What is a Moai?​​

A Moai (pronounced "moh-eye") is a traditional social support network from Okinawa, Japan, meaning "meeting for a common purpose". This program honors that tradition by strengthening social ties and building a resilient community while meeting around the topic of parenting.

What do participants gain?​​

Participants learn to manage the unique stressors of cross-cultural life by mastering self-management techniques, such as grounding and values-based parenting, before moving into collaborative connection skills. The curriculum emphasizes that self-regulation is a prerequisite for helping children navigate complex identity shifts and transitions safely. Ultimately, this resource aims to transform the parenting experience into a stable foundation that protects a child's emotional wellbeing across borders.

The 10-Session Journey

Skills for Self-Regulation and Connection. Broken down into four essential components.

​

Learn how to stay in your optimal emotional zone to respond thoughtfully. We focus on expanding the WoT, reducing the chance of leaving it, and returning to it. We also rate foundational factors like Sleep, Nutrition, and Connection.
