In this week’s episode of Wildheart we explore the complexities of resistance: what it means for us, and how and what we might choose to resist. We also explore how resistance connects to beliefs, values and conditioning - the internal narratives we all hold that shape what we think and how we act.

Why have we chosen to talk about the word ‘resist’?

* So far this season we’ve talked about awakening and revealing - so as a continuation of that process of gradual emergence, we thought it would make sense to talk about how and why it can feel hard.

* In recent conversations we’ve also been touching a little on the state of the world at the moment and how disheartening and overwhelming it can feel - so we also thought it might be helpful to consider the flip side of resistance (as a positive thing rather than a negative) in the sense of pushing back and standing our ground in the face of it all.

What do we talk about?

* What it means to go against the grain and walk a wilder pathway

* Why pushing or fighting back is deeply connected to the process of rewilding

* The need for courage when faced with choices that do not align with what we truly want

* How we can often resist something that might actually be a good thing but feels hard, scary or overwhelming
