Welcome to another episode of The Superhumanize Podcast, where we explore groundbreaking ideas and practices that elevate our understanding of human potential. I'm your host, Ariane, and today we have the privilege of diving deep into the world of child development and connected communities with two remarkable guests, Dr. Darcia Narvaez and Dr. Gay Bradshaw.
Dr. Darcia Narvaez is a renowned Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame and an esteemed scholar whose work has significantly shaped the field of developmental psychology. With a focus on moral development and the crucial role of early life experiences, Dr. Narvaez has dedicated her career to uncovering the innate blueprint that nature has designed for raising children.
Joining her is Dr. Gay Bradshaw, an extraordinary ecologist, psychologist, and acclaimed author. Dr. Bradshaw's pioneering work centers around the interconnectedness of human and animal well-being and the importance of compassionate communities. Her expertise lies in bridging the gap between the sciences, exploring the intersection of psychology, ecology, and ethics.
Together, Dr. Narvaez and Dr. Bradshaw have co-authored the transformative book, The Evolved Nest: Nature's Way of Raising Children and Creating Connected Communities. This groundbreaking work delves into the profound wisdom embedded in our ancestral heritage and offers a blueprint for nurturing children and fostering interconnected communities, creating harmonious societies.
Our guests will guide us through the concept of the Evolved Nest and highlight its paramount significance in the development of children and society as a whole. They will illuminate the core elements of the Evolved Nest that are indispensable for fostering healthy growth, nurturing empathy, and cultivating resilient, compassionate individuals and societies.
Dr. Narvaez and Dr. Bradshaw will shed light on the relationship between the Evolved Nest and the alarming concept of nature deficit disorder.
