Join this special event to honour the importance of your birth journey and mothering journey. Run by warm hearted, open-minded Doulas.
This event is the whole reason the Birth Movement exists !!! As a pregnant womn I was LUCKY enough to attend circle meetings such as these in the Hunter about 11 years ago.... they supported me through loss, through missing out on Belmont, through finding my way a sa mother to a daughter! And so much more!!!
These monthly meetings are a 35 year long TRADITION in the HUNTER!
If you are a human, you are welcome.
Once a month we gather, pregnant women, wise women, supporters, guest speakers, doulas and more...
Each circle begins with self introductions, positive birth stories shares and follows up with a circle of shares on the focus topic.
All participants are welcome to speak as their turn comes in circle, or say "pass" amd be a listener.
Meetings are facilitated to be welcoming, non-judgemental, warm hearted and emotionally helpful and empowering for pregnant and post partum women.
Topics ahead for 2024:
