Symbiotic Skill Shares
These curated sessions are thoughtfully designed for all members of the birth community. Each session couples two related topics, offering participants a rich and holistic learning experience. You'll benefit from expert facilitators for each segment, ensuring comprehensive understanding and engaging discussions.
​
After the presentations, participate in an intentional networking themed around the topics, fostering meaningful conversations. Enjoy treats and snacks while with fellow birth professionals.
​
Skill Shares are a mindful and much needed way to build community and your professional network!​​
Each monthly Symbiotic Skill Share will include:
-
Two in-person presentations held in rotating locations around Massachusetts
-
Intentional networking session to follow, with a theme related to the presentations for discussion
-
Breakfast treats and snacks (lunch on your own)
-
Opportunities to interact with other birth professionals to build community and connection
