How can we heal ourselves, our communities and the planet together?
planet:health roots in the premise that the health of individuals is bound to the health of communities, ecosystems and the wider environment. The metacrisis pulls at each of these threads at once, with rising rates of mental ill-health, fraying communities and accelerating environmental collapse. This inquiry asks what it means to treat the healing of people and planet as one, and to practise it together over two weeks.
Week 1 looks at the realities of current health systems, humanitarian response and the climate challenges already unfolding, and asks what action-oriented pathways exist for meeting planetary health challenges now. Expect conversations and practices spanning community chaplaincy, the more-than-human, embodied and contemplative approaches to health, practical tools, the science of how wellbeing and ecology are entangled, and moving to respond to these layered challenges from the personal to the systemic.
Who this is for
Health care workers, builders, scientists, academics, technologists, Indigenous leaders, community organisers, humanitarians, entrepreneurs, and anyone else drawn to the theme. The inquiry is open to everyone staying at or visiting Feÿtopia. No additional materials are required to take part.
