Calling All Crunchies...

I know you're out there. You have to be there, somewhere among the 1,800 moms waiting for meetups in the Boston area, you must be. You believe in natural learning from birth, which probably means that you are also an attachment parent.

Your way of life brings new insights every day, about natural child rearing, natural eating, natural healing, natural birthing, hygiene, sleeping, exercising, working, saving the planet, poopin'... just about every aspect of life :)

You must have at least heard of elimination communication, unschooling, co-sleeping, raw-food, no-limits, and other ideas that you either practice or not, but about which you would like to share your opinions or maybe wrap your mind more seriously. Um. Around.

It doesn't mean that you apply all or any of them to your daily life, but you see a path where you would like to take a walk and interesting partners with whom you would like to share the road. You probably feel that most people don't get where you're coming from, sometimes not even your own family. That you would love your kids to know more kids like them. That you would love to have lived or at least visited that village... the one it takes to raise a child.

I invite you to join our group. It is aimed to be a small and close-knit community that grows together. So if your idea of friendship, family, parenting, community are of the warmer kind, and not the instrumental kind, you will probably find a new home with us. We will share our homes with eachother, cook (or un-cook), talk (or be quiet with one another), take day trips and camping trips, and generally try to become that village for our children to grow in. For us to grow in.

Don't hesitate, come out from behind that crowd.
