Our Loving Cells. $30
A Continuum exploration with Frank Carbone

What might unfold when we bring loving attention to the life within us?

Our cells continually communicate, exchange nutrients, and respond to their surroundings. Inspired by this living world, we will explore the body as a community of relationships—inviting curiosity, tenderness, and a deeper sense of connection.

Through gentle breath, sound, fluid movement, and quiet listening, Frank will guide us into the One Cell Meditation: an imaginative, embodied journey toward our earliest beginning. We will explore the image of a single living cell—its fluid interior, the environment that surrounds it, and the membrane that both connects and distinguishes the two.

Cellular biology offers inspiration for our inquiry; sensation and imagination offer ways to explore it. What can we discover about receiving nourishment, allowing movement, and being in relationship? What changes in our experience when we meet ourselves with kindness?

This class offers space to slow down, follow your own pace, and welcome the subtle movements already unfolding within you.

No previous Continuum experience is necessary. Come as you are, with curiosity about the life you embody

Womb Surround Process Workshop
Continuum, Cellular Consciousness, and the Art of Being Received
With Frank Carbone | December 12th-14th Online  11AM-5PM EST

What becomes possible when we have time to slow down, listen deeply, and be welcomed as we are?

Join Frank Carbone for a three-day Womb Surround process workshop weaving compassionate group support with the gentle sound, breath, and fluid movement explorations of Continuum.

Together, we will create a space to explore themes of beginnings, belonging, connection, and our relationship with being supported. The Womb Surround process invites each person’s experience to unfold at their own pace, with respect for boundaries, choice, and the time needed to integrate.

Continuum offers a way to listen beneath our familiar stories—through sensation, subtle movement, vibration, and rest. We will approach cellular consciousness as a contemplative exploration, bringing curiosity to the body as a living community and imagining the possibilities of receiving nourishment, communicating, and belonging at the cellular level.

Through individual process, attentive witnessing, and shared exploration, we will make room for what arises in the present: feelings, sensations, insights, and new possibilities for connection. There is no need to force an experience or recover an early memory.

This is an invitation to meet yourself with tenderness, honor your own rhythms, and explore what it feels like to be received.

Time to listen. Space to unfold. Room to belong.

 a Womb Surround process workshop offers an opportunity to experience being supported, listened to, and respected at your own pace. Developed by Ray Castellino, it uses a small group, gentle exploration, and ongoing consent to explore personal patterns through bodily sensations, emotions, and relationship. 

Its potential benefits include:

  • Receiving support: Practicing letting others be present with you without having to perform or take care of everyone.

  • Honoring your boundaries: Experiencing the freedom to say yes, say no, pause, or ask for something different.

  • Greater body awareness: Noticing sensations and impulses before moving automatically into familiar reactions.

  • More choice in relationships: Exploring different ways of asking for help, approaching connection, or responding to difficulty.

  • Feeling less alone: Being witnessed with care and participating in mutual support.

  • Time to integrate: Slowing down and reflecting on an experience so that its meaning can become clearer. These are opportunities built into the workshop’s structure, rather than guaranteed outcomes.

Womb Surround Process Workshop With Kate White & Frank Carbone Andes NY 3 Spaces Open

What is a womb surround process workshop?
​
​A womb surround Process Workshop is a small group format developed by Dr Raymond Castellino in 1992 where a safe and welcoming ‘womb surround’ is created. In this environment participants are able to explore and re-pattern early prenatal, birth and attachment imprinting that impact their lives today. Material from other stages of life may be worked with as well.
This format was created by Dr Castellino because he found that ‘complete and lasting transformations most often happen in small group settings’. Usually there are 5-7 participants in a workshop, over a span of 3-5 days. There is ample time for personal work to occur in a spacious way, that allows for integration of your own piece as well as your experience of other’s. The venue is most often a comfortable private home space which enables the cost to be reasonable given the size of the group.*Re-pattern and heal wounding imprints from conception thru childhood.

BENEFITS

*Increase intimacy with life and loved ones.
*Experience the emergence of a wider range of possibilities and choices
​that are more in alignment with your current needs in life. 
*Transform existing negative behaviors and ways of being in relationship as new healthy options naturally arise. 
*Learn and apply principles and skills to enhance relationships, personal and professional.
*Embody authentic aliveness, confidence and heartfelt connection
​with yourself and others.
Release ancestral bonds that constrain you.
*Gain a deepening sense of belonging and ease in the world.

Returning to the Ocean of Our Beginning

The Earliest Chapter of Our Story Lives in the Body

Before we had words…

before we had thoughts…

before we had a name…

we were already experiencing life.

Floating in the fluid rhythms of the womb, we were sensing everything:

• movement

• vibration

• pressure

• sound

• emotional tone

• the relational field of our parents and ancestors

These early experiences become the first language of the nervous system.

They shape how we feel about:

• safety

• belonging

• connection

• love

• and our place in the world.

The body remembers these early moments long after the mind has forgotten.

