Hosted by Ann Douglas

Cost: $149 for the full six months

Eager to take a deep dive into all things parenting while tapping into support from “the village”? This is your opportunity to be part of a small, intimate group of parents who will be embarking on a shared journey of discovery over a six-month period. (Why six months? It takes time for trust to emerge and for people to feel safe enough to truly connect with one another. In “The Village,” we’re going to take that time.)

How things will work: Our conversations will be taking place in a private discussion area on a state-of-the-art community platform. This will allows us to do our thinking and learning in an environment of mutual support and encouragement, away from the noise and distraction of social media. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in monthly live chats and small-group video/audio calls with Ann Douglas.

Ready to learn and grow alongside your fellow villagers? Just fill out this form to let Ann know why you’d like to be part of this group. Once your application has been reviewed and accepted (please give Ann a couple of days to review it: hey, it’s a busy time of year!), she’ll be back in touch with details about payment and to tell you everything you need to know to get yourself up and running before we officially launch on October 1.

NOTE: Registration is now closed. Please sign up for Ann’s parenting courses and communities newsletter to be notified when this community is open for registration again.
