Report on the Annual Womb Twin Conference 2011

I just attended my first ever Womb Twin Conference in England and can't imagine missing out on such an amazing opportunity to meet almost 30 other womb twins and spend the day immersed in topics of interest. Contrary to our usual mode of fitting into a singleton world, it was a unique experience to be in our own womb twin space where there was instant recognition and everything was custom-tailored.
The entire day was relevant, a rarity for womb twins!
To experience that alone was huge.

The presentations I attended were informative and validating. There were workshops in Art and Drama Therapy and plenty of breaks for connecting and sharing. The pastoral center where the conference was held was gorgeous with lovely landscaping. During the lunchbreak I went outside with Petra from Germany who taught me her new technique called Human Straightness Training. It was developed with horses but she has translated it for human benefit and is now making it available to womb twins. We spent 15 minutes doing it and my shoulder pain (where I was affected by the absorption of my identical twin) was gone for the rest of the day (with continued relief as I do it).

I gave a presentation entitled "Making Our Lost Twins Real and Letting Them Go" using several examples from North American Womb Twins of how to use symbols and rituals for healing. Thanks again to everyone who allowed me to feature a bit of their story.

Best of all was the chance to meet all the womb twins from different parts of the world and feel we are so much the same. I really enjoyed getting to know in-person those who I correspond with on the yahoo chat group and meeting new-to-the-scene womb twins too. It warmed my heart that we even had a non-womb twin among us, she had to live in our world rather than the other way around for a change! And let's not forget the twins who volunteered their time and brought womb twin cupcakes, I give them so much credit for being there. Such blessings!

The following day there was a small intimate workshop lead by Althea Hayton at another venue. There were 10 of us who worked hard processing our womb material all day in a perfect amalgam of Womb Twin Healing, Family Constellation, Gestalt and Psychodrama. Our fearless leader took us to very deep places to shake us into transformation, our fellow womb twins who shared the space made it so safe. I am still integrating it a couple weeks later which is why it's taken so long to write about. Powerful stuff!!

Next year the conference will be at the Friends Meeting House in London, November 17, 2012.
