Join us for a special Zoom conversation August 11th with Dr. Darcia Narvaez and Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows), co-editors of the book, Restoring the Kinship Worldview: 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Mother Earth. This book was selected as one of “the most thought-provoking, inspiring, and practical science books of 2022” by U.C. Berkeley’s Science Center for the Greater Good.

In this interactive session, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Deepen your understanding of how the Indigenous worldview contrasts with the dominant modern worldview

  • Learn practical ways to integrate Indigenous wisdom teachings like interconnectedness, responsibility to nature, and the power of emotions into your daily lives

  • Ask Darcia and Four Arrows your burning questions about this transformative approach to living and how to share it with others

Whether you’re already deeply steeped in Indigenous wisdom or simply curious about a different worldview, this conversation is for you!

Prior to the event, you may want to explore the Worldview Chart comparing dominant and indigenous worldview manifestations and read this Greater Good Magazine Interview with the authors.

Featuring

  • Darcia Narvaez

    Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame. She is the founder of the public and professional educational outreach project The Evolved Nest Initiative whose nonprofit mission is to share her science research into developing appropriate baselines for lifelong human wellness by meeting the biological needs of infants. This wellbeing baseline is imperative at this time as the United States ranks 41st out of 41 developed countries in public policies that support families.

    In 2022, Narvaez was elected a fellow to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the largest international body of professional scientists in the world and publisher of the prestigious journal Science. Narvaez was honored for her distinguished contributions illuminating typical and atypical development in terms of well-being, morality and sustainable wisdom.

    She is the author of the books The Evolved Nest; Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture, and Wisdom; and Restoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet Earth, co-authored with Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows).
