Fertile Heart Workshops and Teleconferences
The Fertile Heart Ovum Practice aka the Indichova-Baum-Ovum-Work, is more than just a program; it’s a community of women and couples from around the world wrestling with fertility-related challenges, who come together to explore a lot “less travelled road” toward parenthood. We supporte each other in remembering that our longing for a child might be “an invitation to roll up our sleeves and discover that change is possible. That what we feel and believe about ourselves and the world, and the action we choose to take, can make a difference.” (The Fertile Female) It begins with a radical willingness to think and feel for ourselves and fully engage in every aspect of our fertility treatment, whether it’s our Fertile Heart Ovum practice, fertility acupuncture, and in-vitro-cycle or any other healing modality.
Our fertility support teleconferences and workshops are all about community building and cultivating an activist attitude toward the thriving infertility industrial complex. Does our next choice support a growing industry or do we speak up for the not-yet-born generation of children we so fervently long to bring into the world? Is our next choice going to truly feed our fertility, or is it guided by desperation and destined to deplete us?.
Please check out our frequently-updated calendar of free Fertile Heart community chats, online teleconference intensives, in person fertility retreats, and other upcoming events. Each teleconference and workshop has a particular set of guidelines, some have pre-requisites, so please review the details of each to make sure it’s teh right match for your current needs.

Meeting Your Child Halfway: An All Day Infertility Workshop* with Julia Indichova11:00 am – 6:00 pm
Introduction to the Fertile Heart™ Ovum Fertility Practice
A seven hour intensive in Woodstock, NY with Julia IndichovaDate/Time: Sunday, June 23rd is closed; next workshop open for registration is on June 30th, 11:00 to 6:00PM Cost: $285.00 ($450/couple)*
Registration: Please email us info@fertileheart.com; most sessions end up with a waiting list, but you’re welcome to inquire about space at any point. For last minute inquiries please call 845-679-5469.
An introductory workshop focused on increasing fertility and overall level of health through an original mind/body program. The program is appropriate for anyone interested in hands-on tools to either augment their current treatment or to explore a radically holistic alternative. This is a workshop based on processes Julia used to overcome her own difficulty to conceive 19 years ago, as well as on her work with thousands of individuals, and couples over the last 18 years. The aim of the Fertile Heart Ovum practice is to turn our fertility challenge into a pilgrimage of self-discovery and discover the immense power we all have to create change in our bodies, our lives and in the world.
The most important question to ask ourselves, is not: “What are my chances of conceiving?” but rather: ”Do I feel a longing for a child and am I willing to follow it?”
For those of us who are facing a specific health challenge linked to our impaired ability to carry a full term pregnancy, the question might be: “Can I trust that my body is not my enemy, but a friend trying to flag me down before I run full speed into a brick wall?”
Some of the issues addressed:
- How do we separate ourselves from the collective hysteria of “the last good egg” and honor our own rhythm of healing?
- What is the true meaning of “holistic” in our approach to health challenges?
- How do we use the tools of the Fertile Heart Ovum Practice (Food, Imagery, Dream-Reading, Body Truth) to identify physical, emotional and spiritual obstacles to a healthy full term pregnancy?
- How do we use the Fertile Heart tools to become our own “authorities” on what is or is not possible for us?
- How do we choose treatments that resonate with us? Is fertility acupuncture always the best choice of a complementary treatment? How do we choose a healthcare provider that will offer the support we need?
- How do we let go of the destructive effect of statistics and other people’s ideas of what is or is not possible for us?
- What nutritional and lifestyle adjustments will enhance conception and overall well being?
- How do we tilt the scale in favor of a healthy birth when using Assisted Reproductive Technology?
What to bring
Please wear comfortable clothing, we will be doing some movement. Also bring lunch, a couple of bottles of water, a snack, a notebook and a blanket or a large towel. Thank you for refraining from wearing perfumes; many people are allergic.*Please NOTE:
After registering you must email us with a request for directions. Refunds or rescheduling will only be accommodated up to 48 hours prior to the workshop. Please contact us if you have any questions concerning our cancellation policy. Send all inquiries to info@fertileheart.com*All of the Fertile Heart workshops are fertility workshops and certainly not infertility workshops.

Timezone: GMT; London
Registration: Dates of this series: July 1, 8, 22, August 5, NOTE NEW TIME 7:30 London Time. The pre-requisite for this series is either the 3 Session Introductory Teleconference Series or the Woodstock workshop. You are welcome to join at any point during the ongoing series,pro-rating the registration fee accordingly, as long as there is an opening in the group and you have completed the pre-requisites of 3 Session Series or Woodstock workshop. Please always check about availability before registering by sending a note to info@fertileheart.com. Send the check for the appropriate number of sessions to PO Box 767, Woodstock, NY, 12498
Dear Fertile Hearted Friends,
This Level 2 Series is for those of you who have completed the 3 Session Introductory Series or have atttended the Meeting Your Child Halfway Woodstock workshop and wish to continue to practice the tools in the company of other amazing, fiercely fertile visionary moms and moms-to-be.
