16. KEYNOTE Flourishing means..staying connected in the heartbreak and hope @ Zoom

Speaker: Kate Greenstock

Facilitator: Ally Anderson

Merely existing as a midwife in much of the world is a political act, flourishing collectively is our outrageous next step!

At its core, flourishing means staying connected to ourselves –  and to each other –  even as we face the psychological challenges of this work. Experiences of trauma exposure and moral injury connect us as global midwives despite our differing contexts. And yet they so often disconnect us from ourselves and the families we serve.

Our time together will acknowledge the realities AND explore how we go on sustaining ourselves in midwifery by proactively connecting to our purpose, our power, our body, our breath. Just as we ground and encourage a woman in labour, come be grounded and encouraged!
