The Birth Journey

Please note that this curriculum is subject to change and shift with the needs and goals of the group. One of the benefits of in-person group learning is that we all get to learn from each other and grow as a collective. Therefore, please use this curriculum as a guide and treat it as fluid. We will attempt to get through each topic on the week when they are scheduled, but other topics and discussions may come up that take priority and benefit the group in the moment.
