I cannot speak highly enough of this approach to being with infants and toddlers, and really all human beings.

Magda Ge**er, RIE's founder, has supported. me in making parenting my "presence practice".

I wish this information and perspective for all humans who were once an infant (might you be one of them?). and most especially the parents...who, God bless, are doing the most important profession on the planet.

"We teach ourselves" - Magda Ge**er

How we are being in relationship with our children is how they will be with the world.

Being with children. They are the future. We are their future ancestors and will be the ones leading.

Alongside trauma healing, it is time we invest into being informed on the needs of a child at every stage of their development, starting with the infancy.

What if everybody understood child development?

A question that lights my heart on fire imagining living in that world. Where a child is respected, given the space to play uninterrupted, whose emotional authenticity is welcome.

Bowing in reverence to all of the mothers who have come before me. Also, to all of the fathers. Thank you for doing your best, fellow parents on the journey.
and, please let me know if you will be there!
