A Small Group Intensive · David Bedrick
Unshaming Parenting
Learning to see the beauty, gifts, and wholeness in the parent you already are.
Most of us carry an inner critic when it comes to parenting — a voice shaped not just by our own doubts, but by a culture that holds mothers especially accountable for everything their children suffer. That burden becomes internalized as guilt. And guilt, however painful, does not make us better parents.
This intimate gathering is an invitation to something different. Together, we'll look at how shame takes root — and how it can be met, unshamed, and transformed. We'll explore different approaches to parenting not as a checklist of rights and wrongs, but as an expression of who you genuinely are: your gifts, your style, your limitations, your life.
For example, if you live with chronic symptoms, you may not parent in long focused hours — but you offer something else. If you work outside the home, that shapes you too. These are not failures. They are part of the texture of your parenting, and they deserve to be seen with care.
The format for our time together is experiential and exploratory. You will watch as each parent works directly with David — going into the body, finding the voice of the parent within, learning the dance of presence, limitation, and love. You will be moved. And that movement will teach you more than any protocol could.
