Join Birthworms -- a cozy book club for doulas & birthworkers to connect, share insights on birthy reads, and grow together in community!About this Event
Welcome to Birthworms, the book club where doulas, birthworkers, and birthing allies come together to dive into literature that feeds our hearts and grows our practice. Co-facilitated by Lawren Flynn and Joslin DuPuis and graciously hosted at the Upstate Lactation Collective.
Wiggling our way through birthy reads—we meet monthly to:
- Read & Reflect: Share insights, questions, and passages that moved or challenged you
- Connect & Care: Form deep bonds with supportive colleagues in a cozy, judgment-free space
- Grow Together: Explore themes like postpartum care, birth justice, trauma-informed support, and embodiment
- Nourishment: sharing sips and snacks in community nourishes our bodies and souls
What to Expect
- No pressure to finish the whole book—come as you are
- A guided discussion with thoughtful prompts
- Wine, tea, light snacks, and soft vibes -- bring a dish, snack, bottle, or drink to share if you feel called to do so!
- A warm, supportive atmosphere to nurture your practice and your soul
