Over the past decades, unnecessary and bond-severing interventions have risen to damaging levels worldwide. Cesarean rates have climbed to 30–95% globally (in Canada, nearly every 3rd baby is born via cesarean), with mothers being medically managed rather than trusted to birth physiologically. Even placenta obtainment has become a billion-dollar industry — benefiting pharmaceutical companies while denying babies the most essential boost nature provides at birth.

This isn’t just statistics. It’s a story of lost trust — and the trauma carried by families across generations.

The Reclaiming Birth movement is parent-led, supported by elders, birth workers, and medical professionals who see the damage — and are choosing another way. Together, we are growing a global community that advocates for birth rooted in wisdom, instinct, and trust. This conference is where we gather to:

- Share stories, knowledge, and lived experiences

- Rebuild networks of support for families and birth workers

- Transform fear into strength, and trauma into empowerment

- Return birth to the safekeeping of women, families, and God’s design
