We are part of one living system.​ Symbiotika explores the relationships that connect us to each other, to nature, and to the world around us — and what becomes possible when we begin to live with that understanding.
The microbe lives within the human.
The human lives within the family.
The family lives within the land.
The land lives within the planet.
The planet lives within the cosmos.
And all of it lives within God.
Life within life. This is at the heart of Symbiotika.

Nothing exists entirely on its own. Our bodies are living ecosystems.

Our families are part of communities.

Our communities depend upon the land, and the land upon larger systems still.

The same pattern repeats at every scale. Each thing is itself,

while also belonging to something greater.

Symbiotika is an attempt to understand these relationships — and to ask how we might live more harmoniously within them.

Our mission is to help make this interconnectedness visible, and to encourage ways of living rooted in greater care, reciprocity, cooperation and belonging.

Because when we stop seeing ourselves as separate from life, we begin to relate to it differently.

Your habitat is not outside of you -
It is an extended organ of your own body.
See reality at another scale. Explore Nested Worlds
"Our mission is to make these relationships visible—and explore how living with that awareness changes what we create, protect and care for.""
