In the blink of an eye our world turned upside down. Many people have lost their jobs or are in new positions they never expected, grandparents can’t see grandchildren and isolation means some people really are living totally alone. And while some of these things are manageable in the short-term, we have to consider the…
At this point in mankind’s evolution and at the start of a new decade we are working hard on building community to make change in our world: physically in our towns and villages, as parents and in families, and in a big way online, extending the reach of community globally. The power of the people…
There are many levels and kinds of trauma which can impact on an individual. Anything from sexual abuse or domestic violence to a car accident, difficult childbirth (for both mother and child) or bullying at work.

But these days we’ll often also be talking about detoxing vaccines, drugs (recreational and pharmaceutical), Roundup and industrial chemicals, and often this will also include chelating heavy metals and high copper.
