Born Two Birth Film Event

Join us for an educational documentary of natural childbirth. This presentation provides a view of a complete experience from prenatal preparation through 'live' birth with the mother and father's personal birth stories onto post-partum success.

Born Two Birth utilizes an artistic multimedia collage of a first baby home birth with a midwife, who in this case, delivered her own grandchild! In this unique and candid experience, the viewer is taken on an intimate journey through a process that is raw, natural, and normal.

A discussion and question/answer session to follow with starring mom & dad Kaja Gibbs-Davidson and Matthew Davidson along with midwives Kathe Gibbs (grandmother), Lori Kimata ND, and doula Jaymie Lewis will be present.

This is a great opportunity for couples as well as professionals who are interested in learning more about natural and home childbirth.

We hope you will join us for a great evening. No rsvp necessary.

For more information, please contact borntwobirth@gmail.com or the store at 988-0010.

Organic Birth - Film screening on Oct 16th

Hapai Hawai`i presents a film screening of Organic Birth (52 mins)
Saturday, October 16th at 6:45 p.m.
Cost: Free



ORGANIC BIRTH is a tighter, 52-minute updated version of the original 85-minute ORGASMIC BIRTH film. It has new expanded Midwife content and focuses more on the benefits of Midwife-Assisted and Natural Birth options than the original film. This shorter length will work better when used in Childbirth Education and it has easier chapter navigation for quickly accessing specific topics or scenes.

Immediately following we'll have a talk story with Piper and Chaz Lovemore who star in the film as well as other birth professionals.

*Bring your own refreshments, nursing babies in arms welcome

PLAY AGAIN - a film screening

Don Brown, local film guru and promoter, is bringing this compelling and beautiful documentary along with the producer herself (Meg Merrill) on Monday, August 16th at 6:30 p.m. at the Bambu Venue on 1144 Bethel Street in Chinatown.

Film synopsis:
     One generation from now most people in the U.S. will have spent more time in the virtual world than in nature. New media technologies have improved our lives in countless ways. But what are we missing when we are behind screens? And how will this impact our children?
     At a time when children play more behind screens than outside, PLAY AGAIN explores the changing balance between the virtual and natural worlds.
     Through the voices of children and leading experts including sociologist Juliet Schor, neuroscientist Gary Small, and geneticist David Suzuki, this film investigates the consequences of a childhood removed from nature and encourages action for a sustainable future.

BAMBU VENUE ~ 1144 Bethel Street
$10 at the door
