About the Event
This weekend intensive is designed for expectant parents who are curious how practicing mindfulness can impact their capacity during labor, birth, parenting, and beyond. It is also open to health-care professionals who want to learn more about Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP).
Co-taught by mindfulness practitioners, including a nurse midwife who has attended more than 1,000 births, you learn how to:
Practice mindfulness for working with pain and fear during labor
Understand the mind/body connection in childbirth
Be fully present to give comfort and support as a birth partner/support person
Bring mindfulness to the contractions of labor, and the "contractions" of life, and the space in between contractions
