A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE
Join other women who seek to change the conversation around women's health care. If you'd like to link arms with women who desire healthcare that gives them solutions in line with their natural bodies and demand doctors provide them with solutions that do not destroy their healthy feminine functions, you'll fit right in.
MAY 3 - 5, 2023
Over 3 days, we'll be packing in content that will allow you to speak with authority, confidence and competency. If you have ever felt like you don't have the authority to speak on the topic of women's health without a degree or pedigree, these 3 days will help.
If you desire healthcare that gives women solutions in line with their natural bodies and demand doctors provide them with solutions that do not destroy their healthy feminine functions, this symposium is for you.
We need your voice to get the women’s movement back on track and in line with the intended design of our bodies.
Who is this for?
YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE CULTURE
If you dream to to live in a society that allows us to create the rules for success in line with our biological reality, join us. True feminism protects and supports all of the natural functions of women's bodies. A culture that says it’s acceptable for women to destroy themselves is a culture steeped in misogyny.
YOU WANT TO CHANGE WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE
If you want women to get more than just a "quick fix" from their doctor without truly understanding their symptoms or their causes, join us. We're on a mission to help women operate in line with their bodies' natural design, and recieve healthcare from a provider that cares about that too.
YOU WANT TO HELP WOMEN UNDERSTAND THEIR BODIES
Are you frustrated that many women lack a basic understanding of their fertility that it's difficult to even have conversations about alternative forms of healthcare? Join us to be equipped with language to help equip a generation of women no longer be in battle with their bodies.
"The shifting identities of feminism have led us to a place where men, our bodies, and our very female nature are now seen as barriers to our fulfillment and happiness.
Let's change that."
- Leah A. Jacobson
Learn how to have meaningful conversations with other women about their health, and encourage women to consider natural forms of birth control (without them thinking you are trying to convince them to have 12 children)
This symposium is for you:
-
If you desire women to increase their basic understanding of their bodies and fertility
-
If you want to challenge the notion that popping a pill is easier or more convenient for women
-
If you want to be able to express that your perspective on women's health is respectable and not just based on a religious worldview
