BECOME A
Rebozo Way Educator in Parenting Practices (REP)
Help spread the word about
in-arms parenting and sell our educational products or use them in
sharing or teaching about in-arms parenting. For information on becoming
a REP: email us at: REP@rebozoway.org,
or call us at 1-805-965-4402,
or write to us at PO Box 22506, Santa Barbara, CA 93121.
We prefer to initiate contact
with prospective educators (REPs) by attaching the information to
an email. You may also give us a snail mail address if an email contact
is not available.
Potential educators, please
note:
We have created a new volunteer associate position called REP (Rebozo
Way Educator in Parenting Practices) when we became a 501(c)3 public
charity organized for educational purposes, retroactive to fall 2004.
You pay a one-time charge of $35 which
entitles you to support, and educational materials at a discount and/or
for free. Initially you will receive a REP packet that includes one
copy of the Rebozo Way Video (in VHS or DVD) and a variety of written
materials (we will send them in English unless you specify that you
prefer Spanish). Shipping costs are covered in the charge for becoming
a REP. We are still working out the details but we may ask for a yearly
renewal fee that would be $20 or less, and would again include receiving
materials from us.
This position is for people
who are interested in promoting in-arms parenting, especially traditional
ways to wear babies, and the other aspects of our project (birthing,
traditional healing, traditional ways of community, and so on). .
At this point, we envision that each REP relationship will be unique,
and we encourage you to give lectures and babywearing demonstrations,
classes, and have booths at faires and conferences to promote these
ideas. Feel free to use the resources we provide free of charge on
our website, including photos and articles, as long as you credit
The Rebozo Way Project. We now have a webpage dedicated to listing
upcoming conferences and events http://www.rebozoway.org/projects/Conferences.html
, and another that features our booth kit, at http://www.rebozoway.org/projects/BoothKit.html.
We also provide discounted
prices on our video, The Rebozo Way, and will consider discounts on
the other books and videos we offer, although we ourselves buy them
as wholesale prices--we are currently working out a variety of packets,
combinations of books, videos and written materials, that we can offer
to REPs. We also have a handout on Publicizing and Promoting the Rebozo
Way, which we can email to any REP who is interested. Our goal is
to work together to promote what we call The Rebozo Way of Life, for
the benefit of all beings in our individual spheres and across the
planet.
I've so much enjoyed meeting
so many wonderful folks over the years, and expect the richness that
is the Rebozo Way Project will only get more so as we diversify our
activities and deepen our commitment to "educating through art,
images, and stories from cultures that successfully practice in-arms
parenting in our modern world." I am very excited about the new
possibilities now, and I hope that you are too.
barbara, for the Rebozo Way
