Parenting Groups; a Spiritual Community

Welcome to the rapidly expanding Spiritual Parenting Community!

Since “10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting” was published in 1998, groups of parents have been casually forming to discuss the principles and support each other in parenting in this way. As Mimi Doe leads workshops and gives talks on the 10 Principles even more interest is generated amongst participants to extend the momentum of her message and continue gathering with like-minded parents.

Subscribers to Doe’s online broadcast, Spiritual Parenting Thought for the Month, are also eager for real time gatherings to discuss ideas and support one another in trying out the techniques in their own families. There’s nothing like the wisdom, conversation, and support of other parents to sustain and guide us in the most important job we’ll ever have.

In an effort to respond to on-going requests for information and guidance in forming Spiritual Parenting Groups, we have launched this section of the website to help get you up and going with your own group.

You can register your group with us and/or find one to join here.
