We live on a wild and beautiful planet that gives and sustains life, and to which we are intimately connected. Unfortunately, we are living in a time of large scale disconnect to the Earth and the Earth is hurting because of it. As a species, we are out of alignment with nature and life around us. We seek to control, destroy and use whatever we want without any regard to the rest of the Earth’s inhabitants. However, all life is interconnected. What hurts the planet hurts us.

We can only be truly healthy when our rivers, soils, fellow humans, plants, animals and air are healthy. Deep healing, truly requires that we widen our lens beyond the individual and also focuses on healing our entire ecosystem and our human societies.

There are so many areas of life where we can find ourselves rushing, “going through the motions,” not paying attention, feeling overwhelmed and being unintentional about the things we are doing. I know I have found myself doing that, often because I find myself short on time, under high stress, fatigued or because I am flooded with too much information or too many options. In which areas of your life do you feel like you could bring a little more intentionality?
