Wellspring 2018

Did you know a lack of community and strong social connection can have a disastrous outcome on your health? You might be surprised to learn that an imbalance in these aspects of life can pose just as much health risk as smoking. We often only focus on eating well and moving our bodies, which are most definitely keys to good health, but they mean nothing if someone feels isolated, disconnected, and lonely. We know that friend-power is more powerful than willpower, and that comes in the form of a supportive and aligned community.

Feeling we have a purpose in life and sharing our unique gifts with the world allows us to tap into more joyful living. In fact, research has shown that having a sense of purpose produces longer, happier lives. How can you make more time for these things that light you up, and what is sucking away your energy and happiness and how can you step away from it?

Join the following as they discuss how community and purpose intertwine for a sense of well-being:

• Ryland Engelhart, Mission Fulfillment Officer and co-owner of Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre, and co-founder of Kiss The Ground.
