May 25 — June 1, 2020 • Online Only
The Wellness of WE is an online summit to advance collective wellbeing and community care.
COVID-19 is exposing the barriers to wellbeing that have always existed. The question is: what will we do about it? While this virus doesn’t discriminate, our systems do, and they’re upholding a wellbeing gap that determines who gets to be well and who doesn’t.
We don't need to fix wellness. We need to reimagine wellness.
This virus is showing us that we are as vulnerable as the most vulnerable, that the only way to get well is for all of us to get well. Who do we need to be together for everyone to be well?
We’re not going back to normal. We are imagining forward new way of being together
