Conscious Parent Movie Matinee Series

My friends at  Lumina Birth and Lotus of Life Chiropractic are hosting the "Conscious Parent Movie Matinee" series, beginning next week.  They will feature films over the next 9 months, covering a variety of topics on pregnancy, birth and parenting.  The films will be followed by a panel discussion with local childbirth and health care experts.  In addition, sponsors will be available with information on their services and/or products. 

This is an amazing opportunity for parents and parents-to-be in the Atlanta area to learn about how to have healthy, happy families from pregnancy and on through the childhood years.  The women from Lumina Birth and Lotus of Life Chiropractic have made very conscious choices when raising their own children, including their approach to pregnancy, healthcare, nutrition and green/organic living.  They have much experience - and expertise - to share.

Upcoming films include:

September 12, 2010 – "The Shift" — starring Dr. Wayne Dyer, explores the spiritual journey to find the purpose that is our unique contribution to the world.

October 10, 2010 – "Birth into Being" – Russian Spiritual Midwife Tatyana Sargunas and her filmmaker husband, Alexi, take you on a breathtaking expedition to witness two families birthing in the Black Sea, and into their home to see two of their daughters being born in a handmade clear birthing pool.

November 14, 2010 – "Orgasmic Birth" –this documentary 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.

December 12, 2010 – "What Babies Want"–an award winning documentary film that explores the profoundly important and sacred opportunity we have in bringing children into the world. Filled with captivating stories and infused with Noah Wyle's warmth as narrator, the film demonstrates how life patterns are established at birth and  before.
