Community and Courses
Community is very important to us, and is one answer to the isolation that some people experience when becoming parents - be it in the nuclear family, as single parents or in diverse constellations. Facilitating a network of mutual exchange and support among families and providers is central to our mission.
To encourage this, we offer our queer birth preparation classes and a variety of workshops, as well as interdiciplinary round tables and trainings. In the future, a major goal for us is finding a way to offer "Community Prenatals" and group appointments.
It is important to us that these are safer spaces. This means that state, hierarchical, and economic violence of any kind is not welcome.

DIY Insemination Workshop
DIY Insemination is a way for people
to get pregnant. In this seminar we want to share information
about different methods of DIY Insemination with you, as well
as our experiences and insights. This course is for FLINTA*
people (Women, Lesbians, Inter, Nonbinary and Trans*people.
We'll present the
different variations of insemination, tools and techniques, as
well as talk about the relevant anatomy, cycle observation and
share a few tips about creating good conditions for
conception. We also
want to create a space for you to ask questions, and have an
open exchange about DIY insemination in the group.
At the end
of the evening, we may be joined by a person who has become
pregnant via DIY Insemination themselves, and would like to
share their experience.
