the flypost |
We talk about community being so important while we move through pregnancy, birth and early postpartum but truthfully community is helpful always and especially in the changing seasons that parenthood holds. So here are some beautiful offerings from us, our doulas, educators and friends of Radiant Birth.
Why call it the flypost?
Flyposting was never polite (actually, we’re pretty sure it was illegal, ha). Posters pasted up in the night, layered over yesterday's, paint dripping where someone couldn't wait for it to dry; a whole neighbourhood's worth of this is what I have to offer and this is what I believe, stuck up wherever there was room. We like the idea of challenging the status quo, being wild and brave.
Honestly, we think some of the best things happen organically, over time, creative, involve all sorts of people, things, ideas and events. To us, a place where we can try to recreate a real life wall where people would lather a poster with paint the scream to the world all that they have to offer; is an idea we’d like to embrace in our own way here. What you'll find here isn't curated to look tidy. It's curated to be real and true. Offerings, real people, real opportunities for connection, learning and joy; from our community, added as they come, layered as they build.
Come back again and again, the wall will look different, because we do too.
