Kindred World is proud to announce the launch of the Worldview Literacy Project, a self-directed or community learning program exploring rebalancing life on earth with worldview literacy.
The WLP features the Worldview Chart by internationally renown Indigenous studies scholar, Four Arrows, as well as instructions for how to participate in a 90-day engagement with the WorldviewChart ending with a survey to gather participant’s stories and insights.
In addition to the WLP resources and survey for the public, Kindred World has partnered with Veterans For Peace, VFP, to create and distribute the WLP Survey to their members. Kindred World’s nonprofit partnership with VFP is made possible through a grant for the research project from Fielding University.
Kindred World began as a grassroots, consciousness-raising organization of parents and professionals in 1996, twenty-five years into America’s fifty year decline to the bottom of all developed nations' indices for family, maternal, infant, and children's health. Today, Kindred World’s nonprofit mission and vision, of a Wisdom-based, Wellness-informed Society, are more relevant and important than ever.
During the current climate crisis, pandemic, and political upheaval, Kindred World’s quarter century of investigating and sharing a New Story of Our Human Family is a blazed path to wholeness and wellness ready for others to follow. With a consistent dedication to serve, Kindred World's leaders, contributors, volunteers, and community participants have explored the interconnectedness of the posts, podcasts, and interview “categories” you will find on the Kindred Media website.
Over the past 25 years, Kindred World and its nonprofit initiatives have explored this New Story from the ground up, in grassroots’ communities, and from the top down with frontier science researchers, Seekers, Trancebreakers, and New Cycle Makers. This New Story comes with its own language: phrases like Cultural Creatives, Bio-Cultural Conflict, Grounded Expansion, Harmonic Family Resonance, Phronesis, the Evolved Nest, Original Brilliance and the Ecology of the Child, can be found in our New Story Glossary. If we're going to tell a New Story, we will need new language.
What is needed at this time is a safe gathering place, a sanctuary, created with great compassion to inspire and welcome our imaginations to engage in open dialogue, to create connected community, and to identify resources that support an adventurous exploration of thriving.
Welcome to that safe gathering space. Welcome home.

Meet The Wayfinders: Nine Oral Histories Of Successful Breastfeeding Advocacy Barrier-Breakers
Meet the Wayfinders is an oral history collection of empowering, personal stories featuring video interviews with nine professionals, parents, and scientists who found ways around breastfeeding advocacy barriers, or just broke them! The series was created at the invitation of La Leche League International in celebration of their 65th Anniversary Conference held October 15-18, 2021. The series was presented live in October 2021 and viewed on LLLI’s website until April 2022. The collection was presented to the public in celebration of National Breastfeeding Month on August 1, 2022 at www.MeetTheWayfinders.org.
The Meet the Wayfinders Oral History Series includes an overview video, where participants learn the five hallmarks of wayfinder advocacy, as well as view highlights of the nine interviews. Participants also receive a resource guide in PDF form which documents the many references discussed in the collection's nine interviews.
In Meet the Wayfinders, participants discover reasons why cultural change through Traditional Activism is difficult and how the Wayfinders - with a new form of advocacy named Kindred Activism - were successful in breaking, transforming, and maneuvering around barriers in:
All of our presenters address the opportunities awaiting us in our post-pandemic world and how, with an understanding of the hallmarks of successful barrier-breaking, we too, can answer the call to become a wayfinder.
Watch and enjoy the collection at Meet the Wayfinders.
The Meet the Wayfinder Series was presented live at La Leche League International's 65th Conference in October 2021 and viewed until April 2022. You can now watch the entire collection here during August 2022 breastfeeding month celebrations at MeetTheWayfinders.org.

The Old Story of Separation that dominates our culture and conditioning today is entering a natural composting stage... it doesn't work anymore. The New Story of Connection, who we've always been, is emerging in our consciousness and marrow. We are all in the space between these stories, exploring the possibilities, deciding what our new narrative will be...
