Playfully App

Everyone needs new activities for their growing baby. You can take a class, get ideas from a friend, read a book, or have them arrive on your device, no effort necessary. Playfully offers an easy way to pass the time by spoon feeding you tons of ideas for children 0-3 years of age.

Sign up and have access to personalized play, learn about upcoming milestones to watch for and see how far baby has come with the timeline that saves all those precious moments, so you have a history of those important first’s.

Oh, and you’ll see me and my videos on their classes page!

Fathers Workshop

Nova Institute

Fathering Today – 2020  

Fatherhood is changing. It is being remade by those who love to spend time with their children.

Whatever we give our heart to will reshape us. But we should determine what that change will look like. This is the spiritual work of fathering. How to do this is the question we will consider.

Saturday, May 2nd and Sunday, May 3rd

Come join us in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra for a weekend workshop devoted to this topic with conversation, reflection, hands-on participation (whittling), and more.

Berkeley New Parents Group

Berkeley New Parents Group starting.

Now that BirthWays no longer has a brick and mortar space, Stacia Biltekoff is offering her fabulous support groups at the JCC East Bay. This is not a Jewish group, the JCC is just the venue.

The 6 week facilitated group is open to parents of all genders and their babies (0-4 months old).  It takes place Tuesdays from 10:30-12:00 and runs from August 27th to October 8th, 2019 (skipping 10/1 as the JCC is closed that day)

 Each group starts with a check in and then goes with the topics that arise from the group. Stacia encourages all of the parents to speak from their hearts and their minds and encourages peer support as well as offering psycho-education when appropriate.

Stacia also facilitates the parents to meet outside of group time as well to ensure that community is formed.
