Can we re-learn to rest?
Deciphering the modern mystery of true regeneration for city dwellers.
How important is regeneration to you?
This is a hot topic. A widely discussed topic.
How many of us go through life

The need for real rest and regeneration is possibly one of the most overlooked needs of humanity at this time. And a need that is growing in our
Rarely, if ever does modern man and society give space for what would be considered real regeneration.
Starting in childhood human beings around the globe are packed into systems within which we are required to function and perform. In places like Berlin, the never-ending playground of attractions leaves the mind full and cartwheeling with impressions.
The body is simultaneously being presented with an ever increasing level of environmental toxins in daily life, starting with the air that we breathe, continuing with the foods that we eat (and not everything human beings consume today may even still be classified as classical food), and ending with the massive amounts of chemicals present in almost every area of our modern lives.
What would regeneration actually mean?

I met a woman in the Italian mountains once, she was glowing with health and vitality. Her eyes were sparkling. In our conversation it became clear that she had been living in these mountains her entire life, walking every day. The difference in her whole physical and mental state of being was palpable. One does not find this kind of human being in the cities. How can we recapture and regain a higher quality of life living in urban environments?

Regeneration as a stepping stone to our dreams
Because we have been filled up to the brim with ideas,
Just as nature functions in cycles, so do we. Regeneration and rest are just as necessary as the active parts of life are. The question is – do we truly allow as much time for rest and regeneration as we do for the active part of life, and secondly, do we even know how to rest in a way that revives us?
