Most modern people are unaware
of the extent to which the human nervous system is dissociated
because there are so many forces—technology, social media,
politics, and a whole host of other things—vying for our
attention.
In
this episode, Gabriel Kram talks about how these dissociative
tendencies are becoming more prevalent in modern culture and how
authority has robbed us of our sacred connection to the earth.
Gabriel emphasizes the value of real human connection to one's
overall well-being and shares their unconventional strategy to
reestablish this
connection.

Gabriel is a connection phenomenologist. For 25 years, he has
studied connection and what gets in its way. He attended Yale and
Stanford universities but has been shaped more by sitting in
teepees and circles than in classrooms. He has been blessed with
many remarkable mentors. He is the founder and CEO of Hearth
Science, Inc., convener of the Restorative Practices Alliance, and
co-founder of the Academy of Applied Social Medicine.
