Subject: [ozmidwifery] National Caesarean Awareness Day 2004
Hello,
�
just a quick reminder of the National Caesarean Awareness Day celebration that will be held this Saturday at Waterfall Gully from 3.30pm -
�
Restoring the Birthing Woman Within:
a day of emotional healing.
�
A day of emotional healing is a time to share and express our emotions in a positive and meaningful way.
�
The day will incorporate story telling, those who feel comfortable can share their own personal story, a poem, a prayer or picture.� If you are unable to attend but still wish to share your thoughts, you may like to contribute to the booklet to be produced after the day "Expressions of Emotional Healing".� We welcome all contributions and you can submit yours on the web site : www.cares-sa.org.au
�
Each woman is also invited to bring the petals of her favourite flower(s) to scatter over the flowing water during the ceremony; symbolically cleansing and giving away.� Candles will be lit around the nation to link each states events.� Candles will be on sale on the day for a small cost.
�
Please keep in mind:
�
- the weather forecast is for rain, so please bring an umbrella or two if you have spare and dress warm!
�
- partners are welcome however the location is NOT suitable for young children (small babies excluded) as there is no pram access, the area for the ceremony is quite small�and the waterfall is easily accessible for children.� CARES SA advise that it is not safe for young children.� It is also a time for adults to share emotions that some young children may not understand and could cause distress.� CARES SA has always welcomed and catered for children, however we must regretfully stress that this event may not be suitable.�
�
Please feel welcome to invite others whom you may think may benefit for this very special event.� We look forward to seeing you on the day!� And remember if you can not make it, you can still contribute to the booklet "Expressions of Emotional Healing".
�
yours in birth
�
Jo, Carolyn and the exceptional women of the CARES SA�core group.
