Tend

Wildheart S11E9: Time to tend (yourself & the soil)
2

In this week’s episode we chat about tending to ourselves, and also the wider ecosystem of community and the earth.

Why have we chosen to talk about tending?

  • There is a slowing of the season/year - we’re nurturing what’s already come into being rather than pushing for new growth

  • We can see the Summer Solstice as an invitation to pause and take stock - to tend to ourselves, our needs, our desires

  • At the same time, we’re anticipating harvest season and the tending that comes with this time of ripening and gathering

What do we chat about?

  • Why it’s time to slow down and pay attention after the ‘quickening’ and ‘flourishing’ phases of the year

  • Directing our resources - both in terms of physical resources (money etc) but also mental/emotional resources (time, thought/awareness, attention, effort, love/care)

  • Considering how we can mother ourselves in the ways we need - taking responsibility for our own development, wellbeing and safety

  • Avoiding the societal trap of continual striving
