Hey y'all,
Wellness is not making us well. It’s making us worse. 🙃
By all accounts, we are not ok, not better off, not thriving.
While wellness promises enlightenment, the circumstances of our lived reality tell a different story. The many crises we are facing are exponential - from non-stop war, to infectious disease, to racial injustice, to extreme income inequality, to climate change acceleration.
And while wellness exploits our fear and vulnerabilities, it does nothing to address the systems that got us here in the first place. It *blames us* for our struggles but refuses to acknowledge what’s at the root of our suffering.
We don’t need another juice fast or yoga fad…we need a spiritual detox.
A spiritual detox understands that toxic food and environmental pollutants are not the only things making us sick.
It is a whole system approach to healing that invites us to ask hard questions about how we got here, what is shaping us (from trauma to history to culture to systems), how it is holding us back from ourselves and each other and what it’s going to take to really heal.
This radical inquiry doesn't only tend to the personal and physical body but the political and spiritual one that explores how a culture of dominance manifests in us (and around us) as moral injury, soul loss, spiritual crisis and collective suffering.
Practicing detox and recovery helps us identify where we are unwell and out of balance and what's possible beyond what we have inherited.
