Free Extra Pre-Event "Baby Sign Language" Video for The Conscious Parenting Summit :)

We're delighted to be able to offer an extra pre-event exclusive video for you today, a week before the official kick-off of the Conscious Parenting Summit on May the 22nd....

Check out this exclusive new *bonus* interview for the Conscious Parenting Summit, with Monta Briant, who is a “baby sign language” expert. You’ll learn how you can communicate with your child six months to a year before they are even able to speak words or sentences. We’ve already started to teach sign language to our daughter Oria at 5 months old, with beautiful success.

Imagine being able to understand why your baby is crying by being able to read and understand her signs. As you will see in this video, this skill has literally saved children’s lives. Being able to communicate with your baby at these earlier stages lets us into our baby’s world early and we may discover that our little angels are capable of communicating with us about much more than we ever realised :)

You can sign up now for free instant access to this ‘Baby Sign Language’ video interview and additionally, you will get access to the entire free Conscious Parenting Summit, which starts next Tuesday, May 22nd. Furthermore, you will also get free access to the three other bonus videos that are all available when you sign up for the Conscious Parenting Summit...ENJOY :)

All love,
Angela, Mr. Mmmmm and Oria Berry. xxx

The *FREE* Conscious Parenting Summit starts in ONE WEEK :)))

We are SOOOOOO excited :))))

Our fabulous new FREE online Conscious Parenting Summit is due to kick off *one week* from today, on May 22nd...

***Did you sign up already, for this free Summit?***
***Did you invite your friends...?***

If not, please do so at your earliest convenience, my dear, over 'ere:
http://consciousparentingsummit.com/cps/

;)

What is the Conscious Parenting Summit?

We interviewed 16 of the foremost conscious parenting experts in the world...and starting this May 22nd, we will air a different one of these interviews daily, for free, for 16 days.

To learn how to get free access to this entire event, you can click the link below and sign up by putting your email address in the field to the right of the video:

http://consciousparentingsummit.com/cps/


We feel that the main reason why we had such a peaceful birth and why Oria is as healthy and happy as she is, is due to the amazing information shared by the speakers who are appearing in this Summit.

It was Ingrid Bauer’s book that enabled us to understand how to raise Oria "Diaper Free", for example.  It was Laura Shanley’s book that gave us the confidence to do an unassisted birth without any hospitals, midwifes or doulas.  It was Shazzie’s book which gave us the information on getting specific and key nutrients for Oria’s growth such as DHA and choline for brain development.  It was Elena Vladirimova who taught us how to clean up and transmute any dramas from our own birthing experiences.  Naomi Aldort’s book taught us how to communicate and cooperate with our child after she was born, and the list goes on and on.

You can only imagine how excited we were to be able to interview each one of these amazing people :)  In each one of these interviews, we asked the most important questions that we believe you’d love to know the answers to as well.

Below is a list of all of our esteemed speakers, along with the subjects that they are speaking on:



Robin Lim (CNN Hero of the Year 2011)
– Lotus Birthing, Breastfeeding, Bonding

Printed Version of "A Gentle Start" Available Now :)

You asked, we printed ;)

When we released my new ebook, “A Gentle Start” a few weeks ago, y’all flooded us with requests for a *physical* version of the book…sooooooo, our dear warehouse manager Zack got on the case and I’m happy to let you know that we now have a stash of printed copies of this book in stock for y’all to enjoy :)
The printed version has full colour throughout and can be viewed HERE. So many of you mentioned wanting to purchase this book for friends – we hope that this printed version makes this easier for you :)

Here’s a reminder of what the book is all about:

A Gentle Start” is a handbook of conscious parenting choices for new parents. For many, the prospect of parenthood can seem quite overwhelming, with so many new things to consider…let this book help to guide you into conscious choices for a more enjoyable, nourishing and rewarding family experience.

