2.19 What Happens When We Rest
This is the final episode of Season 2. It features me talking about the reason why I decided to take a sabbatical and make space for REST.
I recorded this prior to the supreme court's further attack on our civil rights and the planet, so there is no mention of the most recent traumas and horrors happening in our country and world. This episode focuses on rest as a practice and the reality that not everyone has the space to rest.
In this episode, I discuss:
My decision to take a sabbatical
The importance of rest
The privilege of being able to rest
How we all deserve to rest
White-bodied folks and reparations for Black people
Finding Refuge, the book
Honeybees
Gardening
Spiritual practice
I do not include my bio here because, well, you know me; instead, I include a request for you to continue to support my work and Finding Refuge.
Finding Refuge: Heart Work for Healing Collective Grief has a birthday on July 31st. It has been out in the world for a year now, and what a year it has been. Thank you for purchasing, sharing, and posting on social media about Finding Refuge. Thank you for showing up in Finding Refuge retreats and making space for yourself to grieve and heal. Thanks for hosting book clubs and using the book club guide as well as the guide for how to wade through the holidays that I created in November of 2021. So many of you have been touched by Finding Refuge, and I have a request. If you haven’t written a review on Amazon and Goodreads, please do. You do not have to have purchased the book on Amazon to write a review there, but if you do write a review on Amazon, it improves the visibility of the book. This past month has shown us that what I offer in Finding Refuge is timeless. There is so much grief to move through and so much healing for us to do. Please write a review and tell your friends about the book. The practices in it are meant to heal our hearts, and I want us all to be able to heal our hearts.
In addition to writing a review for Finding Refuge, the book, you can write a review and rate The Finding Refuge Podcast on iTunes. Season 3 is going to be amazing, and I cannot wait to bring more interviews and healing balm your way.
One more thing, I have several opportunities for online and in-person practice centered around Finding Refuge coming up. Visit my website and subscribe to my newsletter to stay apprised of my upcoming offerings.
I did mention that I would link to a few here:
