Vision
We envision a world that embodies well-being as a core value. It understands that the psychological and spiritual well-being of the individual and the collective are interdependent. It promotes deep and varied forms of essential connection and encompasses the structures that support and facilitate this process.
Thesis
The natural world is profoundly and inextricably interconnected.
Yet, modern society operates based on assumed frameworks and systems of separateness.
Separateness creates a basis for rivalry and disconnection. It manifests as entrenched conflict and societal warfare, as well as the increasingly pervasive afflictions of loneliness, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
We believe societal and individual healing require a re-establishment of interconnectedness, which includes an integrated connection to self (body, mind, and beyond), others (humanity), and nature.
