Rewild Retreats… Retreat Within & Renew
In the Hopi language, the word koyaanisqatsi means “life out of balance”. Over four decades ago Godfrey Reggio created a non-narrative film based on this idea, depicting different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature and technology.
It could be said that while our culture champions individuation as a principle, it endeavours to make it as difficult as possible for us to do so.
Having moved into an era where the number of hours spent at work steadily climbs, scientists speak about the permanent state of jet-lag experienced by more than half the population.
The combined effects of reduced daylight from working indoors and greater exposure to artificial light in the evenings has led to a weakening of our body clocks and our ability to harmonise them. Struggling to wake in the morning, we come to rely on caffeine to jump-start us, resort to nicotine to us get through the day, before depending on alcohol or pills to help us sleep.
It becomes hard to question how functional our modern working lives are, let alone muster the energy to change them, when we are just trying to get through the day in a state of semi-exhaustion and disconnection.
The ache for home lives in all of us. — Maya Angelou

~ Carl Jung
