We know that something has to be done about the way we are collectively living on planet Earth. There is an urgency about the changes we need which makes it is easy to feel impotent in the face of the mounting environmental disasters, resource depletion, injustices and climate chaos.
Don’t.
We are far more powerful than we have been led to believe, especially when we act together.
Radical Self Care is for anyone who wants to play their part in healing the mess we are in on planet Earth. It is based on the premise that if we live simpler, calmer more deeply connected lives where we take better care of ourselves, we will automatically start to take better care of our planet.
Radical Self Care will help you to:
Radical Self Care is rooted in a wider definition of self.
Instead of seeing our ourselves as individuals contained within the bodies we inhabit, we extend that sense of self out in ever widening circles.
We come to understand that we live nested within spheres of influence and interconnectedness. We belong not only to ourselves but within our families, groups of friends, our communities, culture, nation and ultimately the planet.
This is why Radical Self Care believes the place to start is with ourselves.
Modern life is unhealthy, our water, air and food is full of toxins. When we add in fears about the state of the world, unresolved traumas and other stresses our biological and psychological capacity is stretched to its limit. Eventually it creates dis-ease in the form of physical or emotional issues. Our symptoms are sign posts showing us somethings out of balance. Just like the planet our systems begin to fail.
This is our wake-up call.
We therefore practice Radical Self Care not only to save ourselves. The interconnectedness of all things means that by healing ourselves we will bring healing to the whole world.
As we recover we come to understand the important part we have to play in the healing our world and we find we have the time, energy and enthusiasm to get on with it.

As part of my own RSC I keep my digital life as simple as possible. I mostly communicate through this website, my mailing list and my Youtube Channel. I am therefore grateful for any help you can offer to spread the word about Radical Self Care.
With love and thanks.
