FAR OUT #86 ~ Rest as a Revolutionary Act

Episode Description

What's rest got to do with it? Quite a lot actually.

Alasdair and Julie-Roxane explore the power of rest through the framework of the four seasons. Julie-Roxane shares her experience learning to embody her cyclicality and how those lessons have permeated and influenced most areas of her life.

Your cohosts also explore the way our current society has lost touch with the rhythms of nature and why learning to connect to them is such a radical (and liberating) thing to do in our modern age.

Let's get into it!

• The role of rest in our wellness and creative projects

• Julie-Roxane’s recent decision to embrace cyclicality in her work

• Why embracing rest is such a radical thing to do in our modern society

• The power of looking at our lives through the lens of the four seasons
