Some time ago I mentioned that I was working on putting together some seminars to deal with life after infertility, and I’m very pleased to announce that the first one has been scheduled for June!
I’ve been working with a friend who is an amazing therapist and writer. Using her experience in dealing with loss and my own experience with infertility, plus the information I’ve learned from you through this blog, all bundled together with our mutual knowledge of creative pursuits as therapy, we’ve developed a series of seminars called Healing Through Creativity.
The topic of the first seminar is Finding Your Identity After Infertility. From my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to rediscover who we are after imagining ourselves in the role of mother for so long. This seminar aims to start that process.
I’m very excited about this new venture and it feels to me like something I’m supposed to be doing.
Here’s the information for the first seminar in Los Angeles, and a link to the website for more details:
Finding Your Identity After Infertility
Sunday, June 26, 2011
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
DoubleTree Hotel, LAX/El Segundo
The plan is to run a series of seminars covering different topics and to eventually make them available elsewhere. Watch this space.
One of the benefits of being childless is that I can hop on a plane and be in a room with women who actually understand what I’ve gone through. I look forward working on whatever I’m supposed to do with my life next. See you there! 🙂
Ticket from Toronto to L.A. = priceless.
Kelly, I really look forward to meeting you. 🙂
I am seriously considering attending as well.
Hey Kelly – you are right about the experience being priceless and I would be coming from Toronto as well! And I thought I may be the only Canadian considering going….. Let me know if you have any tips on good airfares!
Would love to have you join us. 🙂
