WHAT ARE COLLECTIVE HEALTH CONVERSATIONS?
The Collective Health Conversations is a series in which we explore the connection between collective or societal health and individual wellness.
We heal as individuals and as a society when we are in relationship. Through these conversations, I hope we can deepen and broaden our ties to one another and to the brilliance of our own bodies.
We can focus on self-care until we're blue in the face, but individual wellness does not exist in a vacuum. If our conversations about wellness don't address systemic oppression - including racism, ableism, capitalism, weight stigma, healing will be elusive.
We are amidst a powerful culture shift. How can we participate? What do each of us have to offer? And how can we heal ourselves as we work toward creating the world we want to live in?
Let's connect with each other over topics that matter. Let's nurture our own healing as well as healing in the context of others' healing and the healing of the planet
If you love to expand your consciousness and are interested in both connection and community, then you just have to participate.
It's free. It's virtual.
Sometimes the conversations will be rooted in a particular book or article, sometimes we'll just show up for conversation.
Please show up as you are.
We'd love to have you join us.
WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT NOW:
Thrilled to have
Karin Berardo & Shawn Moreton
join us as our guests!
For our next Collective Health Conversation, we'll be talking about capitalism.
We will be talking about how your relationship with capital affects our individual well-being and how it affects the well-being of our communities.
We're defining "well-being" broadly: how does capitalism affect our physical, emotional, spiritual, health? How does it affect the well-being of our environment? Of the collective?
In a time of a global pandemic and racial uprisings, what questions should we be asking of our economic system?
With a depth and breadth of experience, Karin Berardo and Shawn Moreton will guide us through a look at the macro and the micro, helping us understand our individual role in cultivating resilience and justice in our communities and the collective.
"What would our economic system look like if we valued well-being and care?
What would our collective well-being and health look like if our economic system prioritized people?"
- Shawn Moreton
