This group is meant to help us meet other zen parents in our area.:) I live in Antioch but I am sure we can include folks nearby until a group in their area is started. Ideas for meetups are always welcome. We are a meetup group based on the principals of Zen Parenting as seen below. No one is perfect but we try our best and support one another on this journey. If we make mistakes, but are willing to learn and do better then we grow as people and parents."Certainly, we're not all going to agree …

In a nutshell: We are a group of like minded parents who put the developmental needs of our children first. We strive to provide a supportive environment for our children first and foremost, accentuating the positive while minimizing the negative - so their childhood experiences and our parenting adventures are focused on creative thinking, problem solving and loving acceptance. Children of any age welcome.

I am organizing a group for single mothers who have the desire to travel abroad but have limited resources in the way of childcare and possibly funds. My intention is to organize small travel groups for interesting and exotic destinations that may be intimidating price or logistics wise for mothers traveling with their kids. I'd generally prefer to stay away from cruises and all inclusives as those tend to be doable with/without a network like mine. I will be organizing trips to Europe, Africa, …

No parent should be alone in raising their challenging child. It truly takes a community to raise a child. Whatever labels we've had to attach to our child to describe them to our society, they are still individuals. There is no complex child manual, and still not a lot of educational material. I believe part of "winning" in this game of parent hood with our child is educating ourselves, some of the best education comes from other parents. You're not a bad parent.

A new way of living, working, and caring for your children - a great workspace and infant/toddler carespace. Opening in San Francisco in 2013!

The purpose of this group is sharing our Love of our Heavenly Father and His precious Son, Jesus Christ, through all the things we do together. I would love to meet other Christian moms who we can share our faith with, whatever we do together.  Like through devotions and Bible study, if possible, through exercise (like walking, hiking, bike riding, rollerbladding, and whatever other exercise  members want to do) and zoos, museums, parks, story time at the library and bookstores, play dates in me …
