Only available as part of a package

Storykeeping for Doulas: Cultivating Radical Listening Presence is a class that uses chaplain, midwife, and doula skills to teach active listening, container building, and narrative stewardship techniques. It introduces participants to the transformative power of eliciting and caring for our clients’ personal narratives, and it teaches the deep listening and curious inquiry skills that make space for and support the sharing of fertility, pregnancy, birth, loss, and postpartum stories in client encounters.
