Working Mom's Circle
Facilitated by Bridget Owen, MH
1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month beginning October 6th, 2011
7:00-8:30pm
at
The Red Tent in Los Gatos
The working mom's circle is a networking group of sorts reaching out to all the working mamas who wish to share stories, tricks, tips, secrets, and anything else about life. We will discuss a new topic each visit which may include maintaing balance in the household, relationships - including yourself, your partner/spouse, your family & friends - exercise, weight loss and increasing metabolism, time management, meal preparation - with recipe sharing and the-evening-of quick meal fixes...and, of course, having fun!
Being a Mom is hard work, and when you have a regular job (either in or out of the home) that pulls your attention away from your family; life can become even more complicated and challenging. There will be time at each circle to ask questions if you come with anything specific in mind, but each evening will have a topic to help you explore and expand, gain balance and freedom.
These 2 nights a month are a time you can take for yourself to connect with other women who are working just as hard as you. The flow of the group is very fluid. It will change and evolve as the needs of the participants warrant it to.
You are welcome to bring your baby if you wish, however we have scheduled it late enough that it might be a nice time just for yourself to grab a cup of tea or coffee and come chat with this fabulous group of women.
Join us at the Red Tent in Los Gatos -- 15495 Los Gatos Blvd, Suite C - LG 95032
Meets every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month from 7-8:30pm
Drop in group - $10-$20 sliding scale contribution

VBAC Support Circle
~ Have you had a Cesarean (or 2 or 3+)?
~ Are you curious about your choices for your next birth?
~ Are you planning a VBAC and looking for support?
~ Have you had a VBAC and looking to shout it from the roof tops?!
~
Are you a birth worker with VBAC experience?
A Vaginal Birth After a Cesarean, or a VBAC, is a safe and empowering option for most Women who have undergone a previous Cesarean Birth. The culture surrounding VBAC's though can be a bit difficult to navigate, a bit confusing, and above all, overwhelming! Be it family, friends or professionals, everyone seems to have an opinion, and all too often one opinion conflicts with another.
The VBAC Support Group is a safe place for Moms (and professionals in the Birth World) to gather with the purpose of giving and receiving information and support around the many joys and challenges of VBACs! Ask questions, share resources, heal and inspire through experience, all while connecting with other Moms who are walking down a similar path.
Each group will include a topic discussion as well as an open forum. Discussions include topics such as; asking for support, birth preparation, HBAC and WBAC, birth art, doulas, managing the naysayers and much more. I encourage you to bring something to write in…it is nice to have somewhere to record thoughts, feelings, questions, and inspirations while on your journey through pregnancy, birth and parenting. I will also have journals available for purchase.
