join our doula circle
We host doula circles every first and third Tuesday of every month at 6pm-8pm Pacific Time. They are open to any and all Black, Indigenous and other people of color (BIPOC) full-spectrum doulas. Each circle is an opportunity to share stories, ask questions, and share space with other support people.
During COVID-19 we are hosting the doula circles remotely using Zoom. If you'd like to join, sign up using this link to be sent the Zoom link for our next meeting. We're looking forward to seeing you there!
Children and children-related noise are always welcome at RLBC events!
