About online groups

Most of our on-line groups used Zoom to meet. New to Zoom? Learn about joining Zoom meetings by watching this video.

Time Zones

All times listed are Eastern Time in the US. If you aren’t sure how your time zone lines up with Eastern Time in the US, you may CLICK HERE and look for the time in Boston, Massachusetts or other east coast US-based cities. Please keep in mind that if you are on the other side of the globe from us, the group may meet on a different day for you.

Other online support groups

We also have included links at the bottom of this page to other groups and organizations offering on-line support.

Accuracy

We are doing our best to keep this up-to-date and accurate, but you may occasionally find a typo or something that just recently changed, and hasn’t been updated yet. If you’re having difficulty or are confused about the time, date, or access for any group we’ve listed, please e-mail us at info@wildfloweralliance.org.

Health & Wellness Oriented Groups


Other Sources of Online or Phone Support

Please note that our listing other organizations as a source for additional on-line groups does NOT mean we are necessarily familiar with the organization or the quality of their groups. We have no control over the content or quality of groups that we do not facilitate. If you have concerns with the quality or content of another organization’s groups, please e-mail them directly.

We used to incorporate specific groups operated by other organizations into a fuller listing on our site, but found the groups were changing so rapidly that we couldn’t keep up with all the changes. We understand that many really valued that fuller listing, but it felt harmful to continue to offer that level of detail when it meant that people were too often trying to join groups that no longer existed.
