This presentation was part of the Nova Campfire on "Overcoming the Great Divide: Quantum Social Change for Personal and Planetary Health” - hosted by the Nova Institute for Health in collaboration with the Garrison Institute. The event explored strategies to overcome political polarization and cultural fragmentation that threaten personal and planetary health, and how aligning values with actions can catalyze change across scales-from individuals to collective and systems change.
