My Nonprofit Reviews

Kindred World is a nonprofit focused on restoring balance to the human psyche, sustainability to our world, and interconnectedness to our relationships with Earth Community. With tireless work in publishing, films, advocacy, teaching and other brilliant initiatives, Darcia Narvaez, Lisa Reagan and the entire Kindred World team are focused on the goal of shifting the paradigm in our era of massive change. Narvaez's groundbreaking research - both independent and collaborative - offers a template to healing and restoring the "whole human," and promotes the role of Indigenous Knowledge as our best way forward to a viable future. The Kindred World mycelium network of education and support is ever-expanding, and I count myself fortunate to be part of it!

In today’s era of polycrisis, climate disaster and massive change, it is essential that we shift the paradigm, and return to worldviews and practices that form deep connections to each other and Earth Community. Kindred World is emerging as a compassionate and inspiring leader in the exciting movement to embrace ancestral wisdom, and replace colonial structures with peaceful, sustainable earth-emergent societies. The most important goal is to change our “normalized” behaviors of competition to cooperation (from the “me” to the “we”), break the cycles of alienation and trauma, and create healthy, kinship-based individuals, families and communities. To this end, Kindred World promotes and teaches a wide range of transformative practices such as wellness-informed baby care, conscious parenting, collective caregiving, evolved nest living, new ethics, policies for organizations, rites of passage, eco-attachment, bonding to the land, and replacing western thinking with time-tested Indigenous worldviews. The knowledge held by both Darcia Narvaez and Lisa Reagan is astounding, and their dedication to the “New Story” profound. I am absolutely thrilled to have discovered their work, and I look forward to incorporating the Kindred World/Evolved Nest practices into my own life, and sharing far and wide with others.
