What is Safety?

To us Safety matters so much because it's presence &/or absence effects our capacity for connection so directly. when we are able to cultivate Safety we are more capable of connecting deeply with ourselves & those whom we love & care about.

But that's not the whole story...

If we desire to nurture & develop our capacity for connection we have to to be able to recognize, acknowledge & accept when our bodies are feeling Unsafe. When we don't we run a very real risk of causing harm both to ourselves & those we are in relationship with.

When we are Unsafe in ourselves we are Unsafe. Period.

We recognize that for many Lack-of-Safety is constant, consistent & often ignored/suppressed/by-passed (by necessity or otherwise). We've witnessed time & time again how this reality creates cycles of harm in bodies, minds & relationships at both small & large scales.

We know that an important step to changing this reality in supportive ways has to be one of cultivating awareness of the states of Safety & Lack-of-Safety. We need to build our capacity to recognize what contributes to our states of Safety, Lack-of-Safety & the changes from one toward the other. The Safety Wheel™ is a tool designed to support us in tracking the nuance of these dynamic states in tangible ways.
