IndyAP is a local coalition promoting and providing support for attachment parenting practices that develop and enhance a nurturing, responsive relationship between parent and child.
We are an inclusive, unique and diverse group of devoted parents who identify with the attachment parenting philosophy. We support each other in our parenting successes and struggles as we lovingly guide our children towards a secure and successful independence. Each member's unique background and perspectives bring together a remarkably valuable resource of experience and knowledge that we all benefit from greatly.

The Porter County (NW Indiana) LLL group is a great group of mamas. They have a regular series meeting (2nd Wednesdays), an evening meeting (3rd Thursdays), and a toddler meeting (4th Wednesdays).
We are in the develpoing stages of creating a "sacred circle" of women that meets one night a month to share and build community.
you can either PM me OR look at our yahoo group;
I've run a yahoo group for NW Indiana moms for a year and a half now. Mom's Night Outs, playdates, parkdates, etc. Moms of all types and belief systems, so not necessarily AP though there are some very AP moms on the group. Mostly Lake and Porter Counties, though there are some over the border into IL and down south in Newton and Jasper as well. We'd be glad to have you!
For all sorts of reasons women's circles are sprouting up everywhere!
We aim to provide a haven where essential female values can be discussed, an opportunity to "mesh" positive women and plant the seeds of growth in the spirit of a community of inspiring women, while celebrating the rich diverisity of our lives.
Women longing for a powerful and supportive community in which to thrive can find and share wisdom here. a place to gather with the purpose of embracing shared and unique womanly traits such as Marriage, Child Birth, Mothering, sickness, celebrations and common issues of the day.
We will host a safe place for women of consious thinking to meet in a monthly circle in order to build bonds, develope a sense of community, benifit from eachothers strenghs, draw from one anothers expeiriences and MOST important provide a support network for lifes journey as women!
A Yahoo Group serves as our forum for announcements, up coming circle meetings, ideas to be exchanged and as a means of connecting with other members.
No Forrest Park because of RAIN!!! Check info below for new meeting place!
What: Holistic Moms Playgroup
When: Thursday April 26th @ 10:00am
Where: Play*A*Lot @ Pinheads in Fishers (they charge $4.50 per child)
Why: Because we need some like-minded moms to band together on the northside. We are also in the process of starting an official Holistic Moms Network Chapter for North Indy. We will be having the open house in no more than two months. AP moms, holistic moms, cloth diaper junkies etc are welcome! (actually everyone is welcome even if you are just curious and wanna learn more!)
We are a new group and are just getting to know one another so please come, we are all really excited to hang with moms that think along the same lines!
Barefoot Herbs + Barefoot Kids is having a workshop focused on the usage of herbs and children on Wednesday, May 23rd from 6:00-8:00. Justin Peterson, Bloomington Herbalist, will be presenting and answering questions. The workshop is only $5, and will include handouts & notes. Lap babies are welcome, but we are asking for you to find childcare for your babies & toddlers on the move - because of limited space and breakable items. Come and learn about safe and natural remedies for your little one.
Please call and sign up if you plan to attend - 812-339-5090.

Sorry about the title saying Cloth Diapering Workshop in my last post! We will be having a cloth diapering workshop, as well.
Barefoot Herbs + Barefoot Kids is having a cloth diapering workshop on Saturday, June 2nd from 4:00-6:00. Julie Finn, expierenced cloth diapering mama, will be presenting and answering questions. The workshop will focus on the different kinds of cloth diapers & the benefits to you, your baby & the planet. Once again, lap babies are welcome, but we are asking for you to find childcare for your babies & toddlers on the move - because of limited space and breakable items. This will be a great class for families new to cloth diapers, or new families expecting their first child. Cost for this workshop, is yet to be determined, but will not be over $10. I will repost, when I know more.
Please call and sign up if you plan to attend - 812-339-5090.
