“Orgasmic Birth” Screening

Come join us for a screening of the “hot” new birth movie, “Orgasmic
Birth” on Friday, April 17th at 7 pm. We’ll watch the movie at my
office at Lancaster Chiropractic, 4736 Eagleridge Circle. The movie is
free. Please bring a snack or beverage to share. Please RSVP by
calling Gina at 719-369-4368 or emailing to
safepassagebirth@gmail.com.

About the movie:

Joyous, sensuous and revolutionary, Orgasmic Birth brings the ultimate
challenge to our cultural myths by inviting viewers to see the
emotional, spiritual, and physical heights attainable through birth.
Witness the passion as birth is revealed as an integral part of
woman’s sexuality and a neglected human right. With commentary by
Christiane Northrup, MD, and midwives Ina May Gaskin, Elizabeth Davis
and other experts in the field . . . and stunning moments of women in
the ecstatic release of childbirth.

Orgasmic Birth has had an international impact on the film festival
circuit and was screened this year at the prestigious Rio de Janeiro
International Film Festival; The Baltimore Women’s Film Festival; Usti
Film Festival in the Czech Republic; Festival Caminhos in Portugal;
and ‘Official Selection’ The European Independent Film Festival (ÉCU)
2009 in Paris. Orgasmic Birth also won the Audience Choice Award at
the 2008 Motherbaby International Film Festival in Bermuda.

Five years in the making, Filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro reveals a
revolutionary approach to birth that is statistically safer for both
mother and child than the birthing and delivery methods that are
standard in many parts of the world today. The viewer becomes an
intimate part of the birth stories of 11 women during this 85 minute
documentary.

The evocative score for the film was created by John McDowell,
composer of the score for the Oscar-winning documentary Born Into
Brothels, with additional composition by Sabina Sciubba of the group
Brazilian Girls.

series–one in Pueblo and one in Monument for your convenience! If you

Classes are ideal for first-time parents, parents planning a birth
experience that is different from what they’ve previously had (i.e.,
are planning an unmedicated or homebirth after a previously medicated
birth, etc.), or parents who didn’t feel they received a thorough
coverage of childbirth topics from previous classes.

These are eight-week, ALACE-inspired (www.alace.org) course covering
the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy, birth, and
breastfeeding.

The classes cover :
Class One-Birth Today
Class Two-Pregnancy and Prenatal Care
Class Three-The Physiology of Birth
Class Four-Designing Your Birth
Class Five-Complications and Unexpected Outcomes
Class Six-The Postpartum Period and Your New Baby
Class Seven-Breastfeeding

Private classes can be arranged, but I encourage parents to take
advantage of the community-building that can happen in childbirth
classes.
