1.1. The Hollow Tree and the Thread of Ache

For every child who listens to the wind, and every parent who carries the lantern of grace...

Hello, I’m Jaylee, founding curator of the Skyseed Community, mother of two sensitive and resilient grown children, poetess of fairytale and rhyme, and a retired early years mentor who has carried her childhood dreams into living maturity. My heart’s work is to support parents and caregivers in meeting the challenges of today’s world with emotional stewardship, and grace.
It is a dream of mine to shape a living curriculum of emotional inquiry; a gentle framework of nursery songs and fairytale narrations to nurture belonging in children and rekindle the lantern light within us all. May your own stories drift far & dream deep. Thank you for walking beside me as I take my first steps.
