With this warmer weather I am feeling more inspired to be moving my body again. Our muscles are warmer and more open to being stretched. In fact, we had our first session of gentle yoga for mums and bubs last month and it went so well so that we are going to hold it more regularly. The smiles and squeals from the babies demonstrated they were enjoying this new view of mum too. Of course, there was breaks for breast feeding in between stretches and the session flowed along quiet nicely.
This month I have 2 new films to be showing you! The first is called Freedom for Birth. This is a new documentary that reframes childbirth as the most pressing global Human Rights issue today and hundreds of premieres will be being launched all over the world on the same day. Bronwyn Moir, local midwife and mother is making sure that we can be a part of this action!
Freedom For Birth is a 60 minute documentary featuring a Who's Who of leading birth experts and international Human Rights lawyers all calling for radical change to the world's maternity systems. To make it accessible to more people, we are holding the screening at night. It is on Thursday 20th September at 6.30pm and the suggested donation is $5. Additional information about Freedom For Birth can be found on the website: http://freedomforbirth.com

The second film I will be screening is the Big Stretch Sequel. After the wonderful revelations of ‘The Big Stretch’, prepare to stretch again, and stretch even further! Be uplifted, inspired, informed and impressed by committed and self-responsible parents. Through 13 individual chapters they show us how possible it is to work creatively with each unique birth and respond to challenges and the unexpected. This is a celebration of natural birth and the innate wisdom of parents and babies. See www.birthwork.com for more info.
We will also be nourishing our mental and emotional wellbeing by using art as a process to explore parenting. By allowing our creative juices to flow, we give voice to our subconscious and can explore deeper aspects of our selves and our journey.

Birth art is one of the many Birthing From Within processes that allows people to have fun whilst learning. I will be running the next holistic prenatal workshop on 6th October at Nurture Studio in Lismore. Be prepared to deepen your understanding, awaken your intuition and build your confidence about birth and parenting. You will have the chance to explore birth like never before, build a coping mindset with proven practices, learn practical birth support skills and ease the transition to postpartum and parenthood.
