ICAN Conference Thoughts (2011-04-13 22:59)
[1] This past weekend, I attended the [2]ICAN conference
in St. Louis. I was really excited that the conference was in my own back yard (well, two hours from my
back yard). I enjoyed seeing lots of people that I know from [3]Friends of Missouri Midwives as well as other
friends and contacts from other organizations. And, I got to meet some people in real life (like Jill from
[4]the Unnecesarean), who I previously only ”knew” online. I also bought myself a pretty awesome new ring
from the [5]MANA booth (and a t-shirt and a bumper sticker!).
In addition to these things, highlights of the conference for me were:
• Hearing Pam England speak and getting to meet her after so many years of being a fan of [6]Birthing
from Within. I will write another post soon about her ”9 Birth Story Gates” presentation. It was very
good.
• Taking Amy Swagman’s birth art workshop (Amy is the [7]Mandala Journey artist and was someone
else that I enjoyed meeting in person after only ”knowing” online). I will write about this soon as well.
• Seeing the amazing breech birth videos shared by Gail Tully of [8]Spinning Babies in her presentation
about breech birth.
• Connecting with another mother during the sand tray art therapy workshop presented by [9]Maria
Carella. Though our birth experiences were different, our ”processing” of them during the workshop
was amazingly similar. More about this later too.
