What We Know- Historical & Scientific Research

Like the assembly of a nest, the research combines fragmented elements of lived and inherited experiences to be shared. The nest, much like the womb, provides nourishment and agency through intimate relationships of refuge and prospect and knowledge building. Nests remain and provide an ontological space for other birds and species, local use & reuse of materials creating stewardship. Reciprocity of relationship within the ecology is paramount.

Research and experiences, much like the composition of the nest inform: identity- inherited (DNA and epigenetics) and lived (memories), conscious and unconscious, place-making and decision making. These shape our being and engender relationships to connect, empower and heal.
