You can’t change the world without your own health and vitality.
Whether you’re a community activist or a corporate leader, a stay-at-home caretaker or an artist with big dreams, you’re here to make a difference. That means how you feel matters. Sometimes an illness or chronic condition sidelines our ambitions. Often there’s no clear diagnosis — just a persistent, haunting sense of low-grade dis-ease. Sometimes, just as we get one part of life stable, another crumbles. It’s a never-ending game of “health worry whack-a-mole” — and it’s messing with our mojo.
Standard medical care often can’t do the job.
It is almost impossible to do deep healing with a doctor who is required to blaze through patients every 10 minutes, half a mind on coding a diagnosis for insurance. Most medicine today is too piecemeal, too impersonal, too isolated, and too rushed to help us find true health.
2/3 of doctors today are burnt out, with reduced ability to listen and empathize
Modern medicine has a narrow scope of interventions that have dangerous side effects
One can spend tons of money chasing answers and getting nowhere
Even with alternative medicine it’s hard to know what is worth your time and money
We now know that community is fundamental to restoring health
