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.
We’d love to know after you’ve listened, what does resistance mean or feel like for you? Let us know in the comments!
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
