“I think it’s a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. That there isn’t their life and our life. Nor your life and my life. That it’s just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled with it as deep as entanglement goes.”

Here, at Interbeing, we believe in building a mutually supportive community.
Each year, we endeavour to devote our resources (i.e., monetary or otherwise) to two causes that are close to our hearts - a non-human and a human cause. Read more about the two causes that we have selected for this year.
Lifting each other up

Nature, well-being and conservation
Many of us intuitively recognise the sense of ease that can arise from spending time in nature. Whether it is a walk beneath a canopy of trees, the sound of birdsong in the background, or moments spent near water, encounters with the natural world can offer a welcome respite from the demands of daily life. Increasingly, psychological research suggests that these experiences are more than simply pleasant, they may play a meaningful role in supporting mental health and wellbeing.

Supporting Children Through Early Adversity
Childhood experiences can have a profound influence on how we come to understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. When children are exposed to adversity such as abuse, neglect, loss, or instability, the effects can extend beyond the immediate circumstances, shaping emotional, social, and developmental pathways in ways that may persist over time.
