Healing Octopus is about being deliberate in the digital world and falling in love with the real world. To me this means being intentional with using screens and to focus on creating and nurturing connections in the actual world.
One of my efforts towards this mission is to offer Free Hugs octopus shirts and buttons and other items, so we can give and receive hugs and contact out in the wild. I've had a number of magical interactions when I've put myself out there and I want others to do the same. Not everyone gets to experience a heart-felt hug so this feels very important to me.
I'm working on stickers and other merch as well!
Some of my other efforts include making resource pages on the following topics:
- Finding in-person people, uplifting events, and communities, in the context of natural health, food, freedom, and truth
- Using technology responsibly, including "digital addiction" and distraction and social media usage
- Using less creepy or invasice technology
- Some other related topics...
I'm slowly building out this site as things come up so it's very barebones at the moment. Subscribe to my email newsletter below to get early updates when I have new things to show you!
Thanks for joining me on this journey,
David
