How do you think individual, collective, and planetary wellbeing are connected?

When the planet is well, it provides gifts of clean air and water, nourishment, and inspiration so the collective can flourish. When the collective is well, it provides physical, emotional, and spiritual support so individuals can thrive. When individuals are well, they can continue to put energy into improving the wellbeing of themselves, the collective, and the planet as a whole. Wellbeing builds upon wellbeing, and flows up and down this chain. We all play a part in this process.

What do you hope the outcomes are from the global Hearth Summit?
