The Evolved Nest

Reclaiming indigenous wisdom of nurturing and connected communities.  

The Wellness-Promoting Pathway Starts with the Evolved Nest: Nurturing and Connected Communities

“The dominant culture is spinning in a cycle of competitive detachment, undermining the health and wellbeing of humans and non-humans, cultivating fear-based states and traits. Forgotten is our millions-year-old heritage, the cycle of cooperative companionship, that begins by meeting basic needs through the Evolved Nest, cultivating love-based states and traits. This is our species-normal starting point for a lifecourse of biological, psychological social, moral, and spiritual wellbeing.” Come hear our guest Darcia Narvaez share from her research and initiatives.
