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...
Through two decades of nonprofit work and dedication to the wellbeing of our human family, Kindred has gathered frontier science, progressive research, brave thought leaders, social change artists, parent activists and visionary storytellers to our virtual campfire at Kindred Media.

Breaking the Cycle: Reclaiming Our Humanity with the Evolved Nest
Kindred World is proud to launch The Evolved Nest’s educational short film, Breaking the Cycle. The moving and inspirational six-minute film illustrates our capacity for breaking our current Cycle of Competitive Detachmentand returning to the pattern of 95% of our human history: a healthy, peaceful Cycle of Cooperative Companionship. Breaking the Cycle is based on the multi-award-winning book, Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture and Wisdom, by Darcia Narvaez, PhD.
Breaking the Cycle contrasts the two basic ways societies can function: the optimal approach, which most human societies through time have followed, is the Cycle of Cooperative Companionship where children’s basic needs are met; they grow into well-functioning, cooperative community members (from neurobiology and on up); and as healthy adults, they maintain the cooperative system. Currently in the USA the opposite pattern is in place: children’s basic needs are not met, illbeing and dysregulation ensue, creating adults who are detached and distracted and keep this Cycle of Competitive Detachment going. The United Nations ranks the USA as 41st out of 41 developed countries for child and adult wellness.

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.
