Midwifery: caring, collaboration and challenges – an international perspective. Marijke van Roojen, LM CPM There is an inherent perfection in childbearing and birth as a significant life process, one which does best without undue interference. Midwives believe that attempts to control the process inevitably alter it and may harm the delicate balance, and are seriously concerned about the growing extent of interference. They offer a different option that focuses on quietly facilitating the spontaneous process of pregnancy, labor and birth, utilizing interventions only as truly necessary for the safety and well-being of mother and child.

Week 7 |
Meet in the LonghouseDance as a healing and centering tool Amara Pagano has been teaching the dance and 5Rhythms internationally for the past eight years. Sara Pagano started dancing fourteen years ago, and has since been blessed with exploring and sharing this unfolding dance of life.
Discuss: Evaluation Guide – will be on line here, due May 27 |
The 5Rhythms is a physical and spiritual practice into which we can pour our dreams, our prayers, and our troubles, putting the pieces of who we are into motion, where the pieces can re-form, where we can heal. The 5Rhythms is not about enlightenment of the mind, but about embodiment of our selves, and connection to this profound world we live upon. We are awakening and re-claiming an aliveness and love of this one life we are given to live, in our dance, on the dance floor. And we are infusing our whole lives with our connection to our own unique dance. |
