We send love and blessings to all those suffering in Haiti

WebMistress — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:51:01 +0000

To our sister midwives, who have answered the call to aid in the enormous need, we also send special prayers for safety and endurance. As they lovingly guide life into this world may they help heal wounds and give hope as well. The world needs midwives now as much or more than ever.

The days are getting longer now. Like new shoots stirring under the earth we are beginning to reach for the light. We hold possibility, nurture growth and give selflessly. Just as we do this for the women, babies and families that we serve, we need to come together to nurture the growth and possibilities of midwifery and each other as midwives.

For yourself and midwifery come join us in Chiapas~
Share your wealth of knowledge and inspiration. We will receive your participation proposals until March 30th, 2010. In our Program page you will find all the information you need to send your proposal.

Come rest and renew yourself amongst sisters.
We look forward to haveing you join us at our International Midwifery and Humanized Birth Conference Saber Nacer, June 11-13, 2010, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, México.

Our wishes for New Year

WebMistress — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 12:31:39 +0000

We look forward to have you joining us at our International Midwifery and Humanized Birth Conference Saber Nacer, June 11-13, 2010, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, México.
