Vitality through integration

Send us a text

Nothing exists in isolation. Parts form groups, which then form systems. The health of the system relies on effective integration between all of its components. This is as true in organisms as in families, organizations, or societies.

We often take the health of our bodies for granted. Until we’re struck with illness or injury, we don’t appreciate the flawless symphony of cells, tissues, organs, and systems. We suffer greatly in body and mind when any part is not at its best.

Likewise, we can easily take the health of our families, relationships, organizations, or social institutions for granted. 

All of these complex systems rely on healthy integration to function. Each individual part plays a critical role in the larger system. 

While ideas like “work-life balance” are well-intentioned, we will rarely, if ever, achieve a proper balance between these parts. Instead, paying attention to integration can yield better results — giving each part the resources it needs to contribute to the whole.
