About Us

Tending Futures is held by Megha and Dee. Together, we bring years of experience in working with young people, educators, schools, collectives, and communities.

We believe learning is a pathway to liberation, and that real learning happens through relationships. We begin with the smallest unit: building trust and connection, and watching those relationships ripple outward in ways that are rooted in care, and sustained through practice.

Our work at Tending Futures is to observe and respond to the times. To support the development of an inner compass so young people can find their own way through uncertain times. And in doing so, make possible a new world. One that does not rely on oppression, control or punishment.

Dee (they/them) is a facilitator and educator who creates thoughtful spaces for young people and communities to grow in connection and trust. Their work is informed by years of supporting young people inside carceral systems, and challenging frameworks of criminalisation and control.

Dee anchors a collective called Alternative Justice, where their practice is rooted in restorative and transformative justice, which are practices that offer ways to respond to conflict and harm, build accountability, and nurture relationships through care and repair, rather than punishment.

Megha (she/her) is a Waldorf educator who is formed by her learning and teaching in Steiner spaces across 12 years.

She is made also by the liberatory philosophies of folks past - bell hooks, Paulo Freire, the Irish poet and theologian John O’ Donohue; and present - Krista Tippet and her humanist explorations, along with how Gestalt and other learnings have arrived in the work and being of Shalini Rao.
