At last weekend’s quarterly meeting which also serves as continuing training for volunteer doulas, our facilitator told us that the most important thing for supporting others is to be in a grounded place ourselves. Then she asked us to put away our notebooks and focus on beng fully present for guided meditation, a listening exercise, and massage instruction.
So I don’t have a lot of notes from the gathering, but she and I did manage to snap a few pictures.
PS. Thanks to The Radical Doula for sharing the news that we’re now offering in-home support for medication abortion. We’d be grateful to anyone else who can help us get the word out.
