WE'RE HERE FOR THE BRAVE BEGINNINGS, THE UNEXPECTED TURNS, & THE QUIET RECKONINGS.
​
For anyone navigating change and wanting tools that help them grow through it.
​The Village It Takes offers practical, creative support for people moving through transition—from kids to caregivers, educators to therapists, neurodivergent adults to newly single parents. Through storytelling, sensory-informed strategies, and thoughtful coaching, we help you move forward with more clarity, connection, and ease.

CORE VALUES
Holy Risk
We take bold creative and emotional risks, with reverence and care.
Truth Telling
We name what’s real, even when it’s hard—including telling our children the truth in appropriate, informed ways.
Play as Praxis
We honor imagination as a path to growth and justice.
Collective Wisdom
We believe leadership lives at every age and stage—and that one of the greatest ways we learn is from one another.
Interdependent Community
We know it truly takes a whole village to keep the village well. We foster community partnerships and webs of support, creating integrated resources that make thriving possible
Innovation
When we tell the truth and play, we discover bold ideas. We believe a better world is possible—and that bringing new ideas to life is crucial. We leverage modern tools, technology, and AI to build creative, inclusive, and human solutions.
Authentic Belonging
We center neurodivergence, unique needs, and embodied variation. We believe true inclusion involves shared power and leadership, restoring agency and authorship.
THE WORLD WE'RE WORKING TOWARD:
We imagine a world where people know and love themselves and one another more deeply. Where change is met with care, curiosity, and community—not avoidance. Where the stories of grief, growth, adventure, and brave beginnings—all of life’s chapters, plot twists included—are honored, not hidden. Where children are treated with dignity and seen as powerful contributors to their families, communities, and futures. Where modern learning pedagogies and technology are leveraged to make learning more inclusive, creative, and human. Where we build shared language around neurotypes, sensory needs, self-advocacy, and the many ways humans communicate, play, and relate. Where integration happens in the present—so there’s less trauma to unpack later. And where community partnerships form a web of interdependent support—because it truly takes a whole village to keep the village well. Where storytelling isn’t just an art—it’s a way back to ourselves and each other.
WHERE IT KEEPS ON TAKING A VILLAGE TO BE A HUMAN.
And where the stories we live—of resilience, wonder, loss, becoming, and belonging—become the reasons we gather, the legacy we pass to our children, and the record we keep for ourselves—chapter by chapter, plot twists and all.
