SUMMARY:The Holding Circle: A Community-Centered Retreat for Pregnancy & Infant Loss
DESCRIPTION:The Holding Circle: A Community-Centered Retreat for Pregnancy & Infant Loss\nPresented by Mama Glow\nIn recognition of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month\, Mama Glow invites you to The Holding Circle\, an intimate\, community-centered retreat for individuals and families navigating miscarriage\, stillbirth\, infant loss\, and other forms of reproductive loss. \nPregnancy and infant loss can be profoundly isolating. Grief may continue long after the clinical encounter has ended\, often without the space\, language\, or community needed to hold everything that follows. At Mama Glow\, we believe reproductive health includes every outcome along the reproductive journey. Loss deserves care\, remembrance\, and community\, too. The Holding Circle creates a space to gather without expectation or explanation. \nThroughout the afternoon\, participants will move through guided meditation and grounding\, facilitated group counseling\, reflective journaling and paired sharing\, and a collective remembrance practice honoring pregnancies and lives lost. The retreat will close around a nourishing shared meal\, creating time to settle\, connect\, and close the afternoon with care. \n📆 Saturday\, October 10 | 12:00-4:00 PM  \n📍 The Soft Space\, Williamsburg\, Brooklyn \n🙏🏽 Free Community Offering | Application Required \nWhat We’ll Experience: \n\nOpening and closing meditation and grounding\nFacilitated group counseling and emotional support\nReflective journaling and paired sharing\nA collective remembrance practice\nSpace for quiet reflection and community connection\nA nourishing shared meal\nTake-home resources for continued care and support\n\nRetreat Facilitators:  \nMarjorie Vail\, MA\, MEd\, MS\, MHC-LP – Director of Outreach\, PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy | Group Counseling Facilitator \nDora Kamau – Lead Mindfulness Teacher\, Headspace | Opening & Closing Meditation \nErica Freeman – Founder & CEO\, Sisters in Loss | Remembrance Practice \nMandela Cocores – Founder\, Welcome Home | Meal & Hospitality \n  \nParticipation in The Holding Circle is free for participants\, but space is limited to preserve the intimacy of the retreat.

SUMMARY:MAMA GLOW DOULA IMMERSION PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM: LEVEL 1 – BROOKLYN
DESCRIPTION:MAMA GLOW DOULA IMMERSION – LEVEL 1 – SUMMER WEEKEND INTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM\nPREGNANCY – BIRTH – EARLY POSTPARTUM\nWITH LATHAM THOMAS\nIn June of 2018 Mama Glow launched the Mama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program and offered this in-person intensive weekend course in Brooklyn\, New York\, Los Angeles\, Miami\, and Paris. Since 2020\, Mama Glow has been offering the Mama Glow Doula Homeschool Professional Training Program online to serve our global community of birth workers. \n  \nWe are pleased to announce that we will host our first in-person intensive doula training program since 2020! Join us August 1-3\, 2025 in Brooklyn\, NY. \n  \nMama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program includes LIVE in-person training with Latham Thomas and modules with guest teachers\, assignments to complete at home after the end of the program. The Mama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program covers pregnancy through the early postpartum period. \nThis program is open to all regardless of previous experience. \n  \nOur work at Mama Glow is to improve the experience of birth for people everywhere. We are changing the face of maternal health by empowering birthing people at the threshold of change in their lives. We see birth as a unique opportunity to support and empower all people as well as educate society about the innate strength of the body and the sacred process of pregnancy and birth. We offer full spectrum doula support. Our doulas support clients during fertility\, birth clients and new parents\, holding their hands as they transition into this new phase of their lives. We seek to dismantle the stigmas and fears around the birth process for birthing folks. We also work to democratize birth support and have birth doulas available for every person or family that desires one. \n  \nAs birth activism is central to the pulse of our mission and training\, we weave the thread of advocacy with our distinguished\, world-renown and award-winning program. The course includes preparation and education for birth doula support. This is a CERTIFICATE PROGRAM designed to advance birth workers professionally. \nReceive a supreme education with Mama Glow\nThe Mama Glow Professional Doula Training Program has been offered as a course in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Brown University where Mama Glow founder Latham Thomas was appointed Visiting Professor of the Practice of Gender and Sexuality Studies in the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Learning on Women. \nWhat makes Mama Glow unique?\nAside from our world class and one-of-a-kind program content and teaching methodology\, the Mama Glow Doula Professional Training Program includes ongoing Professional and Work-force Development\, which means we hold your hand as you take your certification journey and provide job placement support as you advance your career.

You will continue your learning with guided support outside of class. We offer monthly certification support to ensure you complete the course requirements for doula certification.

Beyond the homeschool weekly program\, doulas-in-training will need to complete mandatory coursework\, reading\, essays\, attend mandatory LEVEL 1 Modules (virtually) that support continuing education for doulas on the path to LEVEL 1 certification. All this work will begin after your in-class training period. After completion of LEVEL 1 you will be eligible to take the LEVEL 2 program which focuses on Complicated Birth and Postpartum Doula Support. \n  \nLEVEL 1 will prepare newly minted doulas to begin working in all settings\, including in traditionally underserved and under-estimated communities.
