In October the Takoma Park Birthing Circle will celebrate the power of stories. This monthly Birth Salon will be held October 2 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., as the group discusses the power of birth stories for expectant women, mothers, and our society. You'll hear a few good birth stories in full and will have the chance to hear anecdotes from participants that share every aspect of giving birth.
The Takoma Park Birthing Circle meets the first Sunday of every month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Sangha, 7014 Westmoreland Ave in Takoma Park. All are welcome, including parents, expectant parents, child caregivers, and birth professionals.
