Those of us who have been in the integrative health field know that health is much more than a symptom, disease, illness, or disability. These are the physical manifestations of the world around us and the world within us. The science of epigenetics now validates much of what we have observed and experienced as integrative health providers and practitioners, and as informed human beings. Our new scientific discoveries in health and medicine, our evolving knowledge of the environment, the growing diversity of people, and the political and economic landscape are the separate parts of a dynamic and complicated whole that many say is on the verge of crisis. Integrative leaders have an opportunity to impact all of these social and human components. Whether society moves in the direction of wholeness or fragmentation and disease will be determined by the wholeness of those who lead. It requires a dramatically different way of “being” in those who lead. I believe now is the time for integrative leadership—it is our social imperative.
