We imagine a culture of wellness beyond separation, supremacy, and scarcity, where all of us have what we need to thrive on our own terms and experience the full, joyful interdependence of our humanity.

We are a society obsessed with personal wellness. We see this in jam-packed yoga studios, crowded organic food stores, and multibillion-dollar brands. 

But many people are struggling to survive, much less be well.

CTZNWELL is committed to democratizing wellbeing for everyone. We do that by confronting the systemic barriers that are in the way of people being well (like white supremacy, economic injustice, lack of access to healthcare/housing) and creating the social, cultural and political conditions where everyone can thrive. 

Through content creation, courageous conversations, and direct action, CTZNWELL bridges emerging allies into greater political consciousness and skill so that they can show up with courage, compassion, and consciousness for what matters most.

Theory of Change

 

Our theory of change begins with people. Through practice, community, and action, we transform ourselves and restructure our world to create the conditions where everyone can be well on their own terms.

We engage in deep transformational work around our values, and are led through relationship to justice issues like anti-racism, abortion rights, immigration, climate, food systems, living wage, and more. We partner with campaigns led by the people most directly impacted by injustice and respond in conscious and creative disruption and reimagination of our world. We aspire to move and unify our community at a scale that will have an impact at a systemic and global level.

Shared Values

 

  • Fundamental belonging: We support radical inclusion and open borders.

  • Inherent dignity: We fight for BIPOC and LGBTQ lives and center the voices of the most marginalized.

  • Mutual responsibility: We believe that we are interdependent and all play a powerful role in collective liberation and wellbeing.

  • Sufficiency not scarcity: We believe in mutual and cooperative economies and reject capitalist culture that rewards some at the expense of others.

  • Radical generosity: We believe in reparations and what’s necessary to heal and dismantle the wounds of white supremacy and other systems of oppression.

  • Wild agency: We celebrate self determination and choice.

  • Compassionate action: We invest in civil disobedience and the lineage of non-violent resistance.
