Carolina Midwives&rsquo; LuncheonHosted by Thriving Birthworkers of NC and facilitated by Rebecca Severin, the Carolina Midwives Luncheon is an intimate invitation-only gathering for midwives who are committed to safe, accessible and legally protected community-based care across North Carolina. The luncheon is an opportunity to strengthen camaraderie among those who care deeply about families, community birth, and the future of midwifery in North Carolina.
