Student midwives will become good at the medical side of Midwifery, that’s a given. This gathering is different, it is addressing the unspoken, the magical, the unseen side of midwifery, the wounds and the gifts that we bring to our practice, how we can be in integrity in a system that often lacks respect for the powerful forces of life and birth.

And most importantly how to be together in a way that acknowledges the hardships, gives real support, teaches us how to listen with the ears of our heart to the reflection of ourselves in each other. 

We can then take this embodied experience of presence, trust and kindness to the families whose care is entrusted to us. We can be stronger from having experienced it.
