A Taste of Rest: Coming Home to Your Unhurried Body in Community
A mid-week check in: a short guided practice to soften, root into presence, and explore the textures of an unhurried body — together in community.
This week, Adrien and I hosted our very first community Rest Session, and I recorded it for you.
At the start of the session, I shared how my aim is to bring ritual to rest. I recently heard Stephen Jenkinson say that rituals are not about affirming what already exists, but about calling into being something that is not here yet, something that requires us to gather and tend to it together.
Unhurried bodies are not common in our dominant cultures today. Which is why rest needs ritual. It needs practice. It needs rhythm. And doing so in the presence of others magnifies it. When we slow down together, our nervous systems resonate, a quiet, invisible exchange called limbic resonance. It is how we remind one another that stillness is here, that we are not alone in choosing differently, and that living unhurried is possible.
In this short recording, I guide you through an orientation practice, a simple way to bring awareness to the stillness already present in your environment. It is a powerful way to explore what your unhurried body feels like, in contrast to your hurried self. A gentle invitation to pause, soften, and arrive more fully in yourself.
Why share this here?Because I believe we need spaces like this, places where our bodies can rest together, where we can explore who we are unfolding to become, and where we can remember that we do not have to walk this path alone.
This recording is a taster of the Unhurried Life Community, our new gathering place for those who are longing for:
* A safe, steady place to land in your body and your truth
* Companionship with others who are reimagining life outside the rush of dominant currents
* Conversations and practices that weave together body, land, and community
* A tribe where belonging feels natural, where you don’t need to perform
If this practice stirs something in you, you are warmly invited to join us here:Join the Unhurried Life Community
* Membership is just $5/month, giving you access to our ongoing live gatherings:Monthly Rest Sessions, practices to slow down, regulate, and return home to yourself
* Thematic Conversations & Workshops, exploring together what it means to live unhurried: from parenting to money, from food to community
And if you cannot join live, you will always have access to the recordings.
Our next live gathering takes place on Monday, September 29 at 13:00 CET, and we would love to meet you there.
