Why Kikori?
Hear from Cambridge Lead SEL Teacher
With a background in trauma-informed practices and theatre/improv, Cambridge School District SEL Lead Teacher, Alice Cohen shares why Kikori's experiential Social Emotional Learning (eSEL) activities are so powerful for students.
Loved by thousands from schools and organizations including:
Made for Educators, by Educators
When Co- Founders Kendra and Bryn met, they each had reasons for bringing Kikori to life. Kendra Bostick, PhD Candidate, LCSW, MEPD was a School Social Worker whose job was to help students learn their special strengths, practice empathy and experience belonging. Bryn Lottig, MEPD, and published author, is an expert on blending outdoor pursuits with leadership development. They knew the power of experiential Social Emotional Learning but saw that educators didn't have the time, resources and knowledge to make it happen.
Success Stories
Kikori has been able to assist schools and organizations across the country in their SEL goals. Hear from some of the voices who love what Kikori has brought to their community.

Experiential SEL (eSEL) in Motion
We teamed up with The Suffolk Public Schools College & Career Academy at Pruden to showcase student talent. This event highlighted the benefits of combining experiential learning with 21st Century Workplace Readiness Skills and Social Emotional Learning.
Tuftonboro Central School, Wentworth NH
"KIKORI has helped me put in place a school-wide program in a few weeks that would definitely have been at least a year long process to put in place. It would have taken us so much longer to meet our school-wide goal of revitalizing our school culture...rolling out school-wide expectations and tools to make it happen in the classroom. I would have had to do everything but with Kikori, I'm not developing...I"m supporting teachers to put the program in place...right off the bat...day 1 of school and we're already doing it!"
- Matt Tetrault, School Social Worker
