In a human world that has become a relentless stream of activity, rest has become one of the most radical acts we can take. To return our true connection to our human, and non-human, essence, it is one of the most potent acts we can make.

This conversation explores 'rest' in ordinary and extraordinary ways. Emma B taps into Lorna Bailey's experience as a single mother, a devoted daughter and a seasoned shamanic practitioner.

It covers :-

- The ways we understand and frame life, challenge, transition and crisis

- The effect of our language on our nervous system

- personal and collective trauma burdens of self-reliance and longing

- Surrender and bringing in support

- Cultivating inner spaciousness

- Rest as a portal into body consciousness and into the vastness of existence

This episode was part of the GrowFree Rest to Rise Online Retreat that takes place in the winter months. There are many more seasonal, monthly, and one-off offerings, courses and events in the GrowFree calendar. Including a new trauma-informed, nature-based practitioner and peer training in 2024.
