Systems of Interbeing: Mapping Interconnected Systems of Health

Over the past few years I’ve explored a wide range of interests that I’ve begun to unify as interconnected systems of health: environmental, social, physical and mental health. I’m interested in drawing connections between fields of study, ideas, projects and organizations that relate to each of these areas and assembling useful resources for others who are looking to engage in beneficial fields.

To begin, I’ve been researching the dependencies between systems of health and describing examples of the interrelation between physical, mental, social, and environmental health¹.

The main goals of this project are illuminating intersecting initiatives that support multiple systems of health at the same time and exploring how to reduce blockages to accessing greater health in each area. See: accessibility!
