Issue 53 of The Mother magazine
Whenever I take an issue of The Mother to the printer, it
feels like giving birth. The gestation is shorter, but there is that same sense
of a ‘job well done’, of a major burst of creativity and labour
complete, and new life created.
If you’ve never read The Mother magazine, here’s what we’re
about: conscious conception, fertility awareness, peaceful pregnancy, yoga,
freebirth, natural birth, gentle parenting, conscious menarche and menopause,
home education and human-scale education, lotus birth, intactivism, natural
living, home business, organic birth and death, healing modalities, vegetarian
recipes, holistic skin care, herbal health, natural immunity, attachment
parenting, family bed, fathers, grandparenting, baby-wearing, child-chosen
weaning and full-term breastfeeding, vaccine and medicine awareness, gender
balance, eco-activism, and much more.
The Mother magazine is unique ~ there is no other natural
parenting magazine in the world that resembles this publication.
We support your journey into integrated optimal health from
pre-conception to organic death, and everywhere in-between.
A couple of the letters from our mailbag:
I

Thank you for the new TM that arrived. Another

What
a joy to receive those magazines on
Friday ~ I didn’t know which to pluck first! Chronological order flew out the
window and I just had to scan them all, one after the other. Erini, Cyprus
