Eckart Tolle on Conscious Parenting:
"As you look at, listen to, touch, or help your child with this or that, you are alert, still, completely present, not wanting anything other than that moment as it is. In this present, you are not a father or mother. You are the alertness, the stillness, the Presence that is listening, looking, touching, even speaking. You are the Being behind the doing."
-- Excerpted from A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, a #1 Title From Oprah's Book Club

See Jenny McCarthy On Larry King Live!
Describing what happened to her son, who suffered convulsions and nearly died after a round of vaccinations and then regressed into autism, Jenny was accompanied by her pediatrician, Jay Gordon, M.D., and journalist David Kirby in a face-off with AAP pediatricians Harvey Karp, M.D. and David Tayloe, Jr. M.D.. It was a ground- breaking television debate about vaccine risks that highlighted the soft underbelly of a medical community unwilling to deal with the reality that regressive autism is part of the vaccine injury spectrum. Visit NVIC for more on this issue.
FCL members can join the free tele-conference on April 17, Thursday, 1 p.m. with pediatrician, Dr. Larry Palevsky, to discuss your vaccine questions. Dr. Palevsky is the co-founder and president of the Holistic Pediatric Association. For access codes to the tele-conference and to sign-up to join, email info@familiesforconsciousliving.org.

What Is An FCL Community Group?
Somewhere there are people to whom we can speak
with passion without having the words catch in our throats.
Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes
will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us
whenever we come into our own power.
Community means strength that joins our strength to
do the work that needs to be done.
Arms to hold us when we falter.
A circle of healings. A circle of friends.
Someplace where we can be free.
