Connection is recognizing, valuing, and navigating one’s interdependence with others, nature, and worlds beyond the self. 

There are three key components of Connection:

1. Social Connection:
   Intimate and mutually caring relationships with other people 
2. Nature Connection:
   Connecting to and embracing the natural world
3. Transcendent Connection:
   Appreciation for and a sense of connection with worlds beyond the self

Your well-being and potential are interdependent with that of all living beings and the natural environment, and both positive social relationships and feeling a part of something beyond the self predict greater happiness, health, and meaning.
