Screening: Birth Documentary
New Documentary Leads the Way in Examining the Sensual Nature of Birth
Birth Resource Network and Gerri Ryan, LM, CPM proudly announces a screening of
Orgasmic Birth . . . a remarkable new documentary that examines the sensual and intimate nature of birth—an everyday miracle
WHEN: Friday, September 19th 6:30 – 8:30 pm at Mira Costa College
WHERE: 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA, 92056 – Little Theatre Room 3601, Parking in Lot 3-E
Students: FREE Suggested $5 donation benefits Birth Resource Network
Contact: Gerri Ryan,619-434-9188 or babycatcherglr@cox.net
Presented by MiraCosta College Behavioral Sciences Department, Birth Resource Network and Gerri Ryan, LM, CPM. A Panel of Experts (midwives, doulas and childbirth educators) will answer questions and lead an audience discussion exploring undisturbed birth – A Woman’s Right of Passage.
Five years in the making, Orgasmic Birth challenges cultural myths by revealing the emotional, spiritual, and physical heights attainable through birth. Viewers witness the passion of birth as 11 women have their babies in unhurried, non-medicalized settings—including hospital birth centers—where they feel supported and safe. According to birthing experts who provide commentary in the film, a pleasurable birth that is allowed to take its time is an integral part of women’s sexuality and a neglected human right.
Women’s health advocate and bestselling author Christiane Northrup, MD, observes in the film that people have been "brainwashed" to view birth not as a natural process but as "an emergency waiting to happen." Yet birth is an everyday miracle that the body is well equipped to handle, given the proper setting and caregivers and ample time.
Health professionals in the film who present their views with evidence-based support include:
• Sarah J Buckley, MD, general practitioner/family physician with qualifications in GP obstetrics; author of Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering
• Maureen Corry, MPH, executive director, Childbirth Connection, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of maternity care
• Elizabeth Davis, BA, CPM, midwife, author, international lecturer, and co-founder and director of the National Midwifery Institute, Inc.
• Ina May Gaskin, MA, CPM, world-renowned midwife, author, and founder/director of the Farm Midwifery Center in Summertown, Tennessee
• Marsden Wagner, MD, former director of Women’s and Children’s Health, World Health Organization
This film is currently being screened worldwide. Locally, midwives, physicians, nurses, families young and old are being invited to view this epic film. Please join us for this memorable evening.

The BOLD Red Tent...mother's voices...intimacy...truth
Who: Mother and Mothers-to-be
What: A sharing of stories and experiences
When: Sunday, September 14th, 2008
Where: 770 Rancho Santa Fe Dr., Encinitas, CA
Time: 2pm-6pmCost: $5 (proceeds benefit San Diego BORN)
Bring: A pillow to sit on. Babies-in-arms only.
The Birth Resource Network is proud to host a BOLD Red Tent Event. The concept is simple: gather women under a 'red tent' to listen to birth stories from our community and then use this 'testimonial' as a call-to-action by presenting a video to key local and national representatives.
We are calling all mothers and mothers-to-be to join us for this monumental event. We invite all stories; from the empowering that are to be celebrated, to the challenging births that need to be healed by telling your story.
All proceeds will benefit San Diego BORN, a non-profit organization that offers a one-stop resource for families to find mother- and baby-friendly maternity services. Refreshments will be served. This will be a very casual and safe environment.

Calling all pregnant mamas and babies under 2 weeks of age...
Mary from MKP Images is looking for models! Newborn shots shoul
d be within the babies first two weeks of life. This is crucial since babies older than that tend to be awake more often and stir when moved. If anyone is interested, she will waive the session fee and in return a model release is required. Any image can be purchased from the session at regular price. She would also have the artistic freedom to try out shots she would like to capture and experiment with.
This is a wonderful opportunity. Those Babies in Bloom customers that had this opportunity a few months ago were rewarded with some absolutely stunning photos! Call or email Mary using the contact information on her website.
