This year’s Healthy Birth Conference will take place October 10th-11th in the heart of the Black Hills at Crazy Horse Memorial Conference Center near Custer. Hiking, Biking, Rock Climbing, National Monuments, National Parks, Caves and history museums all at the doorstep of Custer and Crazy Horse Memorial will give your family plenty to do during the conference weekend. The word on the street is that the 1880 Train may still be offering fall foliage rides in October! Off-season rates for hotels and cabins or campgrounds with RV parking and tent spaces (for the hearty) make the Black Hills affordable during this beautiful time of year.

In keeping with the tradition of past Healthy Birth Conferences, we will continue with ‘natural family living’ workshops and are adding topics to appeal to a wider audience and to expand the educational component identified in our mission statement. Among the new topics are:
Birth Plans – a dialogue between consumers and medical rofessionals,
Grandmother’s Stories of Childbirth,
Writing a Will: Families With Underage Children and
Cranial Sacral Therapy for the birth year and beyond.

Watch for announcements about keynote speakers in the coming months.

Native American Day on the 13th is a big deal at Crazy Horse Memorial with storytellers, dancers and many other family activities, so consider staying an extra day for this educational celebration.
