New Hope
Strengthening the Source

The doctor of the future will give no medicines, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the causes of disease. - Thomas Edison

Dr. Lewis begins Session 1 with an intense focus on the motive force of our source energies, which govern our reproductive organs themselves. Session 1 enhances the function of the ovaries.

The week begins with an intensive, therapeutic support session where every woman has a chance to share the story of her fertility struggle, and open herself up to the healing process. She immediately begins to shed the fallacy that she is infertile.

We then go right into instruction on how to enhance every woman’s fertility potential, regardless of her western medical diagnosis.

Through the days we incorporate Qi gong, yoga, Nia, stretch, relaxation, Tai chi, fertility enhancing body work, and therapeutic massage. We learn, practice and eat based upon the traditional Chinese medical fertility enhancing diet.

Dr. Lewis begins the first retreat by coaching the women in an ancient Chinese breathing technique that focuses the body’s attention on and enhances the same life energies that invigorate the uterus and ovaries. She provides instruction on three different exercises which manually increase circulation to the reproductive organs themselves.

During the first week we learn how to open the mind to a new way of thinking, a new way of approaching and bringing out our full fertile potential, regardless of age or diagnosis.

We introduce the process of cognitive restructuring, uncovering blocking beliefs, incorporating the relaxation response, and learn how to lower our body’s response to life stressors.

During the retreat, there are amazing sessions led by Dr. Deborah Kern for help dealing with stress and it's affects on the body, understanding diet's relationship to fertility and overall health, Fertility Enhancing Body Prayer Yoga and more. Dr. Lewis' lectures include sessions on traditional Chinese medical understanding, enhancing ovarian response, and nourishing our source energies. There will also be a Q&A session on the fertility-enhancing diet recommended by Dr. Lewis.

Each woman will receive a traditional Chinese medical diagnosis from Dr. Lewis by providing paperwork in advance of the retreat. A member of Dr. Lewis' staff (a licensed acupuncturist specially trained by Dr. Lewis) will go over the diagnosis and administer the treatment recommended by Dr. Lewis. A take-home treatment plan will be provided upon return from the retreat including acupuncture recommendations and an herbal prescription along with general dietary guidelines.

The retreat winds down with the highlight of all our retreats, a group healing session, where everybody involved during the retreat becomes involved in the deepest healing experience we have ever witnessed.

And we conclude by revisiting the expectations we set up at the beginning of the retreat. In every single case, all women who have ever attended have said their expectations have been exceeded, and they have begun a process of transformation. And we wrap up with a beautiful, healing ritual that allows us to leave our “in-fertile” days behind us, and begin a new life of health, wholeness and fertile expression.

Session 2: Paradigm Shift - Balancing Life Energies

DVDs include the following:

Improving Our Reproductive Capacity

If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother, but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind. - Hua Hu Ching

Our reproductive systems are far greater than the function of the ovaries themselves. Our fertility depends on factors like how our hormones communicate inside our bodies, and how our tissues respond to them. When we are under stress, either physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or with the way we live our lives, our bodies do not respond adequately to our reproductive hormones. In fact, as far as our physiology has progressed through evolutionary development, our systems do not want us pregnant when our lifestyle is not congruent with supporting and nourishing a pregnancy. Our reproductive hormones take a back seat to the stress hormones.

During Session 2 we help the body reduce its stress response, settle down the system, and allow the interrelationship between our external world, the perception in the hypothalamus, its transmission to the pituitary gland and ovaries. We open up the channels of communication throughout the body. Conception is a process of openness and receptivity, yet most of us approach it with fierce, clenched determination, actually preventing its fruition.

Session 2 focuses on opening up the relationship between the external world and the internal world. We learn how the hormonal response is affected by the things we do, and by the things we don t do. We teach you to let go during the process of trying.

Dr. Lewis will take you through the doing and interacting energies of the spleen, liver, and lung systems of energetics during Session 2. You will learn to lift, maximize, and calm the imbalances of your own systems through the methods taught in Session 2. We actually turn up the volume of the approaches which have been employed since session A. You will learn to align the energies of your body, mind, emotions, and soul in a manner which is conducive to conception. Most women that attend the retreats need to form new patterns within their body-mind-soul. We have been taught that our doctors will fix us. Most women have learned through horrendous grief and suffering that reproductive clinics cannot improve our reproductive functioning. Only you can. Through Dr. Lewis diagnosis, she will instruct you on techniques which will allow your entire system to open up to allowing pregnancy. You will begin to form new, healthy, fertile patterns.

Lectures include: The Hormonal Response, Opening the Lung Energies With the Breath, Nourishing the Spleen Energies Through Diet and Nutrition, Clearing Our Liver Energies Through Stress Reduction, and Paradigm Shift Becoming Fertile!

