A collective of parents providing support and sharing experience with others. We come from a variety of parenting philosophies, but all of us share the desire to parent peacefully and consciously- reflecting on what is best for our families, our children, and our planet.

Our Mission...

Inform parents about birthing and parenting practices that may fall outside the mainstream but have been shown to support optimal human development. Examples include extended breastfeeding, babywearing, co-sleeping, unmedicated birth and gentle discipline.

Support families in having their needs met on all levels—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Connect children, parents and those who serve families with one another as we seek to establish our modern day tribe.

Empower mothers and fathers to listen to their own intuition and inner guidance about the best choices for their families.

from The Alliance for Transforming the Lives of Children...

Families today face unprecedented challenges—isolation, loss of the extended family, conflicting advice about how to parent, and the stress of modern-day life. Even with these challenges, some children are thriving due to the love and commitment of their families and communities. What can we learn from them?

It is the birthright of every human being to be conceived, carried, birthed, and nurtured in the best possible way. By recognizing and responding to nature's imperatives, individually and collectively, we foster optimal human development and a brighter future for our world.

A growing body of evidence now documents that the quality of a person's earliest experiences of life has a major impact on that person's entire life. It is therefore essential that we, as a society, give high priority to nurturing our children in accordance with nature's design.