Chances are you’ve heard me say this before but here it is again: the Ovum Birthing Practice is a practice, and the more you engage with it the clearer your connection with the UM within you and the more grounded you’ll become in the Visionary part of you that knows how to choose the next best step on your journey.
This group is intended to be a circle of moms who wish to continue to discover how much power they have to create change in their own bodies and lives and in the world and who wish to actively support the co-creation of a visible, audible, activist Fertile Heart community.
And since we are cultivating an activist attitude we will spend part of our time talking about ways to strengthen the voice of our community in the world of reproductive health.
The intention of this ongoing group continues to be the same as in the introductory sessions, to offer you the support you might need to:
• Keep engaging with the practice before the heartache of multiple failed fertility treatments, or before you spend a year “dabbling” in imagery or Body Truth without fully following through on either.
• To deepen your understanding of the Ovum ideas and tools and to continue to identify and overcome the specific inner obstacles that keep you from becoming a parent.
• To offer you a chance to ask questions and feedback on your particular circumstances. (This is a larger group and I might not always be able to address each person’s issues, but ultimately we all wrestle with the same questions.)
• To deepen our understanding of the difference between being a passive observer of infertiiity politics and becoming a game-changer dedicated to turning the tide of Reproductive Technopoly* toward sustainable reproductive healthcare.
• To heed the call of our not-yet-born children to become agents of hope and change in our much-in-need-of-evolution human family.
In addition to deepening our understanding of the Ovum tools, the topics covered will also be determined by the ongoing needs of participants. Before registering kindly read the note below about the materials you’ll need for the class, you should have them from the Level One Series, but just to make sure you have all you need for full participation in this group.
Thank you for your interest, I look forward to a rich time of learning!
Julia
Note about logistics of calling in to the teleconference and about materials:
Connecting:
You will be making a long distance call, so having a good long distance plan is useful. You are welcome to call through Skype but often Skype connections create static on the line and you might need to be on mute for the duration of the call or hang up. Often the same is true for cell phones. I guess, to me, a preparation for parenthood includes having a landline. A growing volume of research points toward health and environmental damage of extensive cell phone use.
Materials:
I will be suggesting specific home practice assignments from each of the following supplemental resources. (Many people who join the teleconferences already own the CD’s and books, which is why I did not include them in the fee for the program. The books are available on Amazon and all bookstores, the CD’s are only available through www.fertileheart.com)
Fertile Heart™ Imagery CD
Fertile Heart™ Imagery 2
Fertile Heart™ Body Truth CD
The Fertile Female
Inconceivable
These materials will give you a rich repertoire of Fertile Heart remedies to choose from. It’s a one time only investment that will be a resource not only for your baby journey but for every other creation you long to bring forth. (You could probably get all three CD’s and books for the average fee of one fertility acupuncture sessions
Note: Because of the emotionally charged nature of the subject matter, the facilitator reserves the right to withdraw the invitation to participate from anyone at any point during the ongoing workshops or teleconferences. We appreciate your understanding.
*Technopoly. a term coined by the late cultural critic, Neil Postman. is a system wherein technology is always viewed as positive and of value, with little consideration of its consequences. “It is the kind of friend” writes Postman “that asks for trust and obedience because its gifts are truly bountiful. But, of course, there is a dark side to this friend. Its gifts are not without a heavy cost.”

Dear Supremely Fertile Moms and Moms-To-Be,
We’ve recently added this new intensive 3 Session fertility support series in response to the many requests from those of you who wished to have a real-time systematic introduction to the Ovum tools with me.
This will be a closed group with no new participants joining for the duration of the Series, insuring each person the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how to use the Ovum tools to identify the physical, emotional and spiritual obstacles that might be blocking conception and a healthy birth.
The Fertile Heart tools as noted elsewhere, can be used in conjunction with mainstream fertility treatment such as IVF, or holistic fertility treatments like acupuncture.
Or you can use them and the Fertile Heart Program as an independent healing modality when it’s time to “take a break from it all” and focus on birthing your “inner fertility specialist.” Then the next step you take can be guided by your wisest kindest Ultimate Mama, rather than desperation or panic.
Space is limited, early registration recommended.
More about the Series:
Having witnessed the power of the Fertile Heart™ Ovum Practice with thousands of clients over the last seventeen years, it’s pretty clear that they are not that easy to practice without guidance and community. One great bonus of teaching the workshops and teleconferences as often as I do is that I get to “live the work” with some amazing mamas and papas every time I teach it.
The Indichova-Baum Ovum Work, another name for this practice which makes a nifty acronym IBOW, is in essence a profound healing practice that creates observable changes on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. As with any practice, the deeper we dig, the more gold we hit and as with any practice, it’s difficult for an individual to sustain the level of commitment needed on her/his own. Not to mention that it’s a lot more exciting to explore the ideas and test them out with other people. We humans all wrestle with similar difficulties and one person’s insight can lead to an important revelation for everyone present.
