Write your Birth Story

3 Day Series

When: July 17-18-19 (12-2pm, 12-2pm, 12-2:30pm)

Where: Virtual

Our society often does not provide space for processing the deeply important experience of birth. Whether you experienced a joyous or traumatic delivery of your baby, there is no denying that this experience can deeply change your identity. In this workshop we will use writing, art, sharing, and discussion to explore the various stages of your personal birth story and what it means to your transition to parenthood. All experiences and emotions are welcome, and you don’t need to be a writer or artist to participate! Sharing is encouraged but not required. 

Food & Mood: What we eat impacts how we feel

This wellness workshop is all about perinatal nutrition and its relation to perinatal mental health. Come learn the latest evidence-based recommendations plus practical tips regarding how our food, especially during pregnancy, can shape mental wellness during postpartum and beyond. Led by Midwife and Nutrition Therapist Colleen Forbes: www.homemidwiferycare.com/nutrition

Processing the Postpartum Transition through Writing and Art

The transition into being a new parent – even when you already are a parent – can deeply change your identity. In this workshop we will use writing, art, sharing, and discussion to explore the various stages of that transition. All experiences and emotions are welcome, and you don’t need to be a writer or artist to participate! Sharing is encouraged but not required. Childcare is available.
