About this Event
Join us for an outdoor screening of Allowed to Birth, a documentary exploring birth across cultures, the medicalization of childbirth, maternal health, and the importance of autonomy, trust, and more holistic approaches to maternity care.
We’ll begin with the film (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes), followed by an open discussion and panel hosted by local doulas Nicole and Tara. It’s an opportunity to learn, share perspectives, ask questions, and connect with others in our community. Everyone is welcome!
