Benefits of Membership

Benefits of Membership (from HolisticMoms.org)

The Holistic Moms Network is a non-profit organization. We depend upon your membership to help us build our communities, reach out to parents across the country, and to provide links to the information and resources we all need for holistic parenting. Our organization made up of a collection of local member-run chapters - the heart and soul of our organization. Each local chapter determines its own activities, clubs, and events and, as such, these may vary from chapter to chapter. However, membership in the Holistic Moms Network provides all members with the following benefits:

Community Membership: As a member of the Holistic Moms Network, you will have many opportunities to meet other holistic moms, share experiences and ideas, and build friendships on both national and local levels. Being connected to the HMN network is what membership is all about!

National Email Loop: As an HMN member you can join our National Email Loop -- an online community for holistic parents across the country. This community is a wonderful place to share resources and information and to learn from one another!

Local Chapter Participation: Local HMN chapters offer a variety of activities, including monthly meetings where members can gather to support one another and learn about a variety of issues and topics. Most chapters invite professional guest speakers from the community to teach the group about alternative health and parenting issues. Local chapters may also offer playgroups and additional clubs or activities, such as Moms Nights Out, Mom-and-Tot Outings, and more! Details on chapter activities can be found on local chapter websites.

Members-Only Email Loops: As a member of HMN, you can join your chapter's on-line community - a wonderful way to connect with other moms between meetings, share resources and information, and stay up to date with events in your area! If no local chapter exists, you will be added to our National Email Loop where you can connect with other moms across the country and share ideas, resources, and information! Members of local chapter loops are also invited to participate in the National Email Loop.

The Wise Mom E-Newsletter: HMN members also receive a subscription to a thoughtful, quarterly holistic parenting e-newsletter filled with resources and information for natural living. To see the premiere issue of our e-newsletter, click here!
Special Offers from Our Sponsors. As a member of our organization, you can take advantage of special offers available to HMN members on a variety of resources to help you on your journey of holistic living and parenting.

Members-Only Rates at Special Events. Members of HMN receive special rates at such events as our annual Natural Living Conference and other HMN-sponsored special events.

If no chapter exists in your area, please consider starting a local chapter! If you would like to join HMN without a chapter affiliation, we will welcome you to our community and will add you to our National Email Loop to connect with other holistic moms across the country. You will also receive the Wise Mom e-newsletter.

Do you know an expecting mom? Are you a doula or midwife? Then consider giving a membership to the Holistic Moms Network as a gift! What better way to give a new mom the support and friendship she needs?
