Discover the new short film, Reimagining Humanity, the sequel to Breaking the Cycle, and its goal to help us employ our rational imaginations and ancestral wisdom to remember who we really are, and who we can truly become. Visit the website to see the film and discover resources for community engagement: www.ReimaginingHumanity.com.

In this discussion, Darcia Narvaez and Lisa Reagan discussion how the short film draws on our ongoing nonprofit vision-holding of a Wisdom-based, Wellness-informed Society. Listen to Darcia share: 

Why do we need a movie like RH?

People are immersed in images and stories about how.
Humans are naturally selfish and violent, cruel and hostile.
It’s just the way we are.
Things were so much worse in the past.
If you think the past was better, you are a romantic.
There is nothing you can do differently.
So, be competitive and get yours.
Don’t care too much about anyone else.
This is the cycle of competitive detachment.

We feel stuck. 

How do we pull ourselves away from the glue of this view? 

You need three things.

First, to change behavior, you need to have a goal, a vision of how things can be, to motivate change. RH provides this vision. Things don’t have to be the way they are, in fact they’ve hardly ever been this way.

Second, you need specific direction, that’s the Indigenous worldview and its manifestations.
We can all assess our worldview practices and move them towards kinship with one another and the rest of the natural world. Again 99% of humanity manifested the Indigenous worldview.

Third, to accomplish the vision, you need steps: the evolved nest.
We can all practice nestedness in every aspect of our lives—listening to Nature, respecting the needs of babies, gently receiving others’ perspectives, playing joyfully with one another, healing and grieving together.

The overall message of RH is that our ancestors knew how to live well and fully with diversity, in oneness. We can do so too.

Darcia Narvaez, professor of psychology and director, Collaboration for Ethical Education, University of Notre Dame, spoke at Santa Clara University on March 12th about conscience and the classroom. The focus was on an approach called "The Common Morality Model," for integrative ethical education. Highlights included:

    Qualifications of those with "ethical expertise"
    Ethical sensitivity skills for students
    Establishing caring relationships with students and a caring classroom community
    Teaching through the apprenticeship approach
    Self-monitoring of ethical skills development

The presentation was part of "The Project on Conscience in Roman Catholic Thought," a series of talks exploring inner morals in the face of contemporary challenges, sponsored by The Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and funded in part through the generosity of Phyllis and Mike Shea.

Interview with Darcia Narvaez - Evolutionary Parenting

The Evolved Nest is a breakthrough concept that integrates findings across fields that bear on child development, child raising and adult behavior.  The Evolved Nest promotes optimal health and wellbeing, cooperation, and receptive and sociomoral intelligences. Societal moves away from providing the Evolved Nest have contributed to the ill being and dysregulation we see in one another and society. Learn how to nest your children and re-nest yourself.
