Village Prenatals

A Free Community Gathering to Celebrate Birthing in Power
Saturday, July 12, 2025 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Hosted in collaboration with Full Circle Holistic

We are honored to offer Village Prenatals — a sacred community space inspired by Elder Midwife Sister Morningstar. These circles are designed to uplift and honor pregnant women, while creating a space for women who have birthed in power to share their stories.

In a culture saturated with traumatic birth narratives, Village Prenatals are a return to sisterhood and celebration. Together, we listen, bless, share food, offer belly painting, and create meaningful rituals that support and honor the journey into motherhood.

✨ This is a free, in-person gathering open to all pregnant people, regardless of where, how, or with whom you plan to birth.
🌀 Come receive support, share stories, or simply soak in the collective wisdom of your community.

“The food, the massage, the space to share and just be with other women — it was one of the most memorable parts of my pregnancy. I appreciated it so much.”

Birth Story Medicine Circle

Free Community Event for Sharing and Healing Birth Stories
Sunday, June 29, 2025 | 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
In collaboration with Full Circle Holistic

In times past, birth stories were shared around the hearth or well — woven into the fabric of community life. Today, many parents first encounter birth through fear-filled media or clinical detachment.

This circle offers something different.

Birth Story Medicine Circles are sacred, supportive spaces where women can share their birth stories and receive compassionate witnessing. Whether you’re holding unspoken joy or healing from trauma, your experience matters and deserves to be held in a conscious, nonjudgmental way.

We'll open with simple guidelines for respectful listening, non-arguable sharing, and heartfelt feedback. Sharing is always optional — presence alone is powerful.

💬 All birth experiences welcome
🌸 All who identify as women welcome
🌱 No cost to attend

“I am still in shock at how the medical system treats pregnant women — especially women of color — and I’m so grateful this space exists. It matters deeply.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and prepare for the journey ahead!