One of the most gratifying aspects of my work is to see the immense transformation that can happen in the course of the seven hours of the Fertile Heart™ Fertility Retreat Intensive. As the wonderful dad at the end of the Fertility Success Stories Video put it, The person who walks in, is not the same person that walks out.”
And one of the most challenging aspects of my work is to witness missed opportunities. To have a clear sense after hearing about someone’s symptoms, circumstances or diagnosis, that conception is well within the realm of the possible. Then receive an mail a year later such as the one that came attached to an order of CD’s last week: “Dear Julia, You may remember me from your workshop a year ago. I just got a call from my doctor, the third IVF we tried this year failed, I’m ready to dive into the work.”
So once again, the intention of this series is to offer you the support you might need to:
• To deepen your understanding of the Ovum ideas and tools including FH Imagery, Body Truth, Food as an Ovum Tool, and to begin to apply them to your own story and diagnosis.
• To offer you a chance to ask questions and feedback on your particular circumstances and diagnosis without the expense of a private consultation. (At the moment I’m devoting time to reproductive healthcare activism, and developing new support resources which leaves me with limited time for private consultations. )
• To create a common base of experience with the Fertile Heart™ tools and offer support with the questions that rise up when we engage fully with the practice, in preparation for co-creating a larger community of fertility game changers. If the ideas and the tools of the practice make sense to you, after completing this series, you can choose to “dive” into the work in the company of other amazing mamas in our ongoing Fertility Suppor Circle Series, before the heartache of multiple failed fertility treatments, or before you spend a year “dabbling” in imagery or Body Truth without fully following through on either.
• To heed the call of our not-yet-born children to turn the tide of Reproductive Technopoly* toward sustainable reproductive healthcare and become agents of hope in our much-in-need-of-evolution human family.
In addition to the central ideas and tools of the Ovum practice focused on strengthening you on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, the topics covered will also be determined by the specific challenges of participants in each group. Before registering kindly read the note below about the materials you’ll need for the class and the guidelines for the series, to make sure that it’s a resource that matches your current needs.
Thank you very much for taking the leap, I look forward to a rich time of learning!
Julia
Feedback from recent participants:I participated in the Intensive Teleconference Series with Julia a few weeks ago as a newbie to the Fertile Heart Ovum practice. I am delighted to say that after five years of trying I just had my first ever positive pregnancy test at the doctor’s office. This was the result of a FET/IVF. However, I feel like my Fertile Heart imagery work was extremely important to getting me here…
Kristen T., USA (Shared on the Connections Forum of FH)Thank you so much Julia for your guidance on the calls the last 3 weeks. It is no accident that I joined this series after I was already pregnant. In fact, I am so grateful I didn’t know I was pregnant when I registered because had I found out before I would have assumed that I no longer needed the guidance or work.
Jen T. New York, NY, USAGood morning Julia. I have had a very busy week with lots of changes… It’s been lovely actually…I have continued to do my Fertile Heart Imagery and Body Truth– I LOVE the wailing wall by the way! I am seeing some interesting changes in my imagery, the images are starting to change and become more clear…I’m a physician working part time in family practice and part time in palliative care…After much thinking and realization I have decided to leave the palliative care job. . I wouldn’t have had the courage or insight to move forward with this without your program. Thank you so much. Below are this weeks home work assignments.
Kate M. Ontario, Canada“I have been incredibly moved by this intensive. Your guidance is wonderful and I have learnt so much from listening to all the kindred women in the group. I do feel that I have started to open up Thank you so much for helping to launch me on this quest.”
Love,
Tina W.“I couldn’t go to bed without saying a final goodnights to all of you. This series has been very rewqrding, very beautiful and very instructive and it has certainly kick-started my Ovum practice. I love those magical moments in the circles when it becomes to tangible that things are opening up and becoming clear for one of us and then the whole circles benefits from those moments,especially when you look through the UM eyes.”
Katherine, O. (Shared on the Connections Forum of FH)Note about logistics of calling in to the teleconference and about materials:
Connecting:
You will be making a long distance call, so having a good long distance plan is useful. You are also welcome to dial in through Skype. After registering through Paypal, please email us for further instructions and Dial-in information at info@fertileheart.com.

"Two years ago today I took Julia’s workshop through the Learning Annex. It was Saint Patrick;s day and my friend Alice and I went. We sat in the first row and I was so moved and inspired by Julia and her experience that I decided to join her Fertile Heart Circle Meetings in New York city. I now have a son Alejandro who is 2 months old today. I know my meeting Julia and her work was a huge contribution to my getting pregnant naturally at age 43 and giving birth 3 days before my 44th birthday. I strongly encourage anyone interested in getting pregnant or “giving birth” to whatever that may be to take Julia’s workshop. I am forwarding Julia’s information to the women in my life." —Kathy I., New Jersey
