I'm hosting a midwifery education day at the cool little bistro Mint Tea!
I'll be showing the documentary "The Business of Being Born," and you will hear from 2 rad homebirth midwives serving families in SW Washington along with first hand stories from some lovely mamas and papas about why they chose to birth with a Certified Professional Midwife at home and at a free standing birth center. And, snag some coupons for free fancy cloth diapers from Cotton Babies! (while supplies last)
I wanted to have this event because I am passionate about educating the public about birth, options, and discuss the very real fact that our perceptions of birth are shaped by our culture, fear, media.
There is a serious shortage of midwives in Washington state, especially the Vancouver area, and because this is my community where I want to serve as a midwife (somewhere in Southern Washington...the gorge is my most favorite place in all the world. And there are no midwives there as far as I can tell.)
I want to create a space where families can be honest, vulnerable, ask questions, and gain insight.
If all goes well this time around I will host an event like this again next month showing another birth related documentary and holding a discussion around it.
So come on out June 4th ! Spread the word.
xoxo

Yay! Go Beth! I wish I could serve with you in Washington, there's just the small issue of around 6000miles! Ah well, at least the women of Washington are safe with you. Good luck in your ventures, they're lucky to have you xxxxx
