Blue Cactus Press and the Center for Indigenous Midwifery are offering an upcoming workshop called *Laying Down Stories*, a space for BIPOC birthing folks and families to reflect on and process their birth experiences in community. Many of us carry birth stories that live in our bodies long after the experience — stories about what we wish we had known, how our bodies changed, or how we were (or weren’t) supported. This workshop offers guided reflection, writing, and discussion to help participants identify and release storylines that no longer serve them, and to be witnessed in a supportive, culturally-centered space. *In-person workshop:* April 7, 10–11:30am in Tacoma, WA. *Registration is requested and FREE:**https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1985491714165/details <https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/1985491714165/details>* Please feel free to share with community members who might benefit from this space.
