    Normalizing Nurturing: An Interview with Authors of Attached at the Heart

    “Our book encourages the nurturing care and emotional connections necessary to build strong, resilient brains for optimal mental and emotional health. It’s revolutionary because the information in this book isn’t found in most parenting books. It counters popular parenting advice in order to empower parents to listen to their babies and young children. These early years are critical to the development of trust and empathy, the necessary ingredients for developing a secure attachment,” said co-author Barbara Nicholson, MEd, CEIM.

    Attached at the Heart is endorsed by parenting experts, pediatricians and luminary moms such as Alanis Morissette and Mayim Bialik, PhD.

    “When we co-founded Attachment Parenting International, now known as Nurturings, nearly 30 years ago, we knew that new parents needed evidence-informed education and practical information about how best to nurture their babies. That’s how Attached at the Heart came about – as a guidebook for new parents to help them lean into their caregiving instincts and set their children up for success,” said co-author Lysa Parker, MS, CFLE, CEIM.

    Attached at the Heart has been a key resource for the attachment parenting movement, encouraging parents to trust their instincts and provide responsive care for their children.

    “Research has proven that early nurturing experiences transform lives. The Eight Principles of Parenting that are detailed in our book are supported by research and rooted in attachment theory. Attached at the Heart provides science and evidence-backed recommendations to guide new parents in their loving journey,” said Nicholson.

    The 3rd edition provides new recommendations regarding infant sleep, how to help children and their parents maintain a secure attachment, and how parents can learn to be more emotionally self-aware in order to teach their children emotional regulation strategies.

    Our “Science-Fictiony” Worldview Lens: An Interview With Marilyn Schlitz, PhD

    Our “Science-Fictiony” Worldview Lens: An Interview With Marilyn Schlitz, PhD

    Read the transcript and find resources mentioned in the interview here: https://www.kindredmedia.org/2022/07/our-science-fictiony-worldview-lens-do-we-ever-know-what-is-happening-an-interview-with-marilyn-schlitz-phd/

    When it appears that everything is wrong with the world, we know we’re dealing with a worldview issue. Science shows us our worldview creates our world, but what creates our worldview?

    Welcome to Kindred. This is Lisa Reagan and today I am talking with Marilyn Schlitz, the social scientist and field-based researcher of human consciousness who will answer the questions, what is our worldview, how is it formed, and what does science show us about how to shift our worldview.

    Kindred World’s nonprofit work and vision of a wisdom-based, wellness-informed society has been supported by the Worldview Literacy facilitator training I received from Marilyn at the Institute of noetic sciences over a decade ago. I will include links below the podcast to resources for this program’s training, as well as the Kindred resources for our ongoing work with Four Arrows and Kindred World’s president, Darcia Narvaez, on Indigenous Worldview and Restoring the Kinship Worldview.

    Restoring the Kinship Worldview: A Discussion with Authors Four Arrows and Darcia Narvaez

    Restoring the Kinship Worldview: A Discussion with Authors Four Arrows and Darcia Narvaez

    Four Arrows and Darcia Narvaez discuss their new book, Restoring the Kinship Worldview. Learn more about worldview and discover Four Arrows' Indigenous Worldview Chart on Kindred here: https://www.kindredmedia.org/glossary/indigenous-worldview/

    The book features selected speeches from Indigenous leaders around the world--necessary wisdom for our times, nourishment for our collective, and a path away from extinction toward a sustainable, interconnected future.

    Indigenous worldviews, and the knowledge they confer, are critical for human survival and the wellbeing of future generations. Editors Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez present 28 powerful excerpted passages from Indigenous leaders, including Mourning Dove, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Winona LaDuke, and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. Accompanied by the editors’ own analyses, each chapter reflects the wisdom of Indigenous worldview precepts like:


    • Egalitarian rule versus hierarchical governance

    • A fearless trust in the universe, instead of a fear-based culture

    • The life-sustaining role of ceremony

    • Emphasizing generosity and the greater good instead of pursuing selfish goals and for personal gain

    • The laws of nature as the highest rules for living

    The editors emphasize our deep need to move away from the dominant Western paradigm--one that dictates we live without strong social purpose, fails to honor the earth as sacred, leads with the head while ignoring the heart, and places individual “rights” over collective responsibility. Restoring the Kinship Worldview is rooted in an Indigenous vision and strong social purpose that sees all life forms as sacred and sentient--that honors the wisdom of the heart, and grants equal standing to rights and responsibilities.

    Inviting readers into a world-sense that expands beyond perceiving and conceiving to experiencing and being, Restoring the Kinship Worldview is a salve for our times, a nourishment for our collective, and a holistic orientation that will lead us away from extinction toward an integrated, sustainable future.

    Seven Life Initiations For Human Transformation: And How To Reclaim Them, with Isa Gucciardi, PhD

    Seven Life Initiations For Human Transformation: And How To Reclaim Them, with Isa Gucciardi, PhD

    Kindred’s editor, Lisa Reagan, talks with Isa Gucciardi, PhD, about the seven life initiations needed to move into our full state of wholeness and our full potential for thriving – and what happens when these initiations are broken, interrupted, or culturally unacknowledged. Isa shares her considerable insight into how we are thwarted from completing our seven initiations, and how we can reclaim, and even heal, our innate paths to flourishing.

    LINK TO POST: www.kindredmedia.org/2022/02/seven-…-reclaim-them/

    Editor’s Note: Below are the seven initiations excerpted from Chapter 4: The Seven Initiatory Stages, from Isa’s book, The New Return to the Great Mother. This excerpt is edited for brevity. The complete chapter includes stories from women Isa has worked with over many years as they travel through each stage. We hope you will purchase and enjoy these rich, intimate stories.

    New Study: Evolved Nest Experience Buffers ACEs/Childhood Trauma

    New Study: Evolved Nest Experience Buffers ACEs/Childhood Trauma

    Darcia Narvaez and Mary Tarsha discuss their studies recent findings in this podcast.

    “This is a game changer. It points to the fact that it is not enough to be trauma-informed. We must also provide for children’s basic needs, which our evolved nest does by its very nature. Cultures that are not attending to wellness-informed practices are not optimizing human potential, something sorely needed as we face numerous culture-caused crises.”

    – Darcia Narvaez, PhD

    KEY POINTS
    - Adversity in childhood is associated with poor physiologic regulation, seen in measures of vagal tone.
    - A system of socially supportive childraising known as the evolved nest is associated with healthy vagal tone.
