Our Work
The crises we face today—climate breakdown, ecological collapse, social alienation, and widespread mental health struggles—are not isolated phenomena. They are the inevitable consequences of a system designed to prioritize profit and power over life itself. At its core, this system fosters disconnection: from the earth, from one another, and even from our own sense of purpose and agency.
The Living Bridge seeks to address this disconnection at its roots. By integrating regenerative ecological practices, mindfulness, community-building, and the animistic traditions that remind us of our interdependence with all life, we aim to create spaces where healing and reconnection can occur. This isn’t a superficial fix; it’s a fundamental reimagining of our place in the world—one that challenges the structures and ideologies that perpetuate separation and exploitation.
Our dream is to live in a world where all life is connected and where all life matters.
We work toward this vision by creating shared spaces in which collective wisdom can produce a path out of chaos into possibility and renewal.
Our intention is to help each other uncover the skills and awareness we need to move from disconnection to wholeness, from extraction to regeneration, and from scarcity to abundance. We aim to cultivate a world where humanity lives in gratitude, generosity, and harmony with the Earth and all its creatures.
The work is urgent, but it’s also hopeful. We believe that change begins with awareness and grows through collective action. The Living Bridge is an invitation to step outside the dominant narratives, to rejoin the web of life, and to participate in building a future rooted in reciprocity, harmony, and care for all beings.
The question isn’t whether such a future is possible; it’s whether we are willing to work for it.
Our Ecology of Practice
Community Building
Community is the core of our ecology.
An epidemic of loneliness, disconnection and separation plagues the modern human. Our segmentation restricts us to a limited and specific shape of experience, a geometry of patternistic, institutionalized alienation. Utilizing the frameworks developed by M Scott Peck M.D., we offer an alternative experience for new ways of relating, new ways of connecting, and new ways of being.
Animism
The most ancient human wisdom tradition.
Animism is the belief that a creative force organizes and animates the material and non-material universe around us: that all things possess spirit and are alive. By incorporating animacy (and other ancient land-based wisdom traditions) into our ecology of practice, we hope to reconnect to our roots and renew awareness of the deep, somatic relationality between us and the natural world.
Permaculture
A revolution disguised as gardening.
Permaculture is a design philosophy for sustainable human habitats which dares to ask the land what it needs. It prioritizes regeneration and integration over human desires and encourages negotiation between the human and non-human world around us.
Insight Practices
Get to know the passengers on your bus.
An ecology of multiple practices aimed at deepening connection to - and awareness of - our internal parts. By better understanding ourselves we can better build community with those around us.
