This is a group for parents (or potential parents) to share ideas about non-authoritarian parenting. The whole family is invited, but some events may be more appropriate than others for young children. Blind obedience to authority is the plague of our society.

This is a group to explore the alternatives, including collaborative p …

Through traditional Spirit worship, I have committed myself to understanding the ways of our Ancestors through reading, teaching and meditation. Having learned the energy of the Ancestors, I am able to move through life with …
