The class spans 7 weeks during pregnancy,

over which time we take a real look

at personal, familial, and cultural

perceptions about pregnancy and birth,

and question the paradigm of fear;

instead we enliven trust, faith, and confidence in this innate process. 

We can use this time to reflect on the infinite line of parents before us, and reconnect or deepen the connection

with our selves, our partners, and one another.  We will share a sacred space where we can allow ourselves to be vulnerable, introspective, and expressive.

Natural birth should not be seen

as ‘radical’.  We will cover topics of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and parenting.  We’ll also discuss how to be fully prepared in the event you are giving birth in hospital and how to remain empowered if you find yourself needing interventions.  The 8th and final class will be held after the babes are born and will be an extra hour to allow for ample social time. :) 

Each class will incorporate art -

as a means for self-exploration and revealing hidden thoughts and feelings, as well as for remembrance of these special times.  Absolutely no experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.
