Frameworks.

A model that aims to offer new lenses to identify and activate "healstates".

By ”Healstate" we mean a state or condition of unmet healing needs that a person, group, organisation or ecosystem may experience. From a system point of view it can be thought as a nexus, where new practices can help bring healing to ourselves, our communities and/or the planet. 

Healstates do not only have local effects, they can also radiate across parts of the system through virtuous loops given the importance and interconnectedness of wellness, social, and environmental factors in promoting overall health and well-being.

More specifically: 

• At the personal scale, healstates point to ways to improve the state of health and wellness of an individual, encompassing physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being, as well as social and environmental factors that affect health.

• At the social level, healstates refer to ways to improve the well-being of a community or society, encompassing social cohesion, equity, justice, and access to resources and services that promote health and well-being.

• Zooming out to the planetary plan, healstates refer to ways to support biodiversity, ecosystem services, environmental quality and regenerative dynamics.
