Between the mid-atlantic and the mid-pacific conferences!
The Mid-Atlantic Conference on Birth and Primal Health Research - which attracted 1250 participants from 39 countries - has been a successful rehearsal before the Mid-Pacific Conference.
The Mid-Pacific Conference will occur on October 26-28, 2012, in Honolulu. The venue will be the prestigious Hawaii Convention Center, as the meeting point between Western and Eastern cultures.
Once more, the main objective of the conference will be to phrase new questions after presenting an overview of technical and scientific advances that will influence the history of childbirth. As in Las Palmas, the participation of Pr. Michael Stark, the "father" of the new simplified technique of cesarean, will symbolize technical advances, while the participation of Pr Kerstin Uvnas-Moberg, as an expert in behavioural effects of oxytocin, will symbolize scientific advances. The need to think globally will be emphasized by the participation of Dr Mario Merialdi, coordinator for maternal and perinatal health at WHO.
The Mid-Pacific conference will be characterized by the emergence of new important themes, such as the transgenerational effects of early experiences (during the "primal period"), the expected importance of economical factors in the evolution of medicine in general and obstetrics in particular, and also by the great diversity of renewed practical topics presented during the thirty concurrent sessions and through posters.
During these three days, inspired by our logo and surrounded by the foams of the oceanic waves, we'll be in an ideal place to dream of and to work for the Rebirth of the Goddess of Love.
Aloha means Love!
