What is resilience?
”To us, resilience means that we continually try to rethink and reshape our lives where possible or necessary. It also means that we realise that everything is interconnected. We can’t see ourselves as separate from the rest of the living world.
Individual
For individuals, it is closely linked to the way health can more completely be defined: “The ability of humans to adapt and to self-manage in the face of physical, emotional and social challenges of life.”
Community
On a community level “resilience is related to processes and skills that result in good community health outcomes, in spite of negative events, serious threats and hazards.”
Systems
On a systems level it can be defined as: “the capacity of an ecosystem to tolerate disturbance without collapsing to a qualitative different state. It describes the degree to which the system is capable of self-organization, learning and adaptation”.

Dynamics and adaptations are essential for resilience; keeping your internal balance, despite changing conditions around you.
NOURISH
The physical body needs nutrients to survive, but food and nutrition play a much bigger role in our lives.
MOTION
The human body is made to move; life is not static and therefore change is inevitable.
SELF
Humans flourish when they can lead a meaningful life, which can imply something different for everyone.
