Deep Health is a co-journey for humans, nature and the planet
where we live physically, emotionally and spiritually in a symbiotic relationship with the earth
Challenging the present to shape the future
As a concerned community of doctors, therapists, ecologists, farmers and entrepreneurs, we've been asking some questions
Why is health always about our physical bodies, ignoring our emotional and spiritual selves? Why do we continue to view the health of planet as something outside of us? How can we possibly see ourselves as separate to nature? Deep Health expresses that humans are vital, spiritual beings, inextricably connected to nature and to each other, bursting with imaginative and creative potential.
Looking through a new lens
Today there is pollution of our soil, air, water and even our homes
Anxiety, depression and eco-trauma have become part of life on earth for millions of people. We need to change the lens through which we view ourselves on this planet.
That means seeing human and planetary health as completely integrated. It means removing the barriers between medicine, ecology and agriculture. With these areas working together, we can cultivate resilience, and nurture a deeper connection to each other and to the natural world that sustains us.
From chaos to conciousness
The seismic shift we need
Humans are going through a significant transition – chaotic, threatening and disordered. We are using and exploiting the earth, while having an ultra-anthropocentric view of the damage we are causing. Currently constrained by our separatist thinking, we urgently need a seismic shift in consciousness. How can we rediscover connection amid the fragmentation we have created? How do we overcome the orchestrated assault that the materialistic world is making on humanity and move to a new ecology of health?
Join the Deep Health movement
We're on the same page
We've been speaking to people involved in health, medicine, ecology, farming and other fields in different parts of the world. We discovered that they are thinking the same way.
They want a forum to share their progress, stories and challenges. They want to be part of something that is inclusive of inter-generational exchange and indigenous ways of knowing. And they want to help co-design what that looks like.
We will be sharing news and stories about the work that is happening in Deep Health. You will also receive access to a podcast series on some of the foremost thinkers in Deep Health.
And when we bring the community together, you'll be invited to join our events! Read our Manifesto to start your journey with us.
Deep Health Pathway
We want to enlist the vision, energy and thinking of like-minded people to co-design the future of Deep Health. We've started by interviewing leaders in Deep Health related fields to seek their feedback. Next, we want to share this via a podcast series and lived experience stories. We'll then host an interactive event, where you can help us to co-design the road map for Deep Health.
