What If Dependence Is Not Weakness But Reality

Send us your feedback, we'd love to hear from you!

We explore interdependence as a grounded practice of collective care, not a feel-good idea, and we name how it reshapes the way we do relationships. We unpack the responsibilities that come with being connected, including conflict, repair, and showing up for each other through the hard parts of being human.

• interdependence as “hanging between” and living among each other 
• dependence as a spectrum, including healthy dependence and codependency 
• interconnection beyond human relationships, including our reliance on the earth 
• what interdependence asks of us, including growth, honesty and impact awareness 
• rupture and repair as a relationship skill, including receiving support and co-regulation 
• messy edges of truth-telling, tone and aftercare, plus the value of relational rigor 
• identity, privilege and oppression shaping how impact is felt in relationships 
• liberation and resilience through mutual aid, community networks and responsibility 
• nature as teacher, including mycelium networks and the “wood wide web”
