Online Resources: Yahoo Groups

The following is a list of some Yahoo groups that might be of interest to folks looking for support for natural family living in or around Northern Virginia.
Slightly updated 6/09 from original 9/08 posting.

Northern Virginia Families for Natural Living
This is a great site with lots of wonderful, knowledgeable folks and useful databases. Ask anything from questions about farm food, detox protocols, safe mattresses -- you name it.


Attachment Parenting International Northern Virginia Chapter
This Yahoo group is closed to the public, I believe (as in not searchable, or you need an invitation to join). If you can't access this page to request an invitation, email Mary Rose Burke at maryroseburke@gmail.com

Babywearing in DC/MD/VA
This group has regular meetings. The lists are only for meeting times/dates.

BirthCare and Women's Health
List for clients of freestanding birth center in Alexandria

DC Cloth Diaperers
Info and occasional meetups

DC Feminist Moms
Discussing the politics of motherhood (not necessarily crunchy, but I figure there might be crossover appeal, and it's a new list, so I thought I'd add!)

DC Green Mommies
Info sharing

NoVahomebirth
Support, occasional meetings

Northern Virginia Coconut Coop
A buying club for Tropical Traditions and Wilderness Family Naturals products

I have another resource to add to your list that I want to make sure you are aware of: Holistic Moms Network (http://www.holisticmoms.org/). We have a Northern Virginia Chapter and would love for you to share our info here. We also have a blog (http://hmnofnova.blogspot.com/) with lots of info about our meetings etc. Please feel free to contact me for more info.
To your health!
