When you join the tribe, please tell us where you live (what area of LA), how many kids you have, and their ages! And anything else you feel like adding, that we wouldn't see easily on your Tribe profile!

      I'm 24. I live in Long Beach. My daughter is Fionnuala (fin-oo-la), she is 6 months old. Right now I am still trying to figue out the wole mothering thing. I am having a lot of fun with it though. As my husband puts it...I mother by my gut instincts. I guess this makes me "off the beaten path" since my instincts tell me to nurse whenever and wherever she needs me, to sleep with her and not force her to cry alone in the dark, to let her gnaw on something that I am eating (if it's safe) and not force commercially produced infant cereal down her throat, to make my own diaper wipe solution and use (oh-no) cloth diapers...and a few other things I'll save for another post.

    Live in Santa Monica currently. Sometimes I love it and sometimes (like at the local park), I want to run away screaming. I have two kids, Shaydon (9) and Indigo (2 1/2). I am a homeschooling, full time mama right now. I love it even though it can be just exhausting. I like to think I am fairly conscious, although I learn every day 15 new ways that I could be more conscious.

    Mostly what I want is more connections with more mamas and to bring community into our sometimes isolating and nuclear feeling lives.

    Hi there, My name is Jeneva
    I currently live up in Ojai but i do get down to Santa Monica/Venice area a lot. I have 2 kids. My daughter Snuggie is 13 and my son Zaz is 4. Snuggie is mine on the weekends and Zaz is with me every day. I'm a single mommy so I don't know if I'm going to be able to do the whole home-schooling thing with Zaz. I'm really into breast feeding, nice & healthy organic foods and exposing my kids to music and culture. I love to meet cool mommies who lean to the left like I do.
    I'd love to meet y'all sometime.

    HI Mamas,
    I live in Santa Monica/Venice and have two very energetic boys ages 4 and 5.
    One son is an artist, the other a comedian. But they both have me rolling in laughter daily.
    Stepping way back from a former career to shower my guys with love. I happily stumbled across the tribal world while researching other topics.
    Siobhan, thanks for your welcome.
    I look forward to communicating with other mamas and eventually having my profile full of information and friends.

      Hi .... I live in Redondo Beach and have a 5 month old, Marco. But he was born at 29 weeks and had to spend 11 weeks in the NICU. . I condsider myself an "aware"mom, on the holistic side, but after my experience with a super preemie birth, I have a whole new look at modern medicine. Marco definitely wouldn't have survived without it... so I say now, modern medicine has it's place and I will never ever judge a woman for her birth choices. I consider her lucky to have that choice and to be able to take her baby home.

      So, that's my mom side... my other side is I'm a professional flamenco dancer born and raised in San Francisco with a very wonderful husband from LA.

        Hi, I just moved here from Texas with my hubbie and 2 babies, for now I am a SAHM but with plans to get a job. So far LA is great, so many different peolpe to meet and things to see. Austin is a great town but you can only get so much stimulation after living there my whole life. I love to travel and get to see different cultures and people.

        Hey, niece and auntie! :) That's very cool... keeping it groovy in the family. I have a pretty groovy family myself. :)

        Are either of you planning on coming on Sunday?

        I'd still love if anyone had any better ideas than Will Rogers for picnic/hangout. Will Rogers feels a bit too out of the way, but I can't think of anywhere else!

    HI everyone,
    I just filled out the profile and didn't see this section! I am a stay home mom with a 4 1/2 month old boy, Jude, living in Mar Vista, which is sandwiched between Venice and Santa Monica and Culver City. I would love to hang with some cool, mellow mamas! I am a former fashion editor/stylist, born in Austin, raised in Illinois, and spent 13 years in New York City. I love living by the ocean and being a mama!
    Have a wonderful New Year! alyssa

        Hello, I'm Teresa and I live in Silverlake with my 6 mo. old daughter Zofia and my husband.

        I try to be as holistic as I can with my parenting. We also nurse on demand, cloth diaper, and generally try to stay away from the consumer baby culture. When I'm not being a mom, I'm a singer. I mostly like to sing bluegrass/folk/rock, but I also perform occasionally with a theater group in San Francisco and I'm working on trying to start up some underground theater here in L.A. as well.

          Greetings...My tribename is 9dakinis because a dakini is a tantric priestess of ancient india who carried the souls of the dead to the sky. The dakini is a female being of generally volatile temperament, who acts as a muse for spiritual practice. Dakinis can be likened to elves, angels, or other such supernatural beings, and are symbolically representative of testing one's awareness and adherence to Buddhist tantric sadhana. I practice walking this path. I also have 9 dots on my face, which puts me off the beaten track.

          I live in Hollywood and my daughter is 6. I have been 'consciously parenting' since conception and am in awe of the intimate relationship between mother and daughter, parent and child. I'm once divorced and have remarried an amazing inspiring partner who loves my daughter as his own. We don't have children yet but will someday. For now we're busy being conceptual artists together. By the way, an intriguing school (based on the radical free school Summerhill in England) in culver city called Play Mountain Place is where my daughter attended for 3 years. Although she won't attend next year, I think it's a valuable resource for parenting alternatively.

          Looking forward to participating in this tribe.
