Mission: Pseads (“seeds”) is an educational nonprofit bringing people together across distance, age and discipline to use science, story, design, and poetry to awaken our deepest understanding of what it means to be a human being, and to transform notions of identity in ways that create the conditions for connection, confidence, creativity, contribution, and lasting social change. Pseads programs and projects are designed to inspire positive visions, and to enliven experiences of learning in ways that open unseen possibilities and pathways for innovation, and establish an undeniable, and inwardly-discovered, foundation for ecological and social justice, hope and health.
