We are fundraising for a new project! All donations are matched through December 31.

We're preparing to launch "The Wren Magazine", a beautifully handcrafted publication for tweens, teens, and their families that invites readers to slow down, look closely, and rediscover joy and wonder in the everyday world.

Through playful activities, nature exploration, and creative rituals, it helps families connect across generations while cultivating mindful rhythms rooted in attentiveness, gratitude, and curiosity.

"The Wren" focuses on the more-than-human world because paying deep attention to it has both deep spiritual roots and proven power: research shows that awe and wonder are some of the best antidotes to the anxiety so many young people are experiencing.

As John O'Donohue wrote, "When you take the time to travel with reverence, a richer life unfolds before you. Moments of beauty begin to braid your days."

This will be our next big project in 2026, and we're so excited to bring this magazine to life with your support.

All donations matched until December 31!

Today marks Bayard Rustin’s 111th birthday! 🎉 A key architect of the Civil Rights Movement, Bayard dedicated his life to nonviolent resistance and advocating for human dignity. Often pushed to the background because of his identity as a gay Black man, he was the main organizer of the March on Washington and a trusted advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Bayard believed in the power of “angelic troublemakers”—those who commit to nonviolently resisting injustice. But beyond resistance, he encouraged us to focus on what we are creating: a world that values equality, mutuality, and joy. 🌱

In honor of Bayard’s legacy, let’s reflect on the importance of not just fighting against what’s wrong, but imagining and building what is beautiful, nourishing, and worth protecting. As the essayist and poet Ross Gay reminds us, we need to advocate for what we love, for what delights us.

Happy birthday, Bayard Rustin! Let’s continue to tell stories that celebrate humanity and work toward a more just and abundant world. Here’s the coloring sheet from the Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints companion curriculum that accompanies the lesson on Bayard Rustin as a small way to tangibly honor Bayard’s story. You can read his full profile (and download a printable version of the coloring sheet) from the Holy Troublemaker’s book at: www.holytroublemakers.com/bayard
