kapitbahay: Mentorship for emerging radical birthworkers
Kapitbahay is Tagalog for “neighbour”. It's a play on Ating Bahay, which translates to “our house”. While Ating Bahay, the workshop, focuses on building our radical practice as if we were building the foundations to our home; Kapitbahay, the mentorship, focuses on becoming a loving and supportive neighbour in our community while our foundations are being built!
Kapitbahay is a four month exploration of practical and heart-centered ways of engaging with your radical practice!
You do not need experience in birthwork to be a part of this mentorship.
may 2 - august 8
Mondays 5 - 7PM EST
zoom
Kapitbahay is a hybrid of weekly community mentorship calls (2hrs) as well as 1:1 personal calls (1hr) two times per month.
Communal learning is key in community building while also incorporating space for 1:1 chats to hone your personal goals and practice. Calls are recorded and live captioned.