In “A Gentle Start” you can learn about:

*the unexpected bodily changes that pregnancy can bring
*foods/herbs and activities to avoid during pregnancy
*tips for preparing for your best birth
*Oria Berry Monarch’s unassisted home water birth story
*how to successfully Lotus Birth
*things no-one tells you about life post-partum
*guidance for optimal nourishment during pregnancy and breastfeeding
*practical guidance for “attachment parenting” techniques
*tips for raising a “diaper-free”/“Elimination Communication” baby
*shopping lists for eco-friendly/attachment parenting choices

…and here’s what people are already saying about “A Gentle Start”:

It's great! I learned a lot from it and I think it will totally be beneficial for new mamas! I loved it! :) I think that there are so many people that don't know that much about home birth and natural pregnancy and nutrition and all of that...that this would be such a gift... There is so much information from the water/lotus birth, to unassisted birth, to the burping, to the swaddling, to the supplements...it is packed with practical and simple wisdom! :)
Alexandra Jaye Johnson - www.entheos.me

I think the way you write and connect is sooo different. It's like you’re in the room talking to me. It's really gentle and I think the "everyday" woman would be more receptive to the ideas and choices in it because of that :) Such a different energy to most Baby/Parenting Guides, so refreshing!
Donna Marie Watson - www.facebook.com/MotheringLife

I really like your
book. It is a very genuinely written account of your experience. The honesty comes through in the things that might not normally be talked about in the more visceral and personal challenges of pregnancy/birth. For me this is the most useful in reading other women's testimonies - how to face the challenges, keep faith, and rise above. You are able to cover a wide variety of topics in a concise way, which I think will be helpful for a lot of people. All the main points are introduced and then you follow up with a super helpful list of further reading and extra resources. Personally I appreciate the concluding lists of useful/not so useful baby products. I have spent lots of time browsing through them all only to close the website later on because there are so many choices. I've even Googled something to the effect of 'green baby products best list' :)
JS


Just beautiful Angela. It's clear and informative, supports and encourages parents to listen within for their answers and power...while also balancing that with some knowledge from those with passion and experience of the pregnancy and birthing process. It provided me hope, a rather intimidating reality, and a knowledge that I have the strength to see it through. Thank you for sharing YOU!
Alara Wood - raw mother to be one day.



Soooooo, you can get “A Gentle Start” as either an ebook or printed book HERE – enjoy :)))

All love and reverberations of joy, 
A. C. Stokes-Monarch and Oria Berry Monarch. xxx

Raw Pregnancy and Raising Raw Children

Now, don't get excited - I'm not pregnant or having a child anytime soon ;) I just watched a wonderful little YouTube video today of Summer Kolesar speaking with Paul Nison about raising raw children and got inspired... You can see that video HERE. Summer is a beautiful soul si*star* who I had the pleasure to meet when I spoke in Asheville in 2007. If I recall correctly, she was raised ‘semi–wild’ in Canada, foraging the bounties of nature and she is still a wonderful wild–food gatherer to this day, plus all–round gorgeous raw goddess and mother ;)

As you may recall, the current RawReform Giveaway Contest is also about raising children raw (you can see the details for the giveaway HERE to win a signed copy of Shazzie’s latest book, Evie’s Kitchen). We have wonderful suggestions flowing in daily by email about how to best help children eat healthier food...
SO, with all this wonderful info buzzing around, I felt inspired to compile a list of useful resources for those interested in raising children raw. This is actually smthg people ask me about often, although I am not (yet ;) a mother, so I thought it would be helpful to collect all these fabulous resources together in one place, for all to enjoy ;)
(FYI - I also just posted this info to the main RawReform site in the articles section HERE, in case you'd like to refer to it without the food logs etc in the middle ;)

Foods that children seem to LOVE :)
As previously mentioned, I am not yet a mother – from what I’ve observed of raw children however, these seem to be some of their favourite foods:

*fresh fruits
*smoothies – greeeeen or nut–milk based
*nut/seed milks
*raw cakes, pies, cookies, yumballs – anything sweet ;)
*bee pollen
*chia puddings
*raw food snack bars
*grawnolas/cereals
*dried fruits like mulberries, goji berries, incan berries
*freeze–dried fruit – mangosteen, jackfruit, durian

The biggest struggle most raw parents seem to have is getting greeeeens into the little loves...well, here’s sending you all great gushing green smoothie love... ;)

Ok, I listed everything that came to mind here about raising children raw...I hope this is useful to at least some of you ;)
I’m sure there are other wonderful resources out there too – feel free to leave a comment below HERE if there are other links/books etc you’d love to see added to this list :) Also remember that you can see this article HERE for reference without the food logs etc...

ENJOY :)
