What is the meaning behind re:connectology?

Move Think Connect 

We have created Reconnectology to bring together our growing wisdom in body and mind practices. 

We will all find ourselves in a place of disconnection. This is an understandable place to be when we are feeling burnt out, we have lost an important role, we have lost our health, our independence or we have faced a set-back, a turning point in life. How we relate to ourselves and others at these times will be shaped by what we learnt growing up, how others responded to us when we were struggling and the messages from society. 

We live in a culture that values the individual, striving for success, in competition with others - how we look, what we have, what we do. This competitive algorithm drives polarised thinking, separation, disconnection. 

So how do we navigate these realities of life…. this got us thinking….and exploring…and moving…. and talking….

We started to see our knowledge and practices as routes to reconnect - to connect with our bodies, to connect with ourselves and to connect to people around us. And the glue that brings this all together - compassion…. we are talking about all the faces of compassion - the gentle soothing compassion and the kick ass, stand up for yourself compassion too. 

We need more compassion in this world. The thing is, it is something we need to practise - because there are so many pulls inside of us and outside of us that can bring us back to disconnection. It can be hard to maintain this and we often need variety to meet us where we are - sometimes connecting with movement, our breath, an idea… finding curiosity that deshames, that understands, that creates movement when we feel overwhelmed, unbalanced, disheartened and stuck. 

Reconnectology is a space where we can practice compassion together in the many forms it can take as the antidote to disconnection.
