Creating a Culture of Well-Being
Juliete Palenshus |
TEDxRoseburg
• April 2021
With well-being on a downtrend in communities across the country, holding steady is considered a success. But what about reversing the trend? Through inspiration from her personal experience, grassroots community health transformations, research on the longest living populations around the world, and lived experience from individuals throughout her community, Juliete makes challenging a community’s health destiny and creating a new culture of well-being practical! Her work profits off of healing and wellness instead of sickness and exploitation. In her talk, she describes the layers of wellness that come together to create a cultural shift, like nudges at the physical level across sectors, living “on purpose”, authentic relationships, and beyond. Each individual can contribute and reap the benefits of vibrancy and longevity, but also the fruits of service and inspiring others. Creating a culture of well-being can start with one inspired individual, then two, and ripples out from there until a tipping-point is reached. In rural Oregon, and in communities across North America, learn how the downward trend is reversing and communities are learning how to thrive.
