“Weaving Together the Art, Science and Spirit of Midwifery” It is a joy to have a conference in our hometown, and so we welcome you to Eugene, Oregon. Interestingly enough, Eugene means “good birth,” and that is what we will be studying. Registrants will have the option of attending a full-day Spinning Babies workshop taught by Gail Tully, the expert on fetal positioning. Another topic of interest at the conference this year is breech birth. Again, registrants can sign up for a full day of classes on this subject.
