BOLD Duluth

BOLD, the global movement to create childbirth choices that work for mothers, brings together artists, community groups and childbirth leaders for BOLD Performance events brought the issue of childbirth choices for mothers center stage in Duluth.

Birth is a critically-acclaimed documentary-style play that tells the birth stories of eight women, painting an alarming picture of 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. Proceeds from performances of Birth in Duluth went to Birthing Ways-Doula Connection.

As part of BOLD Duluth 2008 we held a Red Tent Event. The Red Tent Event is a gathering of women, sharing the stories of birth, telling the stories that made us who we are, that brought forth our children, that changed our bodies, our minds, our lives. It is an opportunity to give, to listen, to heal, to laugh, to grieve, to celebrate, to pass on what wisdom there is to be shared.