Scheduled offerings include Qi Gong, Yoga, Nia, Element Typing 'Who Am I and How Do I Respond to the World' Diagnosis, Specifics on the TCM diet and associated acupressure along with our famous Group Healing.

We will help you to deepen the therapeutic work begun in session A and open up your soul to a level of healing - mimicking the letting go which occurs when women adopt or give up. We introduce the concept of surrender as we relinquish that which we can t control. We employ therapeutic laughter, belief restructuring, and connecting the spiritual, nurturing, and protective selves. You will be given a Fertile Soul Journal, and will be guided through the process of Journaling your Fertility signs, physical improvement, and releasing the stressors that occur along the way. Therapeutic writing and designing a personal mandala are also a part of session II s creative therapy. Learning to be honest with every emotion past, present and future, are vital in soul healing.

Dr. Deb Kern provides her meditative and restorative yoga sessions, her amazing Nia allows you to embrace and heal all aspects of your physical emotional being, and she helps you to find that place of peace and love within - where your body, mind, and soul are one. Understanding Deb s Body Wisdom philosophy allows your original feminine reproductive energies to emerge.

In a nutshell, Session 2 opens you up to deeper healing than the physical methods employed during session A. This would be considered the psycho-immuno-neuro-endocrinologic level of healing. Your body, mind, and soul are brought to a deeper level of healing. As is the case with every retreat, Dr. Lewis will review your file and make recommendations for treatment (presented and administered by one of our staff licensed acupuncturists) along with a home-based treatment plan which will be sent upon the attendee's return from the retreat.

Session 3: Mother of the Heart - Becoming Receptive to Implantation, Pregnancy, and Birth

DVDs include the following:

Becoming Receptive To Implantation, Pregnancy & Birth

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. - Albert Camus

In Session 3 we begin to experience the inherent joy involved in this otherwise heart-wrenching process. This is the time when our entire beings become receptive to receiving the spark of life within.

Throughout the process of learning to nurture the Mother Within, we become open to the miracle that life is. This is the final stage of transformation where the body says Yes - to allowing life through our reproductive meridians.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the Heart (which houses the Spirit) bestows its life giving power to the womb. The process of in-fertility itself can close off this process, so that regardless of our age, laboratory analysis or medical reproductive diagnosis, our very being has become closed off to the process of allowing life to express itself through us.

Session 3 takes you beyond eggs, seeds, and the hormonal reflection of imbalances into deeper issues that affect fertility, reproductive functioning, health, and happiness. You will be taught how to nourish the energies of the heart and spirit, direct them to the uterus, and open up to implantation. We study and learn the energetics of emotion and how negative emotions can affect our health, wellbeing and fertility. Our lectures and therapeutic sessions reflect the depth of Session 3 work. As is the case with every retreat, an evaluation, herbal prescription and home-based treatment plan is provided for each attendee along with acupuncture treatment. (Dr. Lewis will review your file and provide information to her staff acupuncturist who will go over the diagnosis and perform the acupuncture treatment).

We always address the patterns of imbalance which prevent implantation, yet Session 3 opens up to a new level of healing the spirit and soul. Dr. Christiane Northrup describes the necessity of fallow time to allow the cultivation of new life, new growth, new birth. We deepen the exercises of qi gong, yoga, body wisdom and Nia. You will enhance your creative, life giving powers with therapeutic art projects to express your deepest, fertile selves. Dr. Deb shines during Session 3 as she connects with the deeper aspects of your feminine healing. Dr. Lewis intensifies her connection with a more open you, and the level of healing you are ready to receive goes to the core of your very being.

As your heart energies open up, you will become more comfortable with the life giving energies within. You will learn to become less desperate in the search, a process which paradoxically allows pregnancy to occur. You will learn to view and relate with your body as a temple, expressing its many levels of procreative powers. You will learn to nurture the mother within, meditate and draw on levels of creativity that connect you to the souls of your unborn children. This is where your true fertility is cultivated.

In the process of becoming comfortable with your body, soul, and spirit, the most drastic levels of healing occur. Miraculous drops in FSH levels, the disappearance of endometriosis, the return of hormonal balance, the reduction of immunologic barriers to conception take place at this level.

You will connect with deeper creative expression and healing within, and emerge truly fertile at every level. You have committed yourself to a process of healing that has allowed you to go from the physical to the soul levels, and finally becoming receptive to the very spirit of life giving power itself. After your third session, the very spirit of divine healing will have made you a new, fertile, receptive, procreative woman. Your body, mind, soul, and spirit says, "Yes!"
