Join us for an intimate conversation about the importance of community, faith and companionship at the key gateways of both birth and death – and above all, an honouring of those who work to support families through these transitions.
Katia Ariel has written about birth and death in The Swift Dark Tide and recent release Ferryman: The Life and Deathwork of Ephraim Finch. Oceane Campbell has written a memoir of birth stories, Labour of Love, and speaks powerfully about the service of midwifery in our society, and the importance of listening to women and families at this time.
Together, they will speak about how respecting individual identities, values and spiritual traditions brings care and dignity during these watershed life events. Moderated by journalist, Sally Pryor.
