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
