Ready to stomp out BORING
childbirth classes??
Passion for Birth
(PfB) knows to "stomp out boring childbirth classes" is a HUGE challenge
but we are working to inspire, support and equip childbirth educators around the world to be dynamic and evidenced-based while
including "fun" and interactivity in their classes! Watch our clip below to see what
we mean! We hope we see you at a PfB workshop soon! In the past 5 years, we've had almost 100 workshops in more than 60 cities in 7 countries!
We've gathered in yoga studios, hospital classroom, living rooms, church basements, and various community meeting rooms.
If we are not coming near you, HOST a workshop! Are
you wondering why you can't learn how NOT to be boring on-line? As we haul our overstuffed suitcases through airports, it's tempting to think about doing things on-line or converting
to PowerPoint. BUT, we are having such an awesome time gathering with small groups of people who really want to be incredible
educators. We can't give up on the "magic" that happens in those three days as the group shares and grows
and becomes equally committed to stomping out boring childbirth classes as we are. "But I like working
at odd hours when the house is quiet"
And trust us, if you are becoming Lamaze certified, the Study Guide is quite extensive and as you
work through it, you will be spending lots of time on-line! In addition, Passion for Birth already has lots of web-based support
(discussion boards, webinars, email lists, seminar specific websites, etc) to supplement your seminar and support you as you
find your way to be an incredible childbirth educator. So right now while you can do most of the "work" of being
an effective, evidenced based educator on your computer "in your pajamas in the middle of the night" as you work
through the study guide, create your course design and "chat" with others on the PfB boards, we hope you can find
space in your busy life to come to a seminar where we model what we "preach" and you will leave inspired! (and equipped
with so many teaching strategies, unique visual aids and confidence that you know the evidence that supports normal, active
birth that your teaching bag will be as overstuffed as ours!)
