, doulas, therapists, educators, and healers.
Each course opens a doorway into a particular dimension of birth stories and the human experience.

A BIRTH STORY ALCHEMY
GROUP FOR PARENTS
Transform an Unwished-for Experience into Gold
May 25 to June 8th, 2026; 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. PST
Pam England will be your guide.
This one-of-a-kind three-week journey welcomes parents who have given birth and want to feel differently about their birth experience.
Each week, you will enter your inner Birth Story Alchemy Laboratory to discover a new recipe in the ancient wisdom of alchemy. Vivid imagery and powerful metaphors will accelerate your inner work, ignite insights, and turn a medical story into meaning, even a mythic experience. The process of spiritual and psychological alchemy will transform what now feels like a heavy, leaden story into gold.
Trying to sort your birth experience out in your mind is like the old Zen saying, “It’s impossible to see your own eyeball.” Do-it-yourself birth story work is possible, but it often takes much longer to untangle a story.
Alchemy Group: $125. Registration Deadline: May 18

WHEN CHILDBIRTH BECOMES A CONSCIOUS INITIATION . . .
Open to all: Parents and those who listen to birth stories.
MAY 13, 2026. 10 to 11:30 am PST
Pam England will be your guide.
We will take a journey through the landscape of the childbearing year, but see it through the lens of Initiation as an archetype.
Pausing to reflect on the phases, landmarks, our dreams and images, and the timely tasks of Initiation can do two things: one make the inner experience conscious and embodied, and second, turn a medical story into a mythic one.
$30
These special offerings are invitations to step outside the ordinary, to gather in community, and to explore birth through mythic, symbolic, and deeply human lenses. Whether you are seeking new skills for your practice or nourishment for your own heart, these courses offer inspiration and practical depth.