Prenatal and perinatal research now confirms what many wisdom traditions have always known:

Human consciousness begins before birth.

From the moment of conception we are sensing, learning, adapting, and organizing ourselves in relationship to our environment.

If those early moments were supportive, the nervous system learns:

Life is safe.

Connection is possible.

I belong here.If those moments were overwhelming or unsupported, the body may organize protective patterns that continue into adulthood.These patterns are not mistakes.

They are brilliant survival responses created by an intelligent body.

The Body Holds Implicit MemoryThe earliest experiences of life are stored as implicit memory.

This means they live in the body as:

• sensations

• movement patterns

• nervous system responses

• emotional tone

• relational expectations

They exist beneath language.

Which is why traditional talk therapy often cannot reach them.

But the body knows the way back.

The Womb Surround Process

The Womb Surround Process creates a safe and compassionate environment where these early body memories can begin to unfold and reorganize.

Within a carefully supported group field, participants are invited to slow down and listen to the subtle language of sensation.

Through presence, attunement, and relational support, the nervous system is given the opportunity to:

complete unfinished survival responses

• release protective tension patterns

• experience new states of safety and support

• reorganize early relational imprints

This work does not force or push.

It invites the natural intelligence of the body to guide the process.

The Healing Power of the Group Field

One of the most powerful aspects of Womb Surround work is the presence of a supportive human field

When we are held with:

compassion

• attuned listening

• patience

• and respectful pacing

the nervous system can finally experience something it may have needed from the very beginning:

a sense of being safely surrounded.

From this place, the body can soften, reorganize, and discover new possibilities.

What Participants Often Experience

People who participate in Womb Surround workshops often report:

• a deep sense of emotional and physical relief

• greater nervous system regulation

• feeling more at home in their body

• more authentic connection with others

• release of long-standing relational patterns

• renewed access to creativity and vitality

Many describe the experience as remembering something essential about who they are.

A Return to Our Cellular Ocean

At the deepest level, this work reminds us that we are not separate from life.

Our bodies are still made of fluid rhythms and living intelligence.

Within every cell is the memory of the original ocean we came from.

When we slow down enough to feel the subtle language of the body, we begin to rediscover the creative movement of life itself.

Healing happens not by fixing ourselves…

but by allowing life to move again.

Womb Surround Process Workshop Ojai Ca May23-May 26 2025 $850 *(1 Open space*)


The intention of a Womb Continuum is to heal and re-pattern early life and to create more options for current behavior and ways of being in relationship. In addition to healing prenatal, birth and other early trauma, this process has the principle impact of encouraging loving bonding within primary relationships. Participants commonly state that the process is transformational on a deep level.

Using creativity Eros and Continuum we can explore and create new pathways of a fluid and creative world inside which can ride the waves of our social nervous system in new and rejuvenating ways…

Sound shape, color and other essential sensory ingredients, support conditions and can hold a restful relational field of safe and interesting creative awareness.

It has a moving wisdom like the echo of our birth sequence, that is easily connected to the nature and ease of an ocean wind.

Our current life in the present moment Is a creative continuum that has a clear forward, access to a life in a field that creates interesting permission for bigger things to emerge from the center of ourselves.

Why not have all these facets?

Why not let them shine?

We can play with a menu:

• Sequence

• Sounds

• Shapes

• Awareness of pleasurable movements

• Creative Embryonic Exploration

Womb Continuum Process Workshop Boulder Colorado ( Land and Water) With Maya Kokatay May 15-18 2025 *1 space Open* $950

A Womb Surround Process Workshop is a therapeutic group experience designed to help individuals access and heal early pre- and perinatal imprints—memories and patterns formed in the womb, during birth, or in early infancy. These workshops, often based on the work of Ray Castellino, provide a safe, supportive environment where participants can explore how their earliest experiences have shaped their nervous system, emotions, and relational patterns.

Key Elements of a Womb Surround Process Workshop:
1. Small, Intimate Group – Typically 4-6 participants, ensuring deep, personal work with close support.
2. Facilitated Process – A trained facilitator guides participants through somatic (body-based) explorations, gentle regression, and healing experiences.
3. Intentions & Resonance – Each person sets an intention for healing, and the group serves as a resonant field to support that healing.
4. Repatterning & Integration – Participants may revisit and shift early imprints by experiencing new, supportive interactions and somatic releases.
5. Safety & Co-Regulation – The emphasis is on creating a safe, attuned space where nervous system healing can take place.

People who attend these workshops often seek healing from birth trauma, attachment wounds, or deep-seated patterns affecting their lives. It’s a gentle but profound way to reconnect with early

Working in a warm pool brings the potential and possibilities of a womb surround to deeper and in more buoyant ease and offers the participant an option of using the water or doing a process in the traditional setting indoors (om land).

My collaboration with Maya Kokatay is a creative journey working together through our trainees with Ray Castellino and John and Anna Chitty.

This workshop will have up to 5 participarts and an assistant or two.
