Take a deep dive into your birth story, led by birth doula Liz Grant, to discover what you can learn from your birth experience.
Over the course of four hours, Liz Grant leads each mother on an independent journey to explore her birth story in a nonlinear and creative way so that a mother can begin to see her birth in a new way and begin to treat herself with empathy.
Liz uses a variety of directed contemplative, meditative, and therapeutic exercises.
This class is for ALL women who have given birth to a baby.
To celebrate the PizzaRev Lafayette Grand Opening, PizzaRev will host a “Pay What You Want for Pizza” fundraiser event on Thursday, June 9, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The restaurant will be open to the public all day and guests will be invited to “pay-what-they-want” for a custom-built, personal-sized pizza, with a suggested $8 donation.

Remember those books where you got to choose your own adventure? In “The Treasures of Toothless Jack” by Joaquin Aviña, audience members get a chance to choose the path of the play’s two friends as they are pulled into a mystery, challenge bad guys and possibly end the debate of whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable.
Audience and actors take a moderate hike amidst the scenic backdrop of Boulder Open Space while scenes from “The Treasures of Toothless Jack” are performed along the way.
Audience members are encouraged to bring camping chairs and/or blankets and mats to sit on while watching the scenes. Water, sunscreen and hats are suggested and comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing are strongly encouraged. In case of inclement weather, the performance will be held under the Picnic Shelter.
Buy early! Each hike is capped at low numbers and tends to sell out in advance.
Moms! Book your sitters! The Pump and Dump show is coming to town – it’s time to get out of the house, for once! Shayna Ferm and her sidekick MC Doula (aka Tracey Tee) host this outrageous, irreverent, raucous celebration of the trials of parenthood with comedy, music, games, prizes, drinking, swearing and commiseration.
On Wednesday, November 30th, the Pump and Dump will bring the Fall continuation of their wildly popular “Year of the Mother” national tour to Comedy Works South at the Landmark in Greenwood Village, CO. The tour will continue on to Denver, Salt Lake, Phoenix, Seattle and Nashville, to name few. Moms across America (and even dads) will have the opportunity to raise their glasses and experience the kindred spirit of parenthood. The moment Shayna and Tracey hit the stage, they invoke boisterous laughter from an audience buzzing with anticipation of a fun night out with friends after being held captive in their own homes by the blessings and frustrations of raising a family.

World’s largest meetup organization for moms, MOPS International, joins forces with Evereve, a celebrated contemporary retail brand that specializes in styling moms to host the Darling! Fashion Show, taking place in Denver at Mile High Station on Thursday, April 6, 2017.
“Evereve is so excited for our third year of partnership with Darling!” says Liz Sinnott, Evereve Regional Director. “Both of our organizations believe that moms can change the world. This one evening inspires so many moms to embrace their power and beauty!”
Attendees will be the first to preview Evereve’s Spring 2017 line. Improv comedy group, Theater off the Cuff will entertain and food will be prepared by Footers Catering. Proceeds from the fashion event will go directly to support teen moms, military moms, and other moms-in need.
“Focusing on inner beauty and celebrating the tremendous journey of motherhood, Darling! is a can’t miss night out.” Comments Kristen Hallinan, MOPS Director of Development. “Cheering on moms as they model fashionable clothes selected with moms in mind, taking photos in a vintage VW Shutterbus, enjoying the delicious food, and seeing the reveal of the third annual high fashion dress that’s made entirely of The MOPS Magazine are just some of the highlights of this growing event.”
