Let me share with you The OT Lifestyle Movement Manifesto that I wrote a little while ago. It captures our purpose, values and vision. I hope it resonates.
“It starts with us. Unearthing our passions and purpose to follow our true north and authentically align with work that truly matters.
We shine a spotlight on the real stories and occupational needs of everyday people. We illuminate the potential for others, when they can’t see it for themselves.
We’re insatiably curious. We prioritse a person’s wholeness. Their story. Their beliefs. Their culture. Their life. And we listen with an open heart and mind.
We believe in and advocate for a back-to-basics approach to living well; real food, meaningful movement, connection, rest and nature intertwined with purpose.
We see things differently. We view old problems with a new set of lenses. We empower people to live their life, their way. And it’s through meaningful occupation that we are creating the most profound impact on an individual, a family, a community, a nation, and the planet.
We’re the truth seekers and trail blazers.
The innovators and collaborators.
The heart workers and hope dealers.
We come together as a profession and as a community of game changers and visionaries, who are vulnerable enough to say that we don’t have all the answers but brave enough to step into the arena and create the epic change we seek in the world – one occupation at a time.”
