More people than ever before are endorsing a sense of loneliness. Loneliness is the feeling of being sad and unhappy due to social isolation. For many of us, our modern lifestyles are leading to a sense of disconnection.
Our 4 Relational Hungers
As human beings, we are relational beings. Relationships are intertwined with our survival. Relationships meet our needs for belonging, security, and significance. We’re in relationship not just with people, but with ourselves, nature, spirit, ancestry, creativity, and ideas.
The mindful movement and conscious dance practice of Open Floor International identifies Four Relational Hungers.
• SOLITUDE: left alone, self, turn inward
• CONNECTION: excited/nourished by partner, intimacy
• BELONGING: part of group, union, welcomed
• SPIRIT: part of flow, be held by something beyond

How To MANAGE STRESS + ALL THE THINGS ON YOUR PLATE BETTER!
In our culture, we have this attitude of MORE, BIGGER, BETTER and yet mental and physical health issues are at all-time highs, loneliness, dissatisfaction, and disconnection are commonplace. We are unwell as a cultural and I’m convinced part of the issue is our busyness and this MORE, BIGGER, BETTER attitude.
Engage with NATURE to NURTURE!
One way to intervene and support our Autonomic Nervous System is through spending time in nature. Time in nature reduces stress, improves well-being, and moves us into a ventral vagal state where we can connect with others. Come engage with nature at Willow River State Park 10/10/21 GROUP HIKE TO CONNECT and 11/13/21 GROUP HIKE TO CONNECT.
