CO-SPONSOR EVENTS

Monday, June 30 - Orgasmic Birth film screening with director Debra Pascali-Bonaro at 7 pm at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle.  What would happen if women were taught to enjoy birth rather than endure it?  In answering that question, Orgasmic Birth poses the ultimate challenge to our cultural myths. The viewer becomes an intimate part of the birth stories of 11 women who said YES to this journey. The movie also includes commentary by Dr. Christiane Northrup, Ina May Gaskin, and other experts in the field. Registration
