Abstract: In this article, I develop the idea that education can be organized for flourishing--that is, learning together how to act and engage with the world to create a more just, sustainable future for all. Flourishing is a collective process that involves cultivating care and compassion, engaging in dignity-affirming interactions, and repairing relationships among people, institutions, and subject matter. I share how three initiatives are working to build systems for flourishing: engaging youth in fugitive wellness practices, strengthening families' meaningful connections to schools, and nurturing compassionate educators. These efforts have been cocreated and sustained within research-practice partnerships that offer models for how we can together create, repair, and sustain relationships with people, lands, and waters in just educational futures.
