Frequently Asked Questions
About Sila
Sila (pronounced SEE-lah) is rooted in traditions that speak to how we live and connect.
In Sanskrit, it reflects ethical living - choices grounded in integrity, awareness, and what is wholesome. In Inuit tradition, it is often understood as the life force that flows through all things, reminding us of our deep connection to one another and the world around us.
At Sila Wellness, the name reflects our belief that well-being is not separate from life - it is how we move through it, in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world we share.
