Natural Families of Kalamazoo

Welcome!
We strive to provide resources, education, support and camaraderie for parents who wish to make conscious, compassionate, and informed choices for themselves and their families.

Member families are interested in a variety of natural living issues such as holistic health care, natural birth, attachment parenting, alternative schooling, organic foods, environmentally conscious living, etc. Some of us have been on our natural living journey for many years, while others are just starting out and are seeking information and support in their new endeavors.

The intention of Natural Families of Kalamazoo is to create a network for us, both online and in person.  Though we aren't currently meeting on a monthly basis, we do hope to plan gatherings throughout the year. Group members are  welcomed and encouraged to get together whenever the desire strikes them, and our  yahoo group, NFKalamazoo, is a great way to stay connected!  This is an online space where we can ask questions, let others know about upcoming events, invite people over for playgroups, or just share or vent as needed.  Please join us!

Family Talk Magazine Article
One of our members, Jessica English, besides being a mama of two cool boys, is also a writer for Family Talk Magazine, a bi-monthly publication of the Kalamazoo Gazette, for families in the Kalamazoo area.  The official article is no longer available online, but you can read Jessica's "uncut" version here on our website.

Over 180 members strong
As of February, 2009, our yahoo group is now over 180 members strong and growing!  Read more about our group on our About NFK page.  And if you feel so inclined, please join us!

Kalamazoo for Kids
A new website is now available for all  local families!  Their goal is to include any and all activities, events, and resources for families with kids of all ages living in Kalamazoo and surrounding areas, including summer camps, classes, musical events, pregnancy and birth resources, thrift stores, etc.  If you would like to suggest some links, please email info@kalamazooforkids.com and let them know.  Big or small, they want to know about what's going on so they can spread the word!
