Description of Challenge
We find it difficult to take care of our personal wellbeing, and the needs of a group,
while relating to the world around. For reasons of cultural conditioning or personal
preference, we often focus on one of these levels and marginalize the others. In the
social and environmental justice movements, many have sacrificed themselves in order
to engage with wider issues. Stress and burnout are not uncommon.
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” Gandhi
“Because we don’t think about future generations, they will never forget us.” Henrik
Tikkanen
Solution
Develop a practice that enables us to to be aware of all three levels as we develop
ourselves and our projects.
