Today’s world is too focused on isolated, individual development, giving rise to unsustainable practices that alienate the person from themselves, isolate them from their community, and damage their health. Holistic wellness is all about rebuilding this connection, allowing you to be more mindful and healthy in your pursuit of growth.
