The Tangent Trail
Who are we?
A wellbeing, education, and storytelling-based movement that embraces life’s detours. The Tangent Initiative is a platform, community, and framework for people navigating transitions—through curiosity, connection, and creativity. Founded by an educator passionate about wellbeing and neurodivergence, it’s a flexible, inclusive space that honors the messy middle and the unexpected path.
What do we do?
We provide workshops, practical strategies, resources and stories to those in need of a little pick me up. With a background in wellbeing for the neurodiverse, the Tangent Initiative aims to provide something that every individual can implement today
Mission and Vision
Mission: To create an inclusive space where individuals, especially from rural and neurodivergent backgrounds, can explore their stories, embrace transitions, and foster community through shared experiences.
Vision: A world where every individual's journey is valued, and storytelling becomes a tool for connection, growth, and empowerment.
Origin Story - Where the tangent began
I was a teacher who didn’t quite follow the curriculum. My best lessons came from tangents—when students opened up about life, when we sat in stillness, or when the map changed. ADHD didn’t define me, but it shaped the way I saw and taught the world. That detour became the Tangent Initiative: a new classroom without walls.
