Birthing Ways - Doula Connection and the Northland Birth Network are staging the play Birth, written by BOLD founder Karen Brody.

Birth is a critically-acclaimed documentary-style play about the birth stories of (women, illustrating how low-risk, educated mothers are giving birth today. Hailed "The Vagina Monologues for birth" by women's health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup, over 100 performances of the play Birth are happening in cities across America during September, the month of Labor Day, to raise awareness and money for childbirth choices that work for mothers. "Through BOLD we have seen how art can influence change. The time is now to be bold and make childbirth choices work for mothers, to create a movement that supports birth choices and helps women access the powerful experience available to them when giving birth," stated BOLD founder Karen Brody.

Following the play, there will be a Talkback featuring a question and answer session with a few of Duluth's esteemed childbirth professionals and mothers.

Red Tent Event, Saturday, September

A red test...mother's voices...intimacy...truth. BOLD's Red Tent event concept is simple: gather women under a "red tent" to listen to birth stories and then record their stories as part of the BOLD Library of Birth Truths. Our BOLD Red Tent will take place on Saturday, September 27th at the Harbor City International High School, 2nd floor.  Session will begin at 11 am and 3 pm.
