We are lifelong learners, educators & storytellers weaving together authentic human stories to create connection in the classroom.
Why? Without curiosity before judgment, our ability to see one another as unique, whole, beautiful humans starts to tangle.
This leads to knots within and between us. Knots that lead us to treat other humans and our planet in a way that is not kind and compassionate.
Our real life human stories help us untangle these knots and create connection in the classroom.
We believe deeply that every single challenge we face is indeed addressable. If and when we reweave.
REWEAVE THE SOCIAL FABRIC WITH BETTER WORLD ED
Each story we create helps us create deeper connection in the classroom and home through:
WORDLESS VIDEOS about unique humans all over the world. Teach and learn curiosity before judgment at every age.
Lifelong wonder. Deep belonging.
HUMAN STORIES & QUESTIONS from our new friends in the wordless videos. Create connection with empathy, math, literacy & belonging.
Meaningful understanding. Language inclusive.
INTEGRATED LESSON PLANS to create connection in the classroom and home through videos & stories with relevant academics. Activities, art, movement, play & more.
Compassion conversations to reweave the social fabric of community.
Real life human stories to help us grow our awareness, curiosity, empathy, and compassion to create connection in the classroom and home.
Creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and compassion.
For LIFE. Early Childhood, K-12 & Adults.

WATCH EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS REWEAVE THE SOCIAL FABRIC OF COMMUNITY
Let’s reweave the social fabric of humanity.
Let’s weave humanity into classroom teaching and learning.
Let’s create connection in the classroom.
To create connection in the classroom, understanding is essential.
And yet so many of us grew up without support to practice understanding.
Understanding diverse people, cultures, feelings, mindsets, perspectives & ways of life.
Understanding ourselves.
Understanding how we can create connection in the classroom.
Without support to practice curiosity before and beyond judgment.
Without support to deeply sense.
Instead, we were told we’re too sensitive.
Too many of us grew up without support to love learning for life.
To create meaningful connection in the classroom and home.
Too much solving.
Too much apathy.
Not enough empathy.
Too much “don’t show emotions”.
Not enough embracing feelings.
Too much “be strong”.
Not enough healing.
Too much “you can’t change everything”.
Not enough “WE can change anything”.
Too much brainstorming.
Not enough heartstorming.
Creating connection in the classroom requires that we engage with education for our hearts.
Without building our empathy and curiosity muscles, our ability to see one another as unique, whole, beautiful humans starts to tangle. Our ability to reweave the social fabric tangles.
That leads to knots in our chests, bullying, prejudice, and bias.
Judgment. Discrimination. Dehumanization. Conflict.
Violence and war in our hearts and minds.
In our thoughts, words, and actions.
Trying to create meaningful connection with wit and new ideas can feel good, but only for so long.
We can innovate to re-distribute all of our food and all of our funds, but how long will this last and what peace will it bring if we still hold on to bias, judgment, prejudice, ignorance, or hate deep in our hearts and minds?
That’s why humanizing stories are necessary to create meaningful connection.
To love lifelong learning about self, others, and our world.
To learn to love self, others, and our world.
To understand ourselves and each other through all of our complex and beautiful shared humanity. To reweave the social fabric.
To learn to resolve conflict. To be at peace with ourselves and others.
To suspend judgment and truly see one another. To humanize. To apologize. To heal together. To reweave the social fabric of our shared humanity.
Let’s learn through authentic human stories and big life questions that help us reweave the social fabric.
Let’s untangle the knots within and between us.
Let’s reweave the social fabric of humanity.
