I have just returned from the Birth India AGM (Annual General Meeting for the unituated) in Mumbai. It was a bit of a hodge podge under the title 'training opportunities in India' of people pushing US based and biased (La Leche League, CAPA and LaMaze) organizations with what seemed like canned slide shows...booring at least for me. And I'm astounded that you can be a trainer of teachers (childbirth educators and doulas) WITHOUT YOURSELF EVER HAVING ATTENDED A BIRTH!
It was great fun, tho, hanging out with midwives, who are much more 'hands-on' and drinking beer by the seaside.
I really wonder about the reality principle getting lost in these trainings...and wonder what the outcome is--which no one spoke about. The upshot of all this is I'm thinking about going back into the childbirth preparation business. My friend Steena came over to day and offered to be my business planner--she's already got me my first client!
