Buddha Mom

A booksigning with Jacqueline Kramer

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

7:00-8:30pm

Pregnancy and fertility are impacted by both physical and emotional circumstances. Sometimes we feel fear from cautionary tales told and things we’ve seen; sometimes pregnancy, birth and mothering seem like ideals we cannot possibly live up to. Buddha Mom offers an alternative to the commonly-held views of pregnancy and birthing being either pure bliss or sheer hell. These archetypical female experiences can actually be the beginning of a deep, fulfilling spiritual practice. Difficulties can become fuel for growth and deeper understanding… a heroic journey. Jacqueline Kramer will read from her spiritual memoir Buddha Mom-The Path of Mindful Mothering and open up a discussion of an alternative and positive way to enter the journey of mothering.

Follow Me Mum
This 20 minute video teaches mothers: How breastfeeding works; 
how to work with their baby’s instinctive behavior; & how to hold, position and attach their baby “It is my experience that the most simple and effective intervention for the majority of feeding problems is ensuring baby is tightly positioned as described in these education materials. In this position a mother can learn to work with and support her infants innate feeding abilities, to overcome almost any physical breastfeeding difficulty.”

Delivery Self Attachment
This amazing film demonstrates that leaving the newborn baby and mother together undisturbed after birth facilitates successful breastfeeding. The exciting six minutes of footage shows an unmedicated newborn making its way unassisted to mother’s breast after being placed on her lower abdomen! Everyone involved with pregnant and nursing mothers should watch this film! 6 minutes.

Wednesdays in September,  Natural Resources invites you to join us in the viewing of some of best films on birth and parenting. All films showing are free. We’ll be “passing the hat” asking for donations for our childbirth education class scholarship fund.
