Bridging Foster Care With Holistic Therapies
On A Farmstead
We hope to inspire a new conversation about sustainable solutions for the children in overcrowded children homes and foster care systems. Our concept bridges holistic education with a loving foster-care program in a farmstead environment surrounded by nature. We will provide a safe sanctuary that prioritizes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health, as well as individualized therapeutic education and unconditional love for all.
Holistic therapies will be our main focus for healing children who experience trauma, addictions, learning disorders, depression, special needs, and more. Children that have their basic needs met, with holistic methods and love, are more able to explore their talents so they can give back to the world in amazing ways! We want to combat the statistics that show that MAJORITY of these forgotten generations end up in prison, homeless, dealing drugs, and/or prostituting.

"It would be impossible to fully understand the life and emotions of a child going through the foster care system, but this short narrative film portrays that saga in a poetic light, with brushes of fear, anger, sadness, and a tiny bit of hope." -Santa Barbara Independent

STUCK Documentary - This documentary shows the difficulties orphaned, foster children and adoptive parents face as kids are being moved from one overpopulated system to another. This has become the solution for foster care systems that cannot secure more funding and/or treatment for these children. This constant movement is likened to how they move cattle.
These kids will know what security in a home feels like because they are pulled out and put into different foster homes, group homes, or orphanages every year. It is obvious from these true stories that our world does not value the lives of children, nor place their health as priority. Loving and nurturing them is not an active standard in this world and it must change. |
All children deserve love. All children are the future.
