Toward The New Human
An educational alliance to realign humanity with nature and life.
.
"The children of the twenty-first century will determine the fate of this planet."
-Thomas Berry
🌍 Our Vision: Growing a Kinder Humanity
We envision a global movement—an alliance of people and organizations—who come together to hold sacred space for children and advocate for repurposing education.
Together and separately, we offer empowering experiences that nourish children’s unfolding identities and awaken their natural gifts. Each partner brings their own wisdom, expertise and unique delivery—whether through programs, mentorship, or creative practices—and all partners generously celebrate, support, and uplift one another.
As a result of our collective efforts, children ages 8 to 12 grow up with a profound understanding and acceptance of their human nature—biological, emotional, and spiritual. They are lit from within by wonder and a sense of belonging in the cosmos.
These children walk through life with humility, curiosity, and the courage and commitment to contribute their gifts to the greater good. They empathize deeply, recognizing that every person is a unique and sacred expression of life’s creativity. They practice kindness and compassion. They welcome difference. They transform conflict into connection. They honor the more-than-human world—animals, plants, waters, and skies—as kin.


Our Mission Focus elementary education on human and planetary well-being
We can change the cultural paradigm by changing how we raise and educate children. We can redefine what it means for children to reach full maturity. We can advocate for education that prepares children to value connections and the sacredness of organisms.
We can raise radically responsible humans enabled to give care to their own well-being, other's well-being and to Earth's planetary flourishing.
Earth doesn't need standardized humans. It needs uniquely endowed, self-aware, ecologically identified, ethical participants equipped with relationship skills.
We can raise children who understand that humanity's role in the Universe is to be wise caregivers of the entire "Life Project on Earth." Earth needs mature humans who act courageously to prioritize the mutual flourishing of humanity and planetary biodiversity (and its ecosystems.)

🌱 What We Are Building
We intend to create a worldwide interdisciplinary collaboration to support educators, teachers, caregivers, youth workers, parents, grandparents, camp counselors, mentors, and visionaries—anyone devoted to raising a new generation of conscious, kind, connected, and courageous young humans.
Together, we are intentionally and ethically shaping the future of human consciousness.
We design, deliver, and share experiential, interactive education that reorients children—and the adults around them—toward what truly matters: Care for life, Truth and empathy in relationships, and Joyful service to the whole.
Our programs will be available to schools, homeschoolers, village communities, and online learners around the world. We will also offer re-training for educators, administrators, and families—because children thrive best in environments of love and alignment.


Areas of curriculum content for ages 8-12
What we teach matters. Our educational focus:
Cosmic Belonging – A living story of the evolving Universe, where humans are not separate but part of life’s unfolding purpose. Mature humans are agents of evolution, and cherish all life.
Emotional Intelligence & Nonviolent Communication – The art of listening to feelings and needs, speaking truth with care, striving for connection, minimizing harm and building compassion in every relationship.
Embodiment & Ecology – Wisdom of the body and its kinship with all Earthlings. The brain rewires. The heart attunes. The body heals. Caring for others and the planet is caring for oneself.
Trauma Awareness & Healing – Understanding how early pain and attachments innocently shape us, and how awareness, regulation, and kindness bring renewal. Accepting and celebrating our humanity.
Identity as Choice – The freedom to choose who we become—not limited by inherited family and cultural scripts, but guided by an array of archetypes and visions of justice, joy, and interconnection.
Relational Fluency – The skills to build lasting relationships and collaborative communities: consent, boundaries, feedback, apologies, and mutual respect.
Generating an inclusive social system and restoring the planet’s ecosystems will require collective will and action. We need to be skilled in working together peacefully and honoring differences.

WHY
Theologian Thomas Berry advised that our species needs to reimagine what it means to be a mature human. What is our human identity? What is the role of our species in the cosmos? Human behaviors will be a major determining factor for which other species will continue forward on planet Earth into the future. Our lamentable sense of separation from the natural world has resulted in a generalized and unquestioned belief in human supremacy over it. Coupled with heightened individualism and lack of emotional maturity, humans seem blinded to the irreversible harm and self-annihilation that we are so irrationally perpetuating. Berry said we need to change the identity of the human at the species level. This movement intends to raise the new humans.
Our educational experiences will reduce the sources of trauma to kids, and empower them to heal and solve problems in communal ways that cause the least harm and the most good. Before reaching adulthood, our children would know how to establish secure relationships and lasting partnerships that facilitate their own and others' growth and each others unique contributions to the future flourishing of life on Earth. They would be clear about the purpose and the meaning of their lives. They would be recognized as servant leaders. They would delight in their creativity.
"We who have lived through the 20th century should realize our responsibility for the challenges that will confront the children entering the 21st century. Our responsibility for the damage done to Earth demands that in these opening years of the new century we give all possible aid to preparing our children for the challenge before them." Thomas Berry
