Read Lisa's Meet the Founder and Kindred World's Origin Story here.

Introduced as a “force of nature” by Cassandra Vieten, IONS president, at the first Mindful Motherhood Conference in NYC in 2011, Lisa Reagan’s passionate dedication to empower American activists, professionals, and families to envision and Welcome a Wisdom-based, Wellness-informed World has led to the founding of multiple inspired nonprofit initiativesand collaborations since her transformative motherhood initiation in 1997.

Lisa’s Mother (of a) Quest began with co-founding a grassroots organization of Wayfinders, Trance-breakers, and New Cycle Makers fiercely intent on protecting American’s children with educational initiatives to counter the country’s freefall to the bottom of all developed nations’ wellness indicators. Today, Kindred World is an award-winning nonprofit whose vision and mission are more relevant and critical than ever. (Read Kindred World’s Great Nonprofits’ reviews here.)

Lisa currently serves as the editor for Kindred Magazine, Co-founder of the Evolved Nest Initiative, Co-Creator of the Breaking the Cycle Film, and publisher-in-training for Kindred World's Publishing House. She is grateful to her companions on her Mother (of a) Quest below for their fearless commitment to our adventure together here at Kindred World. As the founder and major benefactor of Kindred World, Lisa has never received compensation for her volunteer work.

Monographs Free and Easy Wandering: Markings On The Way and DreamMaking: The Intimacy of Picture/Reality, and a retrospective The Someone In Painting/A Picture: paintings, drawings, and reflections on nonduality, attest to the time of impeding [self-affirmation] in the painting experience.  

I work in a push-and-pull way with the pure subjectivity of the unfolding and enfolding temporal whole to paint a picture of natural completion.
