Co-Creating Peace on Earth
through Peace in Birth
The Birth Ecology Project Vision
Birth: the emergence of a new individual from the body of its parent
Ecology: the totality or pattern of relations between organisms and their environment
Birth Ecology: the interdependent relationships of birthing practices, ecological practices, and the evolution of humanity
The Birth Ecology Project advocates for gentle birth and parenting practices that are conscientious of the mother-baby relationship and ecological balance. We promote healing the state of birth on our planet through midwifery, doula care, natural birth, conscious parenting, sustainable living, and gentle healing arts. Birth Ecology integrates the science of evidence-based maternity care and the traditions of women's wisdom and intuition, emphasizing prevention, education, wellness, and nutrition.
The Birth Ecology Project Mission
- To actualize ecologically intelligent birthing and parenting practices.
- To integrate the wisdom and science of biodynamic birthing, traditional midwifery, pre- and perinatal psychology, healing arts, instinctive parenting, and sustainability.
- To envision a world in which all children are born gently, all mothers are empowered, and humanity lives harmoniously as co-creators with nature and spirit.
- Advocacy for midwifery care, doulas, biodynamic birth, breastfeeding, attachment parenting, babywearing, earth-friendly living, healing arts, and newborn consciousness.
