“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself.” Kahlil Gibran
Rita is also dedicated to supporting a generation of youth as a way to build sustainable momentum towards a harmonious future. Once adolescents and teens identify and activate their deep inner self and knowing and connect with their creative life force, they use their inner power to create personal, social and cultural change.
Edge Jumpers® is an episodic series and an app created for an audience of children ages 8-12. It uses fun, adventure, fantasy, and entertainment to teach children deep skills of healing, awakening, self-care, well-being, and self-empowerment.
The hope and power of the future of our planet is in the hands of our youth. There are many ways in which we are handing them a difficult world to heal, but there are also many ways in which we can gift them the wisdom, support, and empowerment they need to thrive and to create the new world of well-being that is to come.
The ancient wisdom blueprints for healing and awakening that Rita taught in her decades of working with adults are wonderfully applicable for children. Rita spent seven years working with youth both in 1 on 1 coaching, and a 6 week training program, in which she tailored the blueprint teachings to be understandable and fun for youth. Rita and the Edge Jumpers team are now transforming these teachings for a mass audience of youth, embedding the blueprint skills and messages into an entertaining fictional narrative.

The Story
The story centers around seven friends of multicultural backgrounds who learn and grow together. The plot begins with one of the kids experiencing near death from Covid, and the whole group of friends is distraught.
The kids begin to learn about health on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. They see how much the world has suffered from the pandemic, and how Covid is one of many issues that are affecting us as a global community. The kids conclude that they will not accept the dysfunctional world they have inherited from the adults. Instead, they decide that together they will heal themselves and the world.
The adventures begin when they come across an ancient wisdom blueprint from Egypt, and decide that they will follow its teachings. Magic begins to happen as they are taken across time and space to ancient lands and different cultures, in which they learn about indigenous wisdom, traditions and practices from around the world. They see how these cultures are in deep harmony with Mother Nature, how all people are treated with dignity and respect, and how body, mind, heart, and spirit can be balanced and healed. They learn that each person has sacred gifts to give to the world. The kids are guided along the path of inner self discovery and empowerment, and service for the world. As a result, they gain a vision for a healed world, in which the global culture of competition and control shifts instead into a world of connection and harmony.
This group of seven friends begin a movement with kids around the world, in which together they tap into their innate wisdom, learn to collaborate, and succeed in achieving their shared vision.
The narrative lives within the creative tension between the world of suffering, conditioning, and separation that the kids have inherited, and the new world of well-being, interconnection, and collaboration that the kids are building towards.
As the seven friends learn about themselves and teach what they’ve learned to the rest of the kids in the movement, viewers learn about self-empowerment, intuition, alignment, intention, service, interdependence, teamwork, and more.
The overall narrative, the values expressed, the modeling by the characters, and the teachings the characters themselves receive, are all teaching and inspirational tools for the viewers, as they learn through fun, adventure, and magic.
Impact in Children’s Lives
The overall intention for this TV show and the app that will follow it is to inspire children to transform the practical issues that they are facing in their everyday lives, and to serve the world.
Further offerings, such as the app, and future adventure clubs, summer camps, leadership programs, and school curricula related to social and emotional learning are part of our vision of how we can take the inspiration kids had from watching the show, into their daily lives.
