When couples struggle to practice buen vivir principles in their relationship

My partner and I want to live according to buen vivir principles but we keep falling back into extractive patterns with each other and our community. We say we want reciprocity and collective wellbeing but then we compete over who's doing more emotional labor or who gets to rest, and we can't seem to find the rhythm of mutual care that feels sustainable.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people committed to indigenous wisdom find themselves trapped in the very competitive, individualistic patterns they're trying to heal from.
