A wonderful opportunity !

Blackfoot Confederacy Invites Families to Participate in Placenta Ceremony

Blackfoot Confederacy Tribal Council Health Department is seeking participants for an upcoming Blackfoot Placenta Ceremony, a cultural gathering designed to honour babies, families, and the sacred Blackfoot teachings surrounding birth and the beginning of life.

Scheduled for June 22, 2026, the ceremony will bring together Blackfoot families from across the Confederacy to reconnect with traditional teachings, ceremony, and Elder guidance. The gathering recognizes the cultural significance of birth and provides an opportunity for families to honour their children through practices rooted in Blackfoot knowledge and traditions.

Organizers are inviting Blackfoot mothers and families who have retained their baby’s placenta and are interested in participating in a culturally grounded ceremony. The event is intended to support the revitalization and continuation of traditional teachings while creating space for families to strengthen their connection to culture, community, and identity.

Location details will be provided directly to registered participants.

The International Day of the Midwife (IDM) 2026 theme, “One Million More Midwives,” highlights a global call to address critical midwifery workforce shortages. Evidence shows that investing in well-educated, regulated, and supported midwives improves outcomes for women, newborns, and newborns while strengthening health systems. For AAM, this reinforces the importance of advocacy for sustainable workforce planning and full scope of practice to ensure better care across Alberta and beyond.

A great opportunity to connect with other moms in your postpartum time!

✨Welcome To The Nurture Circle - You Belong Here!
The early months of motherhood are profound. You and your baby are learning each other, while you’re quietly becoming a new version of yourself.
The Nurture Circle is a 6-week in-person postpartum group for mothers with babies 0–12 months in Edmonton. It is not a program selling you anything. Instead, it is a warm, intimate space to be seen, heard, and genuinely supported — while building the real-life community every mother needs.
Guided by Mandy Rempfer-Kuncio, pelvic physiotherapist and doula with over 17 years of experience, each week blends grounded education with honest conversation, meaningful reflection, and the kind of care that holds you — and your baby.
Over six weeks together, you can expect:
- Honest, grounded education on postpartum and matrescence
- Real conversation with mothers who truly get it
- Space to be seen, heard, and understood — without judgment
- Gentle nourishment for your body and heart
- The beginning of your real-life village
By the end, many mothers leave feeling less alone, steadier in their body and emotions, more confident in their instincts, and connected to a community that continues to show up for them.
A nurtured mother nurtures her baby. Healthy mothers build healthy families — and healthy families build healthier communities. This is where it begins.
 📅Tuesdays, April 7 – May 12
🕗 1:00 – 2:30pm
👶Babies welcome
Space is limited to 10 mothers to keep the circle intimate and relational. You are warmly invited. 💖 Your village can begin here.
