Hey look good news for once!!! AB 55 The Freedom to Birth Act passed!

"Free-standing birth centers have been found not only to improve health outcomes but also to save over $2,000 in Medicaid costs for every mother/baby when compared to typical care. These facilities are a needed piece of the healthcare puzzle as over 50 labor and delivery wards have closed in California hospitals in the past decade, and twelve counties, primarily rural, have been left with no hospitals to deliver babies."

Doula Penny Simkin discusses the positive impact that doulas have on birth outcomes. They provide a unique form of labor support that is different from that of other caregivers involved in the birth process--but complements the roles of others. Simkins describes why this is so.

This is a birth trauma or challenging birth support group offered through an amazing therapist. She used to be local, but has moved out of the area and is still offering her gift remotely.

From Krysta: I offer this support group once a year due to overwhelming demand!
If you know someone who would benefit please send them to register.

This is a 6 week support group for moms healing from a difficult birth.
Every year I'm in awe of the amazing healing and relationships I see take place!

Don't wait, always full.
More info:

You planned, prepared and hoped. What does it mean if the day your baby was born wasn't the best day of your life? This group will help you find yourself on the other side of a difficult or traumatic birth experience. Cost: $45 per 90 minute group

Cedar Springs Learning Center Blooming on Campus in 2024

Since our last post, the Cedar Springs Waldorf School (CSWS) Board and Cedar Springs Private Education Association (CSPEA) have collaborated and will be merging into a Waldorf-inspired Learning Center starting July 1. Learning Centers have been successfully implemented at Waldorf and other schools (https://friendsofwillowtree.org/) and will allow Cedar Springs to better expand into the homeschool and greater community of El Dorado County for the 2024-2025 school year.

The current program on campus provides Waldorf-inspired education to nearly 80 students Parent-Child through 6th Grade. We are grateful for the dedicated and talented Waldorf teachers and community leaders who have been growing and shepherding this program since 2021.

Cedar Springs’ vision, mission and values continue to guide this work and we are looking forward to bringing Waldorf-inspired education to more families in the coming year.

Please spread the word about our new Cedar Springs Learning Center (CSLC) to those you know who may be interested in joining our community.

For questions/inquiries, please contact:

Board: jimcurtis64@gmail.com or james.maskell@gmail.com
