The first official bimonthly Dublin Birth Gathering! Dublin Birth Gathering is a group for people interested in good birth, and in coming along to informal gatherings to share and talk about birth. This is the initiative of 2 student midwives, but we hope will be a space for wide ongoing participation and diverse future gatherings in various locations. The first gathering is for Sunday lunch on the 3rd of July midday to 3pm. Location: Sarah's house, Dublin 5. Bring a dish to share. Sarah and Shonagh will feedback on a Birth Gathering we recently attended, and further explain the concept. Then, after lunch, we will facilitate a "tricks of the trade" skillshare. All are welcome to attend and contribute - midwives, students, doulas, mamas, birth activists, educators, supporters etc.. Kids welcome, but let us know age and stage. Please forward to those who you think would be interested. RSVP [log in to unmask] for address. Notes from the skillshare will be posted as a document to the Dublin Birth Gathering facebook group.
