Nefer Bookcafé

Reproduction is bigger than birth. And the conversation deserves to be, too.

Pick up these books at NEFER. Look at all the questions they raise about our bodies, our choices, our histories, our relationships, our labor, our joy, and the systems that shape how we bring life into this world — and how we choose to live our own.

At NEFER, we want the FULL conversation. Pregnancy and birth, yes. But also fertility, infertility, abortion, sexuality, pleasure, loss, motherhood, the decision not to mother, reproductive justice, and what it means to have agency over our own bodies. We want to talk about the things we whisper, the things we debate, the things we haven't quite figured out how to say.

That's The Assemblage: Birth Workers. A gathering for birth workers, maternal health professionals, advocates, writers, storytellers, and those whose work and lives touch these questions. Come ready to exchange ideas, share perspective, and make room for the conversations that don't always fit into a professional conference or a textbook.

Because caring for people means caring about the whole story. And we can't tell the whole story if we only talk about the birth.
