When we reimagine the culture of childhood, we can transform the health of individuals, communities and the planet for generations to come.
Spiral is a new organisation that aims, by working with children and families, to address some of the precipitating and often interlinked causes of poor mental health, fragmented community and ecological breakdown.
The initial work of the new organisation has been to develop and test a new model of childcare for parents with children under 5. Borrowing from ancient wisdom and the human developmental niche, the aim is to return to a form of care that human infants and children evolved to need for healthy brain and body development. Hence, the ‘Spiral’ model brings together collaborative parental care (“it takes a village to raise a child”) with support from a holistic infant development specialist in a real-world
environment – with a strong focus on connection to nature, self-sufficiency and building strong attachment relationships.
The intention of our work is to build resilience – allowing citizens of the future to gain a deeper sense of security in themselves and their humanity, their place in nature, and their role in shaping the future of the earth.
