Meetings are held on the 4th Saturday of every month with the exception of November and December due to the holidays. Birth professionals (midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, counselors, etc.) meet for a coffee/tea peer review from 10 am to noon. At noon, the meeting opens up to the public. While we do have topics from time to time, the meetings primarily go in the direction of the needs of the attendees for that day. Read more

New Greeting for“Hey good to see you're here too, I am fairly active in the Rke playgroups so if you want to hang out and talk feel free. I'm seeming more cruncy than the chicks in that group, eh well maybe you are maybe you're not but at any rate maybe you won't look at me strangely when I talk about my homebirth and see me using cloth diapers!”posted by Catherine Sizer
