The Wellness of We (May 25 — June 1, 2020)
An 8-day online practice to advance collective wellbeing.
We were brought up to believe that wellness is an individual pursuit. But COVID-19 has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are an interdependent species. We are as vulnerable as our most vulnerable, as safe as those left behind. Our economic, political, & social systems are not well, so our people are not well. In the absence of systems that care for us all, mutual & community care are critical pathways to our collective wellbeing. In striving for wellness, we must expand our vision from ME to WE.
But how do we become well in an unwell world? How do we become connected in a culture ruled by separation? We get there by doing it together. Wellness is a collective practice that requires resistance, resilience and the reimagining of the beautiful & healthy world that we are worthy of.
We are worthy of wellness. We are worthy of community. We are worthy of freedom. We are worthy of our dreams. It's time for us to reimagine our wellbeing...together. #worthyandwell #wellnessofwe
