12th Annual RVA Peace Festival!

Join the 12th Annual RVA Peace Festival! Where diversity is celebrated and community is embraced.  Embrace Birth and Midwifery Care will have a table at this year's festival being held at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church!  This has historically been a wonderful event with a great mission:

 The mission of the annual RVA Peace Festival is to provide an opportunity for children, youth, and adults of the greater Richmond area to gather in celebration of peace and diversity.  It is our hope that this will foster a growing sense of community.  

Come by our table and sign up for our free drawing for our Embrace Botanicals, Balms for the Body, Salves for the Soul, Basket of Love!
