Health as Life

Health is life.

Health and life are a double helix — two strands wound into one, where neither has meaning alone. Health with no life to live is nothing; life without health becomes a weight to carry. A lifetime on one strand, the daily care that carries it on the other, bound at every turn.

Life — the arc of a lifetime  ·  Health — its daily dimensions
An open invitation

Health as Life is becoming a global community — a place to share ideas on making the quality of your life the best it can be, through knowledge and awareness. Not health as a clinic you visit, but health woven into the whole of a life: carried in poems, songs, images, and conversation, and enriched by everyone who takes part.

Wherever you are, you're invited to take part.
