S8 / E2: Preparation
In this week’s episode we explore the concept of preparation, gathering the threads of summer, taking a breath and observing how we feel, before getting ready for a new season.
Why is exploring the idea of preparation relevant right now?
Early September is connected to a ‘back to school’ societal rhythm - even if we’re no longer in education - igniting thoughts of new shoes and new stationery!
We associate this time of year with ‘squirrel energy’, connected to gathering, foraging, making ready for autumn (stocking up our store cupboards, literally and metaphorically), and gathering our own ‘soul food’ to nourish us in the months ahead.
What do we chat about?
Why the ‘pre-phase’ feels so important
How preparation connects with shedding, release and regeneration
The importance of ‘feeling in’ to a new chapter
Honouring the both/and of being mindfully in the present, and looking ahead
