The Business of Being Born Viewing Invite

UrbanMamas, Activistas, Mother Tree and the Zenana Spa and Wellness Center are sponsoring a screening of The Business of Being Born.

The Business of Being Born created and produced by Ricki Lake is an honest look at the affects that business and corporate structures have on women and their families, their choices and the community.

And of course there'll be an opportunity afterward to discuss the film and, hopefully, brainstorm ideas for next steps, if that makes sense. We'll definitely be discussing the film - and anything related - with some expert input. We've all got birth opinions, I just know it. Bring 'em with you.

Planning to come? Excellent! We'll be at Zenana Spa on Saturday, 1.26.08 @ 3 PM and again on Sunday 2.10.08 @ 12:30 PM (it's 85 minutes long). The cost is $5/person; all proceeds will be donated to the Nursing Mothers Counsel of Oregon (a big thanks to urbanMamas for paying for the film and Zenana for donating the space!). And if you wish to donate more, no one will stop you!
