My Nonprofit Reviews

I have learned about Kindred because they are integrating indigenous wisdom an knowlege and modern psychological insights, which I am also striving to do. The informations and materials and network contacts they offer on their platform, icluding films, articles, live discussions, exercises and materials for self development and for teaching are amazing: Wholistic, beautiful and always of highest standards. Learning and personal development becomes joyful like this. And - very important: They start right from the beginning of human development - integrating our very beginnings and history as a species and healthy development for our babies, children and inner children, who are the carriers of the seeds of a healty, preaceful, happy future for all life forms on our wondereful planet. And at least equally important: Their approach offers a positive, life sustaining vision which is so much needed in our troubled times of profound multiple crisis and challenging inevitable changes.

I follow the Work of Dacia Narvaez - her books, the beautiful films on Youtube (Breaking The Cycle, Reimagining Huanity and The Evolved Nest) and the acitvities of the Kindred World platform for more than a year now. I increasingly realize and appreciate the multifacetted offers on this platform. I become more and more aware of the importance of understanding what human children need for a healthy development of all their capacities - including a healthy heart and mind and the fundaments for positive connectedness with "All Our Relations" on our beautiful Mother Earth.
My education in developmental psychology gave a few hints of what different ages requiere. But I painfully remember presentations of "scientific studies" and experiments, psychologists used to "prove" that little Monkey's desperately hold on to whatever is offerd to them, when ripped off ther mothers...
Drawing conclusions that physical contact might also be important for human children....
What does this express and "prove" about clinical psychology and psychologists of those day's and of our modern times?!... In our ancestral natural times of human development knowlege about healthy nurturing was passed on by wise women within native communities. In our "modern" days, where this knowlege was forgotten and replaced by lots of dehumanizing "new insights" we do need to remember the nessesary components of an "Evolved Nest" for Human Children again. As well as for our "Inner Children" and Grown Up's, who need to nest themselfes regularly as well. Understandig the components and the effects of what children need and/or miss, when they are raised, helps me dealing with my "grown up" klients as well. Almost all of them missed so much. Now they need "reparenting" as a part of their healing process. The last live-discussion, offered by Darcia in october 2023, also made me aware of something that is more urgent than ever:
We should reflect what we choose to make ourselfes "feel safe" very carefully.
Thank heavans there are lots of far better choices than hiding behind threats and weapons.

I love this website and the newsletters with all the helpful, positive and ispiring ressources of psychlogical information. A collection of healing treasures which I am grateful to be offerd even for free!
I very much appreciate the exercises offered with the Nature Day cards and Self Calming cards which help me to reconnect to positive energies and a positive more connected and ralaxed state of being: In a playful way and easily to be shared and practised together with others.
Our conection to nature and a positive mindset is so important to remember and practise dayly. Always and even more now in times of multiple dayly exhausting challenges.
I wish you all the best, with love and gratitude, Patricia
