For us, truly, there are no "surroundings."
I can lose my hands and still live. I can lose my legs and still live. I can lose my eyes and still live. . . . But if I lose the air I die. If I lose the sun I die. If I lose the earth I die. If I lose the water I die. If I lose the plants and animals I die. All of these things are more a part of me, more essential to my every breath, than is my so-called body. What is my real body?
We are not autonomous, self-sufficient beings as European mythology teaches. . . . We are rooted just like the trees. But our roots come out of our nose and mouth, like an umbilical cord, forever connected with the rest of the world. . . .
Nothing that we do, do we do by ourselves. We do not see by ourselves. We do not hear by ourselves. . . . We do not think, dream, invent, or procreate by ourselves. We do not die by ourselves. . . .
I am a point of awareness, a circle of consciousness, in the midst of a series of circles. One circle is that which we call “the body.” It is a universe itself, full of millions of little living creatures living their own “separate” but dependent lives. . . . But all of these “circles” are not really separate—they are all mutually dependent upon each other.

Resonance is more than just a feeling—it’s the rhythm of understanding that pulses between individuals, groups, and entire systems. It’s what happens when we truly attune to one another, creating a sense of psychological safety, belonging, and transformation. Whether in the therapy room or within organizations, resonance fosters the conditions for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
In therapy, resonance is the undercurrent of deep listening and presence. It’s what allows clients to feel truly seen, heard, and understood—opening the door to self-exploration, integration, and healing. It’s the bridge between nervous system regulation and emotional insight, where trust is cultivated and change becomes possible.
In organizations, resonance is what turns workplaces into communities. It shapes cultures where innovation thrives, leadership is relational, and inclusion is more than a policy—it’s embodied. When leaders and teams operate in resonance, they create environments where ideas flow freely, conflict transforms into collaboration, and systemic change is not just aspirational, but achievable.
At Resonance LLC, we harness the science and soul of connection, helping individuals and organizations move beyond surface-level engagement into deeper alignment and transformation.
