Midwifery is a sacred art and through it we honour those who came before us. Our generation did not invent the right to give birth where and with whom one chooses, and we revere the instincts that facilitate healthy non-medical births all over the world. [Ancient Art Midwifery Institute](https://www.ancientartmidwifery.com/) is fundamentally dedicated to the promotion of midwifery as more than a contemporary profession.  We want to be known as someone who held space and provided resources for the next generation of smart, caring midwives who practice the ancient art of touching the future. [Lori Barklage](http://www.birthingpeacewithin.com/free-consultation/) is the founder of [Birthing peace within](http://www.birthingpeacewithin.com/) and continues to share the resources and wisdom of this ancient art.
