| Next Month's Meeting
Choices in Education
March 1, 2011 7-9 PM | | Holistic Moms Network's Chicago Western Suburbs Chapter has invited a group of educators from a wide spectrum of non-tradiional schooling venues to present their philosophies on education, allowing area families to consider all options in considering their standards for education with the values to match. From various methods of homeschooling to Montessori, Waldorf to Classical, these presentations will allow families to compare and contrast major differences and find the similarities of what is best for their childrens' minds, bodies, hearts and souls. Presentations will be approximately 10 minutes with an additional five minutes for questions. Additional time at the end of the meeting will be provided for personal inquiries. The public is invited to attend. |
Member Profile

How long have you been a member of HMN? I have been a member since October 2008.  I'm a Holistic Mom because: My husband, a chiropractor, is very passionate about preventative health. He has been instrumental in teaching me all about natural: healing, childbirth, immunity and nutrition. Once I realized everything he said just made sense (with a lot of follow-up research on my own), and even though it was very opposite to how I was raised, I knew this was going to be the way we were going to raise our family. Joining HMN then introduced me to so many more holistic ideals that we have since incorporated into our family and continue to learn about daily.
My holistic passions are: Chiropractic, natural childbirth, real nutrition, natural immunity and healing, alternative schooling, a chemical/toxin-free environment.
What inspires me about Holistic Moms: It is amazing to be among moms/families that stand up for their children, against mainstream living, in order to stay true to themselves and make sure their children will be healthier and wiser then this generation and thus make the world a better place. This is done thru education, community and an open-mindedness that is quite refreshing and truly amazing to be a part of.
