Softness and the Season of Repose

Nursing a cracked rib amidst the hustle and bustle of life was a stark reminder the importance of resting and reflecting. In a world that often demands a protective stance, leaning in to rigidity can eventually lead to a shattering break. Let's navigate how these experiences can reframe our understanding of brittleness, rigidity, tenderness, and softness during the period between Samhain and Winter Solstice.

Even in the harshest and most unyielding of times, there is a crucial need for softness and tenderness. In this podcast, Karina asks us to challenge the relentless pursuit of productivity, and instead surrender the necessity of vulnerability and rest. These winter months signify not just the holiday season, but a time for inner retrospection, to live in the stillness of the moment and dream of the future. A time to be gentle with ourselves and to make a commitment to self-care.
