“Perhaps, the deepest truth is not what we see, but what we can imagine.” — Glennon Doyle
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the problems all around us in the world right now. But when we bravely & calmly look at them, the problems are our teachers & our collective best-case-scenario dreams show us the way.
What is place-based healing?
“The health of the soil, the water, the forest, the bombed, the incarcerated, the trafficked, the ‘other’…is our own health.”
— Charles Eisenstein
All our gnarliest problems are the systemic ones (racism, climate change, poverty, most health problems…). They can only be healed by redesigning the way we live top to bottom, systematically reconnecting us to ourselves, to each other, & to the natural world, one place at a time.
What is flourishing?
“When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”
— Alexander Den Heijer
What would our communities look like if they were designed with women and marginalized people leading the conversation?
Why do we need Healing Communities?
“It’s naive to pray for peace if we’re not going to change the form in which we live.” — Godfrey Reggio
Trauma = Separation
Flourishing = loving connections with ourselves, others, & the natural world most of the time.
Our Beliefs
Actions of oppression & exploitation come from believing we’re separate from each other.
Become Our Reality
We’ve created systems that create & perpetuate environmental & social crises.
What People Are Saying
“Omg, can I live there?? But seriously, even if I never got to live there, this is the kind of thing I want to see happening in the world. If I can afford Netflix, I can give a little to this! This is totally the kind of thing I want to be a part of. Please make this happen!!
— K. M.
“I can feel so overwhelmed by the mess we’re in. I can see that it would take a massive redesign of all our systems to get us on a better track & that feels SO far beyond me. I’m so grateful to have a meaningful way to contribute.”
— P. L.
“I don’t want my ‘privilege’ anymore. I see enough of what it does to others, & to be honest, it doesn’t serve me well on a deeper level, either. I want to be a part of redistributing access, privilege, & power so we can share more equitably.”
— N. D.
“We already have everything we need.”
— Pema Chödrön
