planet:health works to address the planetary health crisis as a manifestation of the metacrisis [[ the multiple overlapping and interconnected global crises ]] that is amenable to considered, inter-disciplinary engagement. 

​

we believe that the if root causes of ill health for people + planet are shared, complex, multifaceted, intertwined, so too must be the solutions.

​

we purposely gather people from across spectra, disciplines, ontologies, methodologies to think through problems + imagine + build alternatives 

​

we draw from the wisdom of the past. we embrace technology as a portal for more just futures. to this end, we build from the concept of planetary health to the frame of xeno-health 

​

we co-create, we stay humble, we get out of our box, we learn, we build

​

shared beliefs

• we recognise health as relational: a relationship to ourself, with others, our communities, wider ecosystems and nature, technology, and the great collective ‘we’

• many of us come from and have worked in a western medicine paradigm, including directly with patients. while this is the case and we greatly respect this system, planet:health stacks onto this model: from the individual to collective; from the biophysical to psycho/spiritual/somatic/environmental; from human to eco; from dominance to reciprocity

• we believe in plurality and that a healthy change ecosystem requires different forms of actors, working in different ways, at different levels, through different modalities

• we respect different forms of knowing and seeing. we listen, and we learn from each other and the planet

• we aren’t afraid to fail. We prototype projects and see what works

• we communicate and share our findings
