MONTHLY CHAPTER MEETING HOLISTIC MOMS CONNECT Wednesday, January 15th, 7pm SETTING YOUR 2020 INTENTION - A MINI WORKSHOP "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? 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.

Free and open to the public | | | MEMBER HIGHLIGHT ELENOR SULLIVAN How long have you been a member of HMN? Since October of 2019! I am a holistic mom because: I enjoy reading and learning about new topics, especially practical topics that I can apply in everyday life. I find the different modalities fascinating and love learning about all the different cultures across the world and what they do to help remain happy and healthy. My holistic passions are... I enjoy using herbs and essential oils in our daily life. I love reading and learning about new holistic topics. What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? I love that there is a dedicated group of ladies that can come together to discuss holistic topics, with no judgment. Often, with friends and family, some of these topics aren't popular to discuss with others. It is nice to have a group of women where you know there will be no judgment, no matter what the topic is!  One of my favorite recipes: My daughter eats all the yogurt, and organic yogurt is SOO expensive! Sometimes, there are added fillers and ingredients we really don't need. Now I make it at home in my instant pot (or you can do it on a stove) 1 gallon of organic milk 1 small container of high fat, plain yogurt Cheesecloth and a candy thermometer I take 1 gallon of organic milk and heat it to 180 degrees (or push yogurt on my instant pot and boil) Once it has been heated to 180 degrees, it must cool down to 110-115 degrees. I used a candy thermometer and let it cool off. After it has cooled down, I add about an 8 oz container of yogurt (or you could use a yogurt starter, just follow the directions on the package) I put the lid on my instant pot and hit yogurt, an 8-hour countdown. After the 8 hours is up, it is ready to eat! If you like thicker yogurt, like Greek, strain it overnight in the fridge through cheesecloth. Now you can add whatever you'd like! We love doing agave, fruit, and nut butters. One of my daughter's favorite is almond butter and strawberry jelly. | | | | | 2020 MEETINGS (subject to change) 3rd Wednesday of each month, 7 - 9 PM (unless otherwise noted) LOCATION: Steeple Run Clubhouse, 6s050 Steeple Run Drive, Naperville, IL.
