We're a group of parents in the downtown and greater Portland, OR area that meet regularly to discuss how to improve our parenting and gentle guidance skills. Many of these parents followed an Attachment Parenting philosophy with their babies and toddlers, but have since outgrown many of those techniques. We have a great group of people that support each other without judgement. The meetings are casual. One person leads a discussion topic, and then we get into more specifics about what's going on at home.

We meet the first Thursday of the month at the Bipartisan Cafe from 6:30pm to 8:30pm without children (in arms babes, welcome, of course). Bipartisan Cafe's address is:

7901 SE Stark St
Portland, OR 97215
(503) 253-1051
