My Nonprofit Reviews

At a time when humanity is threatening its -- our own -- existence, the non-linear, highly relational, contextual perspective of Kindred restores my waning hope in our world. The level of breadth and depth and understanding of the complexities of our conscious and unconscious motivations -- so much of it beautifully explained by neuroscience as they regularly do -- is both sobering and inspiring at the same time. I think of what seems like the foresight of Wordsworth when in a prescient line in one of his poems he refers to "Child being father of the man". It has a double relevance today, one is faithful to its time where even that poetic soul ignored the existence of mother or woman! The other when he could not have known what we know now about the plasticity and vulnerability of what shapes our brain and thus any one of our lives being so due to the quality of caring -- or the lack of it - that we received in our first months and years. I am one who is EVER grateful to the Kindred Family’s sensitively holding this sacred space of early development and how our lives...from in utero onward, makes us who we are. As a long time environmental advocate how I welcome their tackling the nature of mothering as we homo-sapiens must acknowledge the toll we are taking on our life-source, Mother Nature! As our collective willingness to face the facts resulting from the patterns of our conditioned behavior, today burning our world...educating ourselves and each other by subscribing to the Kindred family can keep us informed and inspired. I so wish that the wisdom in all of its pages could be regularly and faithfully absorbed and understood by those decision makers in Washington and the White House who govern this country on behalf of ‘we the people’. How different our world could be if our systemic patriarchal policies and politics focused not on endless metrics -- but invested in deepening societal qualities of caring and humanity so fully demonstrated by the essential kindness inherent in the mission of this exceptional nonprofit. Thank you Kindred.
