The Age of Connection

Jul 17, 2025

Are You Feeling the Shift?

Is it possible we’re living through a quiet but powerful cultural shift—from the Age of Information to the Age of Connection?
Just five years ago, most of us were focused on productivity, optimization, and staying current with the latest information. But something is changing. I see it in myself, my work, and the people around me.

In my decades of guiding people into embodied awareness through mind-body practices, I’ve always known that real transformation begins with connection to self, to others, and to something greater. Now I see the world catching up.

Here are four signs we may be entering the Age of Connection:
·      Embodiment Is Becoming Mainstream
Leadership, education, and mental health are increasingly embracing practices that invite us back into our bodies—and thus, into presence and deeper relationship.
·      Relationships Are Being Revalued
Many of us are placing far greater importance on family, friendship, and community than we did pre-2020. The hunger for authentic connection is undeniable.
·      Purpose and Meaning Trump Raw Data
We’re less interested in gathering more information and more drawn to shared stories, values, and visions that resonate with our hearts.
·      Wholeness Is the New Metric of Success
Success is no longer defined by output alone—it includes well-being, belonging, and alignment with something bigger than us.

I’m personally more attuned to my relationships than ever before, giving greater value to the connections and meaningful moments and letting them guide my choices. To explore this further, join me at Kripalu over the weekend of September 5-7 for Deepening Your Relationship with your partner through embodied practices.
