Dear Kindred,
What to do during the holiday break, and as our world braces for possibly the most pivotal year in human history? Let’s reimagine our world in less than 30 minutes with the Evolved Nest’s short film collection. See the film descriptions below (in the newsletter and here) and follow the links to watch them. Then register to join our live discussion with Darcia Narvaez on January 9 at 12 p.m. ET.
Below (and in the newsletter) you will find highlights from 2023, dates for live discussions, and new resources introduced this year. Don’t forget to join us on our dedicated platform at www.KindredCommunity.org.
We’ve created and shared many resources with you this year, and connected you with worldview-shifting, consciousness-raising Wayfinders, New Cycle Makers, and Trancebreakers. You’ve told us in our Great Nonprofit Reviews how much you rely on and appreciate our work, and that our events and materials are free of charge.
Please help us keep our materials coming in another banner year. With our upstream vision of a Wisdom-based, Wellness-informed Society in mind, please consider supporting our work with your year-end annual or monthly donation. If you do, we will send you a beautifully created collection of Darcia’s essays, Moving Towards Kinship Worldview and Wisdom in PDF form (see more here).
Thank you for your companionship on our 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 year’s highlights below, carefully curated to support our Interbeing and Interconnection as we plan another year of reimagining humanity.
Warmly,

MORE ABOUT THE FILM COLLECTION
What do to during the holiday break, and ask our world braces for a pivotal year in human history? Let’s reimagine our world in less than 30 minutes with the Evolved Nest’s short film collection:
Breaking the Cycle illustrates our capacity for breaking our current Cycle of Competitive Detachment and 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, Wisdom.
The Evolved Nest: Nature’s Way of Raising Children is the second short film in a series that includes Reimagining Humanity and Breaking the Cycle. This short film in an accompaniment to the acclaimed book, The Evolved Nest, by Darcia Narvaez and G.A. Bradshaw. Read the foreword to the book by Gabor Maté, MD, here, and the first chapter of the book, here. Both are exclusively found on Kindred.
The goal of Reimagining Humanity is to expand human imagination, based in deep history and transdisciplinary science, about human potential. We have not always been so stressed, disconnected and mindlessly destructive. For most of our species existence we have lived in cooperative companionship. The film illustrates what this looks like.
