Birthing The Future® is a 501c3 nonprofit
Founded (2003) and directed by Suzanne Arms
We acknowledge that the land where I live and have the BTF office was not freely given. Indigenous peoples from several tribes were the original stewards of this land. Our benefit from this land came at a dire cost to the indigenous people and I give thanks to them. ~ Suzanne Arms

The Human Attachment Project
Our Mission
The world as we have known it is in chaos, and old structures and beliefs are dying. The system and the mindset that created them are going through a painful labor to birth a better world.
Birthing the Future understands that the creation of a new kind of human being, rooted in trust and cooperation, instead of fear and aggression all begins with the primal continuum and how we wire the human brain and heart.
Our contribution is knowledge, inspiration and resources.

How we treat the women who bring children into this world
and whose bodies are the first world for babies
– whether with high honor and tenderness or neglect and abuse
– profoundly influences the direction of every society.
Love and peace, or fear and violence truly do begin in the womb.”
We have today the tools at hand to break
inter-generational cycles of abuse and neglect, even war,
and to prevent and heal birth-related trauma that is so prevalent.
Love Suzanne Arms
Birthing The Future® promotes a vision that all children are wanted and welcomed into the world and that every community and society has policies that protect and support each mother-baby pair – the most vulnerable of all pairs – and their symbiotic bond, which starts pre-conception, is the most critical relationship of all. We understand, and science now proves, that all babies are conscious, starting at conception. We envision a world where, in the words of author-educator Pam Leo (Connection Parenting) where children don’t have to recover from their childhoods.
Consciously Conceiving & Parenting
Climate Crisis & Mass Extinctions threaten all life, including all children who are born
“These must be our first priority, whatever the cost. Immediate changes required include: ending our addiction to fossil fuels; funding solar, wind & water power & possibly also very small nuclear plants; doing massive reforestation, switching to sustainable forms of agriculture; and stopping the pollution of soil, water and air.
We must:
• De-militarize our police, restructure our justice system, and end for-profit prisons • Fund social services, Mental Health, Education & Recreation • Make Reparations to Black & Native communities • Support Black and Native businesses & buy from them • Root out white supremacist thinking and behavior in our own lives and…
As science now proves…
– through neuro-biology, epigenetics, psycho-immunology, gut-brain and attachment research – it is during the “Primal Continuum of Human Development” that lifelong patterns are laid down in our developing immune system and brain. Love or fear, creativity or depression, trust or alienation, ease or anxiety, vibrant health or chronic illness…and feeling a part of a community or feeling isolated. These are the visible results, across our society.
“Until now, birth and the critical mother-baby bond have been left out of the most important discussions and plans for how to create a better world. Nothing will fundamentally change until we understand that it is not either mothers or babies that should be the focus: it’s both. This unit must be the focus for every community and society who wants a better world. For they are one system. What we do to one – or fail to do to one – we do to the other.”
Abortion: Our White Paper
“If you’re are willing to open your minds and heart and engage in a deeper conversation about abortion, I humbly offer this piece…”

Praise for Suzanne Arms’ work
WE grieve our country’s racist history.
We commit to helping end this horror, starting with addressing white supremacy and privilege
…in ourselves & all our institutions
Bringing children into the world consciously & meeting all their needs leads to trust & cooperation… not fear & defense… and to protecting all life on Mother Earth.
We grieve the horrific racist history of the U.S. & all our institutions…
and work to end white power and privilege, in ourselves & others
Racism is a public health issue
Huge disparities between White & Black – and Native – Americans. It starts in the womb and results in chronic ill-health & shortened life spans
