It is an empowering event for everyone who cares about creating a more connected, healthier, wealthier more peaceful world for our children starting with love.
Nurturing the Future reveals why the first 1001 days of life are so crucial and critical in preventing challenges in the world such as poor mental health, addiction, social isolation and poverty and highlights how love and nurturing care can help us all reach our full potential in life.
It brings together experts in the fields of conception, birth and the early years alongside transformational stories of how love can change the lives of parents and babies across the world. It connects the fields of science, health, psychology and spirituality.
The event will showcase research and education backing investing in love, connection and human potential as well as providing opportunities to join a community elevating the importance and value of love and nurturing care in the world.
The Event
The event connects all those working with parents, babies and children and parents and babies to come together for a full day of learning and supporting one another. We will welcome 150 + people to the event.
Hosted, at the beautiful Crypt On The Green, Clerkenwell Close, London EC1R 0EA on Saturday 9th October 2021, Nurturing The Future seeks to elevate the conversation around self care, love, support, community and nurturing care from conception, through pregnancy, birth and the early years.
Although the main event is in London, there are partner events happening around the the world in Australia, Mexico and Botswana.
During the run up to the event, there will also be an awareness week with the opportunity to promote the importance of the first critical 1001 days of life.
This is a global movement and we are building a community across the world devoted to investing in love.
Why Nurture The Future? Why now?
The first 1001 days of life are critical because the period from conception to two is when the brain is growing and developing at the maximum speed and laying down the foundations for the future.
Science has revealed that the first 1001 days of life and the expression of our genes is highly influenced by our environment making the importance of nurturing care absolutely critical for realising the potential in us all. It is a fact that the emotional environment of infancy created by relationships with parents shapes us psychologically and neurologically forever. That’s why it's time to bring our attention and focus to supporting and empowering parents from the period of conception to two to provide nurturing and loving care for their children. In this way we invest in the best environment to nurture the future, empower parents in the present and heal the past.
Nurturing the future is an opportunity to elevate the importance of nurturing care and love in society, celebrate the invisible power of parenting and inspire action to provide more support for parents and babies.
"Love is a pathway to a more conscious and connected society where human potential is fully realised on a global scale"-Gayle Berry
