What if everything we thought we knew or believed to be true turned out to be a story, a tale passed down from parent to child through daily informal habits to ceremonial traditions designed to help us understand our world?

What if the chaos we are witnessing in the world today is a symptom, evidence even, of our collective Old Story - the belief in our separateness - breaking down?

 Would our fears be lessened and our curiosity piqued if we made a conscious choice to turn our attention toward an emerging New Story? Could an expanding sense of wonder allow room for questions like: 

What if babies are conscious? What if sustainability begins with conception? What if Womb Ecology Becomes World Ecology?  What if Worldviews Create Worlds?

When we consider the way we make sense of our lives has always been through stories, other questions arise, like:

 Who wrote these stories? Can they be changed? What steps can we take toward shifting our current, industrial story of humanity to a life-affirming and empowering narrative, authored by, well, US (humans, not corporations).    

Our daily choices and habits are informed by the context, the Big Picture, whether we are aware we even hold a worldview, a personal mythology or a story of our own being and becoming. 

For over 20 years, Kindred and its initiatives have been exploring this New Story from the ground up, in grassroot's communities, and from the top down, with frontier science researchers and social changemakers.  Kindred’s nonprofit work has been led by diverse and brave humans who have sought out insight and solutions to shifting their own awareness from the limits of the Old Story to the practical wisdom for conscious living emerging from a New Story.  

This New Story comes with its own language, phrases like Cultural Creatives, Grounded Expansion, Mindful Parenting, and the Ecology of the Child. You can see our collection of New Story language at Kindred here.

What is needed at this time is a gathering place, a sanctuary, created with great compassion and willingness to call upon our imaginations, to engage in open dialogue, to create community and to identify resources that support an adventurous exploration of holistic, peaceful and sustainable living.  

Below are the educational and outreach initiatives Kindred World has created to meet these needs for ourselves and our children. Please support our work with your tax-deductible donations. And thank you for believing...
