Doula’s and Midwives

A midwife sees with her hands, she knows and feels through her fingers, through her skin.

In this workshop we will demonstrate and put into practice traditional ways of touching, palpating and locating the baby inside the womb, as well as the placenta and the inner world it inhabits.
We will learn how to know its location and position in the traditional way, and how to use techniques to help the mother and the baby with our hands.

Friday October 18th
10:00 – 17:00hrs
Duration: 6 hours
Cost: 110 Euros
This includes a vegan lunch, coffee, tea and some fruit.

Ramiro Romero Retreat

We are very happy to welcome Ramiro Romero, traditional indigenous midwife from Colombia.
This October he will visit the Netherlands to offer five workshops.

For over 20 years, his Mujeres Bachué foundation has been leading the practices of Traditional Indigenous Midwifery in Colombia, as an alternative way of care and support of women’s sexual and reproductive decision-making process; focusing on pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care. At this pivotal moment, it is of great importance to share this knowledge in order to protect and preserve it.

We met Ramiro Romero at the Healthy Birth, Healthy Earth conference in Findhorn, Schotland, in 2016. His workshops and teachings were such a source of knowledge combined with a distinctively different and healing perspective on all things surrounding women’s work in birth, death and beyond.

This fall Ramiro Romero is touring Europe to teach, and will come to Amsterdam to give 5 workshops.

The workshops are in English (Ramiro speaks in Spanish, with a translator present) – translation to Dutch possible, if needed.

These workshops are organised in partnership with the Birth Sisters and Geboortenis.

You can join us for single day workshops or buy a combination ticket.
