APPPAH AT ASILOMAR

APRIL 2009!

Our 14th International Congress uniting ancient birth wisdom and modern scientific knowledge in the realm of prenatal and perinatal psychology will be held at Asilomar Conference Grounds, known as Monterey Peninsula’s “Refuge by the Sea.”  Asilomar's dedication to the care of the Natural Environment mirrors APPPAH’s dedication to the care of the Human Environment – specifically the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual atmosphere in which each human being is conceived, carried, born, and welcomed to Mother Earth. 

In his classic book A Child Is Born  (1990) Lennart Nilsson states, “Billions of years ago the first living organisms appeared in the sea.  Even today, all land animals, including human beings, carry this original watery environment within themselves.”  The Refuge by the Sea provides an opportunity to consciously acknowledge and embrace our ancient beginnings in “the original nursery of life.”

Nilsson relied heavily on modern technology but still emphasized in the beginning of his book, “At the center of our story, however, is neither technology nor modern medicine but the enduring miracle of pregnancy and birth. We hope to illuminate and to celebrate this universal experience.”

APPPAH, too, seeks to bring its members and friends together to celebrate The Miracle of Birth: Uniting Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science.  Join us at Asilomar Conference Grounds to share your visions for the future, to honor the best of both feminine and masculine energies—of intuitive wisdom and scientific knowledge—modeling the harmony of cooperation and co-creativity.

 Looking forward to seeing you there!

 Sincerely, Judyth Weaver and Susan Highsmith
