Heart-centered moms of ideals and vision:



You can raise your children in a culture aligned with your vision and values

When we become mothers we awaken to a passionate need to protect and nurture our child, to an intense yearning to offer the best world possible to support her growth and unfolding through life. In these troubled times and in this ailing society how can we offer this wholeness to our children, and enjoy its support for ourselves as mothers? How do we even talk about what a truly healthy whole-nature culture looks like?

What if we had a simple map for creating healthy community in our own homes?

What if this map was created from universal practices that have nurtured healthy community for thousands of years?  What if the map could be found encoded in the natural world around us, in each day and night we live, in our very cells as human beings?

What if working mindfully with even just one set of perceptions, with just a single practice could make all the difference for experiencing fully-alive, nurturing community around us in every day?

Sounds impossible?  It isn’t.  Humans are designed to enjoy and create whole-nature community.  We moms are wired to nourish our children–and see to their nourishment–in very particular ways, ways that involve community, village, tribe, and, yes, the earth itself.

Imagine what might happen if a generation of mothers gained facility in this “mother tongue”!

What if, on our mothering journey,  we learned not only parenting skills but the art of  cultural “basket-weaving” as well?  What might happen if we  discovered that nature connection and sharing nature with children really matters for the well-being of us all?    What might happen if we brought these insights into other aspects of our lives (for we would–women do that!), into our groups, communities, businesses? What might be the effect in the world at large?

Hello, I’m Jane Valencia, a Village builder, harper and  healer, and mom to a young child and to a teen, who has  seeded and nurtured healthy community for more than 20 years.  For the past decade I have worked to gather the threads of a fabric for a positive future that we can weave right now  into our every day lives with our children.

If you want a “roadmap” for  healthy culture and a set of simple practices and skills that you can apply simply and easily to your  home life, nourishing and  deepening the health and well-being of your family and transforming the experience of your communities into that of supportive whole-nature villages then you are in the right place.

Healthy culture does exist in the modern world. Recognizing where it is alive and well in our own lives, and learning how to tweak it when it isn’t are the first steps to inviting that better world  into reality that we yearn for– not just for our children but for all children.

I invite you to join me in cultivating a better world beginning right where we are and where it matters most:  in this wild and woolly adventure that is motherhood.  Begin your adventure today by reading my blog.

Here is a story for you –

one of potent vision and grace.

–the story of who we are as mothers on
Mother Earth, and creators of culture everyday.

It is an idea of who we might be

when we consciously work with the nature of the world

from a knowledge and  fullness within ourselves,

and with each other.

It is a story of how

we are woven with the past and are restorers of the future,

of how

harmony can mingle through our daily life like

a refreshing playful creek,

that nourishes our children,
our partner,  ourselves, our village

and inspires us to create in

purposeful, powerful, change-making
ways  ….

I invite you to enter the story

of a  joyful and strong possibility for the future

that we can live with our families and each other right now

and, in doing so, come home to

who we all really are
