The burden is heavy—let’s rest and renew together.

Birth workers spend their lives co-regulating with others, holding space through the intensity of the threshold. But who holds the space for you?

Downregulate & Deepen is an intentional somatic gathering designed specifically for the nervous systems of birth workers. This isn't just another networking event; it’s a nervous system reset and an opportunity for deep connection and support.

What to Expect:

• Somatic Release: Move past the "talk" and into the body to release stored secondary trauma and burnout.

• Deep Downregulation: Trauma-informed guided practices assist the shift from "high alert" to restorative peace.

• Community Connection: Intentional connections deepen the essential work you do and build your support community.

Move from depletion to depth.

Gathering co-sponsored by Birth Roots Community Midwifery and The Story of Us
