EVENT: Fertility Awareness Workshop- what your Doctor never told you about birth control

A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to take an intro class on the Fertility Awareness Method with the wonderful teacher, Katinka Locascio, and now I am thrilled to be hosting her for a second time and to share this knowledge with all of you.

Please join us for this very special event:
Fertility Awareness Workshop and Discussion with Katinka Locascio
March 26th in Ft. Greene Brooklyn.

This class is encouraged for any one, whether you are looking to welcome a child into your life, 'waking up from the pill," looking for a more natural form of birth control, and/or wanting to better understand your gynecological health.

This evening will be a fun flash back to high school biology class and a conversation about an increasingly talked about (check out this documentary that's in the works... Miscon(tra)ception) and very safe form of birth control that perhaps your Doctor or your Mother never told you about!
For thousands of years the moon has been a symbol of fertility and the menstrual cycle.

About Fertility Awareness Method:
Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is a practice of empowering women to naturally (and effectively) achieve pregnancy, avoid pregnancy and better understand their bodies. This method teaches women how her body works and provides a system by which she can observe and chart her body’s signals in order to know when she is ovulating. Not to be mistaken with the ineffective rhythm method, FAM is based on science and a stronger understanding of one's own body. This class will not teach the method itself, but will provide a thorough introduction to those both ready to begin integrating FAM into their lives, to those who wish to understand their bodies better AND to those that are simply curious! We will provide information and resources, as well as an opportunity to ask questions and discuss.  Check out this great article: Your Grandmother's Birth Control Might Actually Work by Nona Willis Aronowitz. As well as this phone app which both educates as well as helps women to manage their charting efforts: Kindara.
