With Love & Friendship,  Jennifer Stahl, Amanda Montano, Grace Soraparu & Amy Hunter Chapter Leaders - Chicago Western Suburbs Facebook Website MONTHLY CHAPTER MEETING   SETTING INTENTIONS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD - A MINI WORKSHOP!   WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16TH, 7:00 PM     "An intention is a directed impulse of consciousness that contains the seed form of that which you aim to create." -Deepak Chopra   Intentions stem from our deepest desires and should not be confused with goals or resolutions. They are guiding principles for how we live in this world, and for what we align our lives with. How is your life aligned? Are you living in a way that resonates with your Higher Self, guiding you further down your life's true path? Are your decisions planting Karmic seeds that align with your deepest desires and intentions? For this meeting, Amanda Montano will guide us through a meditation, leading us toward a place of silence, stillness and contentment. This is a place where our minds and egos step aside, where we connect to the eternal joy that exists within each of us. In this state, we will plant pure seeds of intention, seeds that align with our Higher Selves. We will spend time in self-reflection, journaling, discussion and will learn how to mindfully allow these intentions to guide our year ahead. Bring a journal and pen! Amanda Montano is a member of Holistic Moms Network and an independent Registered Yoga Teacher, offering group and private yoga classes in the Naperville area.

February 20th - Summer Camps for Kids... Bring them along! MEMBER HIGHLIGHT KIM MORTON How long have you been a member of HMN?:   I have been a member of HMN for 2 months. I am "friends" with many of the members, but made it official after attending an awesome holistic retreat in September! I am a holistic mom because:   I am a holistic mom because I believe in being healthy as a WHOLE. I want my kids to be emotionally, socially, and physically healthy. We fell into this "lifestyle" when my oldest son became very sick about 4 years ago. PANS/ Immune deficiency, high viral load- Lyme disease- quickly I had to learn and research how to heal him. It became REALLY important to figure out HOW he got so sick to begin with!!! Western medicine failed us after multiple invasive treatments-so we turned to a homeopath in October of 2017 and he's never been healthier. Our entire family uses homeopathy, along with other holistic medicines. We have done just about everything! My holistic passions are:   My holistic passions are homeopathy, epigenetics, essential oils, herbals (Stephen Bruhner), keeping my home free of toxins, mold toxicity, accupuncture, chiropractic care, energy work, and obviously good food! I love reading and learning from other moms. Recently I stated Intermittent fasting and am LOVING it!   What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? HMN is a WEALTH of knowledge! I love surrounding myself with "like-minded", non-judgmental moms. I love learning new things and of course the resources are amazing! Every single one of you inspires me to to STAY HEALTHY,and be a better mom!!       One of my favorite recipes: CREAMY CAULIFLOWER BAKE Okay- I am not much of a cook. This is something I am working on. I would say I have been using A LOT of Cauliflower lately- think mashed potatoes, casseroles, pizza crust. This dip was a HUGE hit over the holidays and has basically no carbs! 2019 MEETINGS (subject to change)   Starting in 2019, Meetings will be be held the 3rd Wednesday of the month at our new location, Steeple Run Clubhouse, 6s050 Steeple Run Drive, Naperville, IL.
