The panel will discuss the journey of pregnancy, birth, and strengthening families. Safety and connection are essential parts of the quality of life. As a need required by all humans since the beginning of mankind, security affects nearly all aspects of human life and is therefore considered an "anthropological constant". Safety and connection are characterized as elementary human needs that require fulfillment.
Those needs play an important role in the mother and child's overall pregnancy and birth experience. Security is revealed in one's own resources and in feelings of comfort, calmness, joy, positive self-awareness, and confidence that everything will go well.
Nature has perfected a system, through millions of years, to facilitate childbirth. It's important to recognize how society has changed and western medicine has evolved. Does the current environment impede the process? The panelists will discuss how parenting includes our lived and embodied experience. It's necessary to create an environment that allows more presence and connection. The well-being of a community depends on strong and loving families.
