The event is designed to facilitate a chance for non-member parents who are curious about health and parenting perspectives outside the mainstream to ask questions and meet each other. Headlining the event, which is open to the public, is nationally known author and lecturer Dr. Lauren Feder (?Natural Baby and Childcare? and ?The Parents? Concise Guide to Childhood Vaccinations?).
Guests can speak directly with representatives from a variety of natural living professions including homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractics, midwifery, lactation consultation and hypnotherapy. Also attending will be representatives from the Arroyo Food Co-Op, Waldorf School, home schooling, cloth diapering, VBAC Facts (vaginal birth after a C-section), La Leche League, and the Center for Nonviolent Education and Parenting. Dr. Haushka Skin Care and Boiron (homeopathic medicine) will have tables as well. ?We are very pleased about both the number and diversity of participants expected,? said Micaela Darr, one of the group?s current co-leaders.
There will be light refreshments--including fair trade coffee and tea--activities for children, free samples, and product drawings.
The Los Angeles/South Pasadena chapter meets the first Wednesday of every month to discuss a variety of natural health and parenting topics at the same time and location as the event. For more information please visit www.holisticmoms.org, or contact Nicole Hanson or Micaela Darr: hmnla@yahoo.com.
