Project Germinate
There are many reasons to create a project especially for pregnant women. The main one is that everyone agrees the woman plays a key role during pregnancy and in the baby's development. The strong bond between mother and baby starts before birth and continues during the first six months, a time when the father is still finding his place in the relationship. This strong influence also appears later in raising children, especially in teaching values, which begins even before birth.
What is the Project Germinate?
With this project, the Sembradores de Luz group aims to develop and distribute materials that support the implementation of educational activities focused on welcoming pregnant women in spiritist centers. Our goal is to strengthen the spiritual, emotional, and informational support for expectant mothers, aligning this effort with the principles of Spiritism and promoting a more conscious and loving experience of motherhood.
What is a support group for pregnant women? Where do I start?
