In May 2018, HMN introduced our Monthly Holistic Intentions themes to our members in our HMN National Facebook group. Each month there is a different focus, as you can see below. This is a fun way to connect with holistic parents across the US. We believe there is no litmus test for holistic living. Our groups are judgment-free places to learn and support one another. Wherever you are on your holistic parenting journey is just where you are meant to be!
In order to participate in our monthly intentions please consider becoming a donating member to our non-profit organization. If you have ideas for future themes, or would like to volunteer to gather ideas for future monthly events, email us at networking@holisticmoms.or
August 2018: Healthy Lunch Ideas
Nutritious meals keep us healthy, but they can also become a chore. This month, we will share ideas for refreshing your family’s lunch routine. Whether you’re getting ready for back to school, homeschooling, prepping lunches for you and your family, or all of the above, join us for this online event as we discuss nutritious meals and how to fit them into your family’s routine.
We encourage members to gather in person to discuss, create or attend events with their chapter, in addition to your scheduled monthly meetings. We would LOVE to see your photos and hear your stories.

July 2018: Journaling In July
The “lazy” days of summer are here! As busy parents, summer can feel anything *but* lazy. Let’s set an intention for this month to spend time with pen (or pencil or marker) to paper. Reflect, show gratitude, bullet journal, whatever works for you!
Every week we will update the event with ideas for you to journal throughout the week. We’d love to see screenshots or photos of your inspiring work. Doodle, draw, or write to bring your intentions to reality. *Watch for a special announcement coming soon (hint: contest) when you participate in this event!**
We encourage members to gather in person, creating or attending events with their chapter, in addition to your scheduled monthly meetings.

June 2018: Get Outdoors
June is a great month to renew your family’s intention to spend more time outside, and more time in nature! Throughout the month of June, we invite you to share resources and inspiration to encourage others to Get Outdoors! Camping, hiking, picnics, backyard play, no event is too big or too small to share with our members. Even if rain tries to stop you, remember this: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” – Alfred Wainwright

May 2018: Intentional Screen and Device Use for Your Family
April 30-May 6 is Screen Free week and HMN is focusing on intentional use of screens and devices throughout the month of May.
If you have been thinking about going screen free, or being more intentional about screen and device use in your household, this is the place to support and encourage one another. Throughout the month of May, if you find info or attend an event related to connecting in person, post the information here. If you aren’t participating in Screen Free Week this year, but have in the past, post here with your supportive ideas and alternatives to using screens.
We encourage members to gather in person, creating or attending events with their chapter, in addition to your scheduled monthly meetings.
