EMBRACING PARENTING

 Our groups are designed to help you sift through parenting decisions, learn about a range of parenting approaches and most of all we are here to listen to your stories and connect you with other parents. For the most part, we're considering responsive, respectful and conscious parenting approaches together. That said, we're also always acknowledging the level of self compassion and grace required to parent with greater intention. We welcome your unique experience.

 

Once you subscribe, you'll have access to the Zoom links for ALL groups as well as the Signal and WhatsApp private chat group links to join the conversations and join in-person opportunities for those interested. We also meet ONE SATURDAY morning per month for working or busy parents who can't join on weekdays. You're always welcome to join audio only from anywhere, babies and children are welcome to be with you however these are not conversations centered for children to necessarily participate (although we all love baby smiles and toddler shares). These is time to set aside for you to connect with other adults and share in the journey together.
