January Monthly Meeting: Birth Videos

Wednesday, January 26

from 7:00 to 8:30pm

at the Athens Library

For our first meeting of the year, we'll show a variety of professional birth videos -- hospital birth, home birth, even births in the ocean! The videos are all of positive birth experiences. We'll have time in between to share impressions and answer questions.

*Thanks to this month's Evening Sponsor: Lifeways Parent-Child Program, and Certification Course

Missy Whaley is a certified Llifeways Early Childhood instructor who has a program, Rainbow Heart And Wings. Lifeways is a relationship-based care approach to caring for young children in child care centers and in the home. The model is based on the "living arts" (daily activities in the home, nurturing care, discovery and deep relations). Missy will share the intention of the Lifeways approach at an upcoming parent-child program that will be offered to Birth Circle folks (exact dates to be announced). There is also a year-long, part-time certification course for parents and teachers beginning in June 2011, where on-site coursework will be split between Columbus and Athens. For more information on the certification course, contact Missy at 740-448-7248 or missymoo4peace@gmail.com. Details on the parent-child program will come soon.
