CONNECTION IS HEALTH
“Only by restoring the broken connections can we be healed. Connection is health. And what our society does its best to disguise from us is how ordinary, how commonly attainable, health is. We lose our health - and create profitable diseases and dependencies - by failing to see the direct connections between living and eating, eating and working, working and loving.”
~ Wendell Berry

Beliefs
Disconnection is the root of disease.
Disconnection from self stems from a fundamental disconnection from nature which prevents us from trusting the wisdom of our bodies and causes us to override our needs and instincts. This allows pain, depletion, exhaustion, burnout, and mysterious symptoms to take root and thrive. In order to heal, we need to reconnect with our body’s wisdom and respect our natural rhythms.
When we are connected to ourselves and our world, we are able to hear and trust our own wisdom and know intuitively how to support our own health and wellness. We recognize that we cannot heal in isolation. We understand that we are not part of nature, we are nature, and our individual health depends upon the health of our communities and our planet.
Our natural state is balanced
Our bodies and minds are designed to maintain dynamic balance by adapting to the demands of our environment.
When we understand our unique constitution, we know by heart what we need to maintain balance, and we are able to create a life that sustainably supports our ability to thrive rather than a life that depletes and drains our resources.
We are hardwired for healing
Our bodies are designed to heal themselves. Our ability to heal depends on our overall health and state of balance. If we are depleted, we won’t have the resources we need to regenerate. Investing in wellness and prevention enables us to be resilient. Reconnecting with our bodies’ wisdom allows us to course correct when we first notice imbalance, rather than waiting for small problems to progress to big problems.
Pain is a sign of stagnation
Everything in life has a rhythm. Our hearts beat in a rhythm. The sun and moon create the cycles of day and night and of the seasons. Even our nervous system has a rhythm. If we choose to ignore the rhythm of life and go against the grain of nature, it will drain our vital energy and eventually lead to dis-ease.
Pain and depletion are the result of constriction and stagnation of our natural rhythm. This often happens when the nervous system feels threatened and is trying to keep us safe. To heal the root causes of pain and depletion, we must heal the nervous system and restore the flow of our vital energy.
