December 4th 2006!



Some of the topics:

Metabolic Disorders Update: Detecting and Treatment Options



Premature Ligation of the Umbilical Cord with Pat Edmonds!
See her incredible new Placental slide show!

Revolutions in Childbirth Education


And lunch of course!


And MUCH MORE!



We're meeting at McMennamin's Kennedy School in Northeast Portland-- a combination hotel, brewpub, restaurant, theater, community building, and retreat center. This allows a "stay later" option if you wish to have dinner with some new (or old) friends, or see a movie, or soak in the swimming-pool sized hot tub. Get to know each other better, or get to know someone new!




We invite you to take time for yourself before the dark days of winter to enjoy a learning experience, earn CEUs, and update your skills while relaxing in comfortable surroundings and enjoying a nice lunch together! We welcome midwives, students, apprentices, Naturopaths, Nurses, doulas, childbirth educators, and all those involved in childbirth.



Space is absolutely LIMITED! Register now to reserve your place! Don't miss your chance to join in this Special Midwife Event!



Come join us! RELAX AND RENEW before the cold and dark days of WINTER arrive! Spend the day with others who share your love of birth!


Consider extending the day into a mini-vacation by spending the night at Kenedy. The rooms are inexpensive when split with a roommate (up to four can share a room for about $25 each; see http://www.mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=57&category=Location%20Homepage ) Remember to bring your Swim Suit!


Register soon because space is LIMITED!


We will keep updating our webpage with more information and details about our topics and speakers!
