Wildheart S11E10: Find ease in drifting

In this week’s episode we chat about what it means to drift, both in terms of the season and in our lives.

Why have we chosen to talk about drifting?

  • We’re now moving into late summer, whcih can be a time of year when all our structures and routines start to stretch, loosen or even dissolve completely.

  • It can feel very much like a season of floating or flowing, especially when the weather is as hot as it has been across much of the UK recently!

  • There’s something quite soothing about the word ‘drift’ - as though it’s a slower, softer state of being; a kind of loosening that feels good rather than scary.

What do we chat about?

  • Whether drifting is aimless, rooted, or both

  • Drifting as a phase of change and transformation, and its essential role in the wider cycles of the year and of our lives

  • How drifting can help us to loosen our grip and trust the unfolding of our lives

  • Why drifting is connected to rest without (or with less) guilt, as well as dreaming, imagination and re-invention
