Deep dives

Cultivating Chosen Family

Cultivating chosen family involves developing connections with people who share your belief system and values, even if you haven't met them. These chosen family members can play a key role in your life and provide a sense of kinship. By setting the intention to prioritize and attract people who align with your fundamental beliefs, you can create your own family culture, different from any existing family culture. Building chosen family is a gradual process that can involve individual relationships or joining groups with shared interests or experiences.

Kristine Klussman specialized in Health Psychology (Behavioral Medicine) at Harvard Medical School, then founded and ran the Health Psychology program and post-doctoral training programs at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. She found her work with cancer and cardiac patients inspiring, uplifiting, and humbling. She found so many of those going through life-threatening illness were - sometimes for the first time in their lives - absolutely clear what truly mattered to them: authenticity and connection. In 2016, she founded a non-profit to focus full-time on trying to understand, explain and teach what she now believes is the single most meaningful and rewarding aspect of our existence.
