Topics List
Amy Gilliland Ph.D is an accomplished speaker and strives to make the research she creates almost immediately usable to those she presents to. We have her with us to discuss unpacking communication, trauma, doula roles, and intimacy. A more detailed topics list will be added soon!
Using Science to unpack the Woo This is not simply a presentation. It's a level up. It's a retreat. Questions will be asked, and while wading through the answers, each person will be able to uniquely glean information that can be applied to their unique locations and passions. We will take advantage our group size and dive deep into how our connections with each other and our clients leave a lasting impression, and have the possibility to make real change.
Special Lunch Podcast Recording We will be taking advantage of the incredible minds gathered at lunch and tape an episode of A. Swift Moment facilitated by our hosts, Kate, Catie, and Ariel, and allowing any interested attendees to take part. If this isn't your jam, no problem. There will be separate space for any not comfortable being recorded during this portion of the day.

What happens with the registration fees?
|
We believe wholly in compensating professionals for their time and knowledge. Part of your fee will go to bringing the speaker to be with us. We are also passionate about helping local communities, and any funds in excess to the needs of this event will be donated to a non-profit whose cause we believe in. This retreat will benefit the non-profit Change Columbus, as they work toward helping fill the diaper gap in Columbus, OH.
