What We See:
The Disconnected Modern World
In today's fast-paced digital age, many individuals feel isolated, inactive, and without a clear sense of purpose. The constant bombardment of screens and information has led to a disconnection from ourselves, others, and the world around us. This disconnection manifests in several concerning trends:
-
Rising Obesity Rates: Indicating widespread physical inactivity.
-
Mental Health Concerns: Isolation and a lack of purpose contribute significantly to mental health issues.
-
Excessive Screen Time: Correlated with feelings of loneliness and dissatisfaction.
-
Nature Deficit Disorder: A term describing the adverse effects of being disconnected from nature.
This digital overload and urban lifestyle are creating a disconnected, unfulfilled generation. We see the urgent need to reconnect people with themselves, each other, and the world around them.
Who is Affected?
​
While this problem affects people of all ages and backgrounds, it is particularly prevalent among:
​
-
Students and Young Professionals: Spending significant time on social media or electronic devices.
-
Urban Residents: Living in environments with limited access to nature.
-
Individuals Feeling Isolated: Those experiencing a lack of community or social connection.
-
People Lacking Purpose: Struggling to find direction and meaning in their lives.
