Dear Kindred,

Click on the image above to go to this month’s issue of Kindred.

Thank you for sharing your uplifting Statements of Impact on our Great Nonprofit page this fall! As a vision-holder for cultural transformation, Kindred World’s success as a change making organization is dependent upon our supporters “getting” the meta view, the enormity of the challenges we’re faced with as a human family. In effect, we’re building the airplane while we’re flying it.

Twenty-five years ago, in the middle of America’s 50 year fall to the bottom of all international indices for health and wellness, Kindred World’s founders decided to focus our nonprofit work upstream. (See our timeline here.) While most nonprofits are creating impact statements based on short-term, downstream goals, our vision of a Wisdome-based, Wellness-informed Society means we are dependent upon you – Trance-Breakers,Wayfinders, New Cycle Makers, Cultural Creatives, and Imaginal Cells – to share your Statements of Impact with us.

This year, you told us in monthly live calls, emails, posts in Kindred Community, and on our Great Nonprofit page that you see, hear, appreciate, and utilize our work in your own transformational work in your homes, schools, universities, and churches. You also told us how much you appreciate that our materials and events are free to use and share. We hope to continue for another 25 years, and with your financial support, we will.

With our upstream vision in mind, please consider supporting our work on Giving Tuesday. If you do, we will send you a beautifully created collection of Darcia Narvaez’s essays on Kinship Worldview and Indigenous Wisdom in PDF form.

Thank you for your companionship on our long, upstream journey together. We look forward to seeing you in the coming year in our live gatherings and forthcoming virtual classroom programs. In the meantime, enjoy this fall’s highlights in November’s newsletter here, carefully curated to support our Interbeing and Interconnection as we plan another year of reimagining humanity.

Warmly,

Lisa Reagan

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 create a Wisdom-based, Wellness-informed Society has led to the founding of multiple inspired nonprofit initiatives and 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.

Integrating a quarter century of cultural transformation insights into grounded Wayfinder Wisdom, Lisa currently shepherds Kindred World in carrying out its ongoing nonprofit work through multiple initiatives and partner collaborations, including:

The Evolved Nest, a virtual learning center featuring the award-winning science and research of Darcia Narvaez, PhD. Lisa and Darcia collaborate on the creation of virtual educational outreach projects of the Evolved Nest, including the short film, Breaking the Cycle, Mighty Networks discussion groups, as well as monthly live discussions. Darcia Narvaez is ranked among the top two percent of scientists worldwide. Her research into humanity’s Evolved Nest reveals our “evolutionary pathway to wellbeing”. Darcia currently serves as Kindred World’s president.

Kindred Media is an alternative media platform championing a New Story of the Human Family. Lisa serves as Kindred’s executive editor, working with contributors to create podcasts, interviews, special feature series, and the expansion of Kindred’s New Story Glossary (because a new story needs new language). Kindred’s innovative media platform allows the many Kindred World initiatives and partner collaborations to interact and integrate personal stories, shifting worldviews, and cultural transformation victories. Our challenge, to bring visibility and coherence to cultural transformation, is achieved through Kindred Media’s holistic storytelling strategies.

The Meet the Wayfinders Oral History Series was produced at the request of La Leche League International for their 65th Conference in 2021. This series integrates both Kindred’s many years of tracking unheralded victories of cultural transformation as well as introducing the concept of Kindred Activism, which explores both how the activists were successful in their quests and how their wayfinder advocacy can be duplicated.

Lisa continues to steward Kindred World’s original vision of a Wisdom-based, Wellness-informed Society as the award-winning nonprofit serves an international following, expands collaborations with partners, and welcomes new volunteers and board members.
