Lori Daley hosted a Birth Circle at the Lansdowne Public Library in June 27; Many important stories, laughs, and tears shared. We had great discussions about the power of birth, our many feelings as mothers, adding to our families, and overall - the journey we are all on. For all of those who couldn't make it this time, look for more info about the next meeting happening in September!
A Birth Circle is a safe environment where women can gather and share their birth stories and listen to others' in a non-judgmental environment.
