This group is for parents who seek social support and friendship with other like-minded parents. Are you seeking a community where your inclusive, liberal values will be reinforced by other parents. We don't all have to make the same choices, but let's support each other in our choices and promote acceptance. This group may particularly appeal to liberal parents, GLBTQ parents, feminist parents and those who practice equally shared parenting, parents seeking holistic/natural lifestyles and environmentalism, and/or those seeking deeper meaning and spiritual satisfaction/personal growth. Let's get together to explore parenting issues but also how to help our kids navigate a culture that may not share our values. Let's make a space for true connection and intellectual stimulation as well as fun and creativity.
