Repeat!

For those who missed our May meeting, this month, August 8, we will again be watching the documentary Orgasmic Birth with a quick discussion afterward. The movie is an hour and a half long, but feel free to come and go as you must.  Also, if you haven’t yet received one of our New Mama bags (or your membership card), please come and pick it up!  Don’t forget to join us for our play dates as well, scheduled every third Thursday of the month.  Our next play date is August 18 from 10:30 - 11:30am, tentatively planned at Shawnee park in Xenia; details and reminder to follow.  

For more information on Orgasmic Birth, here’s a synopsis from the website

 

Orgasmic Birth is a documentary that examines the intimate nature of birth, an everyday miracle, and the powerful role it plays in women’s lives when they are permitted to experience it fully. This documentary asks viewers to reexamine everything they thought they knew about giving birth and the potential it holds.

Undisturbed birth is revealed as an integral part of women’s sexuality and a widely neglected human right. Couples share their birth experiences, discussing their fears and how they found the support, nurturing, and ultimately the power and strength within themselves to labor and birth their babies in a beautiful, loving, and ecstatic way.

The Xenia Chapter of the Dar a Luz Network meets every second Monday of the month at 7 pm at 819 S. Detroit Street in Xenia.  All meetings are free and open to the public. Children are welcome, although space is limited.
