Thoughtful workshops, intergenerational perspectives,

and playful media projects with profound roots.

Across projects made for kids, parents, and curious folks in between, this is where our educational and creative roots meet. From mythic basketball theology to forest class workshops, these projects deliver both symbolic and practical messages to help people better interact with the world we share.
