Deadly Descendants

is focused on creating community through connection, honouring the whole child and the innate wisdom that children carry through their experiences and bring into the space with them.

Deadly Descendants believes that meeting children and teens' social emotional needs and empowering them to feel connected to society is a shared responsibility of all members of the community and is passionate about community education and collaboration. Deadly Descendants recognises that through community connection children and teens thrive.

Deadly Descendants believes that children and teens need the freedom to explore and experience the world around them and that grown ups can provide scaffolding, boundaries and a soft place to land when children and teens need it. Deadly Descendants is passionate about honouring children and teens beliefs around spirituality and fostering a sense of curiosity into beliefs, attitudes and practices that build empathy and connect children to the world around them.
