November- a birth story night. Share your story whether it was a home, birthcenter or hospital birth....bring a journal, pictures or film if you wish to share with other women or just listen to their stories. Some may choose to tell them to all and some to just one other. It will be a relaxed event. We will fire up the wood fired hot tub for those of you who wish to brave the cold air and go out by the river for a hot dip. Bring a potluck item, a friend, and your daughters.
Let's keep the tradition of birth story telling alive.
