Missy is the embodiment of supporting children. She has a true gift in cultivating the best in all people and finding ways to bring to the surface everyone’s “inner child” that we have often forgotten. Her spirit is magical and attitude infectious in the most positive of ways. She has created the architecture and framework for building a mindful practice in young people which in turn will create incredible citizens that come from a place of authenticity, love and compassion. Starting with children is how we change the world and Missy is the architect for such a needed place. She has taught children practical skills such as cooking, reading, physical fitness and human decency through her Deep Play for Kids program. These skills, in the current age of technological innovation, have been lost but are being reclaimed through her work and passion. What I have learned over the years is that the basics are what matter and her ability to bring that to life will pay off in the world on both the practical material level as well as through the subtleties of human interaction that we all tend to take for granted. Kids need joy in their lives. They need hope. They need love. Never have I seen anything more cultivating of these lost qualities then through Deep Play for Kids. Deep Play for Kids is what EVERY child and adult should be engaged in. This is pure goodness in the making. Want a better society? This is the answer. I have used what I learned to create more space, joy and compassion in my own life. It was an inspiring experience and one that is absolutely priceless.
