Micro-Dosing the Mystery

This is a fun one friends. We invite on our fellow mystic nymph, herbalist, and lover of chickens, Steph Hardie, to jam on what self-care looks like when we broaden our lens.  We explore:  Why we feel it’s important to move from the tunnel vision/naval gazing of self care to caring about community How our patterns within interpersonal relationships mirror pattern with inner relationships How self care changes when we challenge the concept of “other” and feel into the mystery of “we are part AND whole” How “gap gazing” creates a fixation on “not enoughness” which inherently limits our potential How we each “micro-dose the mystery” to help us ride life’s waves and digest what can’t be known If you want to join all three of us on retreat this fall, register here! https://www.wildessence.org/samhainsanctum [https://www.wildessence.org/samhainsanctum] Connect with Chrissy over at: www.theartofaliveness.com Connect with Jessi over at: www.wildessence.org Connect with Steph over at: https://www.gateandgardenherbals.com

When you'd rather be a Bridge Troll

In the episode, Chrissy and Jessi explore the tension between desires for rest and the desire to be creative. They reflect on how their experience with wonder has shifted from childhood to adulthood, and muse on how they navigate moments when they'd rather just be living under a bridge. They emphasize the importance of valuing one’s inherent being over productivity and the desire to feel worthy independent of output. They also discuss the importance support containers have been in their lives and what investing in themselves in looking like lately.

Analog Aliveness

In this episode, Chrissy tells a story about a big mistake she made that woke her up to ways she needed to change her relationship to her phone. Both her and Jessi then explore: • How childhood conditioning around mistakes impacts our ability to repair and make big commitments  • The line between compassion, protective denial, and personal responsibility around addressing scary or potential problems • The challenges that arise when you put boundaries on digital life, especially when your livelihood is linked to online systems  • The benefits of doing so and systems that can help • How we can tell if we're engaging in self care from a protective part or our Deep Self • Small ways to savor and reclaim analog moments • Being the change we crave without getting sick in the process Join or get replay access to Chrissy's Analog Aliveness class here: https://theartofaliveness.thrivecart.com/analog-aliveness/ Or join her monthly membership for access to this class and so much more in the realm of holistic, Spacious living: https://theartofaliveness.thrivecart.com/the-spacious-place/ To follow Jessi and support her work in the world, go to: www.wildessence.org https://www.eternalrootsvillage.com
