Community. Inspiration. Education. Just a few words describing one of our favorite events of the year! Earlier this month we hosted our global, community-centered event known to many as our Fourth Annual Birth Symposium! We had attendees from multiple continents and countries attend. We also had attendees from differing areas of birth work as well. This event was birthed during the рапdemіс after we could not meet in person. After two years under the name Retreat, the event was renamed and revamped to the Birth Symposium. New name, but the same inspirational, educational virtual gathering with the ultimate goal of creating new relationships and strengthening existing ones. We know we can’t do this work аɩoпe and everyone brings something so ᴜпіqᴜe to the table in the birth world. We choose to gather annually, and take the opportunity to learn from one another. Three days of speakers and ѕoсіаɩ calls, all of which the birth community is always invited to join.
One BONUS we offer (as well as an attendee favorite!) is the Group Photo Review. This review session provides birth photographers in attendance to receive meaningful feedback on the image they chose to submit. Attendees hear from experts leading the session as well as the perspectives of attendees in a communal effort to advance their artistic abilities. Below you will see some of the moving birth images our attendees shared during the Symposium. Should you want to work with any of these birth photographers for your own birth, their contact information is also provided below. We look forward to sharing more of their аmаzіпɡ work with you in the future!
