Birth Week Association and Birth Week

Birth Week is a five-day annual event promoting conscious and empowered birth, the sharing of stories and wisdom, creating support networks for families, and fostering community. The Birth Week Association is a group of passionate women and men committed to bringing the community together to participate in the event Birth Week.

The dates for Birth Week 2009 are Wednesday 27th – Sunday 31st May.

Birth Week brings together pregnant women/couples, mothers, fathers, doulas, midwives, and other interested persons, in a beautiful, safe and nurturing space. We share our birth experiences, our knowledge, skills and wisdom. Sessions are facilitated in circle style, with the knowledge that every woman’s body holds the wisdom and ability to birth her baby. Birth Week’s aim is to create a space to bring that innate wisdom forward.

We continue honouring the journey of birth and parenting through facilitating ongoing monthly father’s meetings and birth stories evenings which enable people to deepen relationships and create support networks.

You are invited to become a member of the Birth Week Association. Your subscription goes to the creation of Birth Week, which is an entirely community funded, non-profit event. You will receive a copy of our annual journal ‘Birth Stories’ and news of other Birth Week events.
