Our connection to Deep Health
"When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order." Ilya Prigogine
Who we are
We are a group of doctors, therapists, clinicians, researchers, botanists, ecologists, farmers, health administrators and entrepreneurs. We work in many different countries and cultures and our connection to each other has been forged over decades. We have worked on health projects together, helped to build and support each other's ventures and become bound together by a different vision of what health really is. We are connected to Le Vivant, the organisation that incubated Deep Health and has managed projects in integrative medicine, a medicinal plant laboratory and touch therapy research.
Starting with a 'small island of coherence'
Humans and the planet are indivisible and on a co-journey. Deep Health is transdisciplinary - our thinking must start to transcend the boundaries that divide us. This is a small start, but we are fans of Nobel Prize winning chemist, Ilya Prigogine. We love his concept of small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos having the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order. So that's what we aspire to.
Deep Health concept
A unifying concept was needed to bring the parts together and embrace an integrated view of human and planetary health. We believe that concept is Deep Health, which embodies hope around collaborating, healing, creating, and energising.
