• a children's village

    making the best start in life

  • wholeheartedly welcoming you!

    So glad that you are here! You are receiving this via private link; as it is shared purely amongst kith, kin and kindered spirits whilst the work continues both behind the scenes to launch the village members website and welcome you to the odyssey of exploring and experimenting, innovating and inventing to create a the experience and the environment of a village - in the most evolutionary ways possible.

     

    Recognising that at this point, all that is happening in the world; and that our children need a new level of care, consciousness and creativity - as we go through this evolutionary leap; one that comes with much beauty; and a dissolution of what was.

     

    Just like the butterflies do.

     

     

     

  • 'it takes a village to raise a child'..

    Most have heard of this proverb... most recognise the practical and philosophical truth in it.

     

    'Raising' a child is exactly what we are here to do; each of us as creators and makers of the worlds in which children live, grow and evolve; can there be any more of an important endeavour than this?

     

    And if our evolution is fuelled and catalysed by the energy of love; then we are 'raising' the frequency of love; for children to evolve at a whole new level!

     

  • making a good start in life

    What more important process of making can there be - than to make an environment for children to grow up in; gives them the nourishment and protection that they need?

     

    Many say creativity goes on hold during parenting; yet children are a creative process!

     

    Childhood really is the making of a life; as the saying goes 'the art is the start'.

     

    And right now, in this world; children need our creativity in a huge way.

     

    Where children are free and empowered to express their unique expression of their natural genius - just as nature's intelligent design intends!

     

    As delicate seeds and saplings of the new cycle of mother earth; they need our care-full tending for them to root and branch out, blossom or bloom; or fly.

     

    And for them to be best protected from and least corrupted by a world that is experiencing dischord, disharmony and distortions that so many adults spend years and much investment recovering from.

     

  • making it through

    We see with eyes wide open; that which is happening in the world

    Knowing that this is a time of creation

    Whilst also dissolution

     

    A Children's Village is about both.

     

    Tending to all of it.

     

    The practicalities of raising children in these times

     

    As parents; as professionals; as elders; as people who care for children; be it relating to wellbeing, learning, evolution, village-led local humanitarianism; enterprise, culture, social process.. all of it is calling for evolution.

  • making a difference to children

     

    A Children's Village is a place where we are wholehearted in making a huge difference to children -present and future; assisting with this transition across this threshold of a new evolutionary era as part of the new phase for the earth.

     

    Here is a space of meeting growing concerns about the world that today's children are growing up in; coupled with insight and inspiration about what is evolutionary, exemplary and extraordinary; what is possible by way of environments and eco-systems for children.

     

    This is a space of creating coherence, resonance and harmony.

     

    And lovingly disrupting the status quo.

     

    Making our way through these times; to the brighter future that is ahead of us. If we can allow this process of change, the best we can.

     

    It will be the making of us,

     

    The space is online and real-time; the emphasis being on the latter. It's great to keep it local; and technology can be useful to a point.

     

    Spaces are with children, parents, elders, kith and kin, professionals and community members - all working in sync to 'raise' children through the intentional creation of an evolutionary eco-system.

     

  • making a difference to us all

    Knowing that we are one living system; that we are interconnected; that an evolutionary environment for children serves the whole.

     

    And knowing that by making a living promise to make a difference to children in this way; we each as adults evolve in extraordinary and exquisite ways too.

     

    As we each step further fully into our eldership; we also experience more of who we are.

     

    And we all evolve together

  • making a promise as elders

    A children's village invites us all as elders - to make a promise to do and be all we can, to care for children of today; who are the communities of the future.

  • a little insight into the world of a children's village.. so far

    "In two sessions your work broke through a deep layer of palpable fear and upset, through bringing to life the beauty of water, and how it carries harmonics which play a deep role in emotions... looking through this prism of water and the analogies and metaphor your provided, allowed us to see the truth in the situation. And come up with creative ways of connecting with my children again through water.

     

    I had the experience of just wanting to be

    the best version of me I can be in their eyes;

    a hero dad.

     

    And so with the kindness and calmness Karen showed me and my blended family constellation, and the laser like attention to detail with a professional business hat on, she was able to diagnose, propose the path of greatest joy, and then get the post workshop feedback to fine tune for next time, all without us seeing the back of house that must take years to perfect.

     

    It was a deep privilege and I can only bless this work as being inspired by spirit, for the pure goodness of humanity."

     

    Benjamin - Father

    "I never had such an experience before. I think many peoples in India need such coaching to take out their hidden dreams and show to them. And also showing them the possibilities and way forward.”

     

    Shiva Prakash - Father & Ayurvedic Practiitoner

    'Karen is like no-one else I have ever met; she's quite simply brilliant. She is a unique blend of creativity, intuition and smarts.

     

    Her crystal clear process took me on an amazing journey starting from a spark of an idea - and ending in a fully formed business plan. Like a spiral, Karen's questions led me deep into the core of the idea. One of the keys of the process is the visual map that she creates for each session. These maps helped me to link things together in new ways, and see new possibilities - ultimately coming up with a better concept."

     

    D. Gosling - Director & Innovator for Children

    "Thank you for your listening, creativity and knowledge all in a realm of authenticity and potency. What I got out of our sessions was the opportunity to create new out of chaos; to create future out of things that were ending; to give a new meaning to ambition.”

  • it has taken a village to get this far!

    It really has taken a village to bring what is now this little venture (albeit with huge heART) into being; and has been happening with a village of friends and colleagues who have helped me and it; there is an ongoing enormous flow of gratitude to you.

    gifting as the village economy

    Surely a village for a child is a right for all; regardless of the money they are born into? Elephants take care of their herds as a way of nature; and my aim is to be able to make this available in such a way, that all who wish to create an evolutionary village around their children, have the opportunity to do so.

    making it work in the meantime

    A transitional phase of the old ways and the new; there is an ongoing, active inquiry into the best ways to re-source these endeavours.

     

    For now, and for one-to-one, partner and/or small group sessions there are scales of fees in place for children, parents/kith/kith and elders, and for professionals.

     

    There is a trust placed in your choosing of a fair fee; and there is a careful and thoughtful tending to keeping the balance of exchange which underpins the integrity and wholeness of the work.

     

    For sessions per hour:

    Children £50 - £100

    Adults £75 - £100

    Professionals £100 - £350

    There are many ways to make a contribution - a page for this is being set up to share the possibilities of how to be involved.

     

    Whilst funding applications are underway to make this all possible; money is helpful to for prototyping, publishing, production of re-sources - and the building of the first experimental village and evolutionary 'school'!
