“Sharing stories of the universe gives children a crucially important gift — a context for their presence and helps them connect to their purpose and sense of belonging. Deep Time learning and surging curiosity are born through exploring interrelationship and interdependence, just what the DTJN is all about!”

DTJN is a tremendous community for connecting with local communities around the world inspired by Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme, Maria Montessori, and others orienting to a Cosmic Story with an understanding that everything is connected.
When we share stories of the universe with children, we give them a context for their presence and help them connect with their purpose and sense of belonging. Deep Time learning and surging curiosity are born through exploring interrelationship and interdependence, just what the DTJN is all about!
