This group is dedicated to taking beautiful pictures of the natural world or including natural elements. Ever since I received my first camera at age 7, photographing nature was always my primary artistic passion. And ever since I joined the digital revolution a few years ago with the purchase of my first DSLR I have been working to build up a portfolio of images of nature. Now I would like to get together with other photographers with the same passion. I'd also love to share my knowledge and ex …

I decided to start this group because there are many Mom groups, but I could not find a local eco-conscious, granola, "natural" group. I am in Huntington Beach. I have a new baby and we like to walk. We have some friends we walk with, mostly at Huntington Beach Central Library. It feels great to get out and get some exercise and fresh air. It is also wonderful to discuss new Mommyhood with like-minded gals! Anyone who is a new Mom should feel free to join. Those who are into walking, baby wearin …

Earth based spirituality is about primal, deep connection.  It's the connection we long for with others and from nature's beauty - trees, plants, and animals.  It's the missing link for many people who've been relying on 'thinking' to seek higher consciousness - either by using thoughts to create more of we want, or by attempting to alter thinking through meditation.  Instead, this group is about nourishing ourselves through nature - plants, animals and other loving humans. Nourishment is what w …
