Lecture 3: Womb Life: Why we need to take prenatal life more seriously

5 March 2026

This lecture will be recorded.

Please note: This recording will be sent out a few days after the lecture and only be available for TWO WEEKS.

Lecturer: Graham Music

This talk will explore the importance of pregnancy, and life in the womb, and the later consequences of those experiences. The talk will examine the latest scientific findings on pregnancy and the incredible life of the foetus, what affects the foetus positively or adversely, and consider how life before birth, and lives before conception, can sculpt a baby’s lifelong health, for example via the mother’s ancestral inheritances, trauma, stress levels, and emotional states. The talk raises the question of whether we should be asking more about the very earliest experiences of our complex clients to help us and them make sense of their lives.
The talk will link together therapeutic insights, real-life stories and new science to make the case for the importance of this most early and vulnerable periods of a life.
