I used to think that I just needed the right supplement or biohack and everything would be sorted.
Maybe another yoga session. Perhaps plant medicine???

𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.

Listening to others and outsourcing my health and wellbeing only served to empty my pockets and to be honest, my soul too.
Not found, more lost. Not resolution, more problems.

Your body is a self healer.
You've got it.
Your body knows what it needs and is telling you in every moment.
We just don't know how to listen.

Here’s what we do instead.
Get to know your organs. Connect to your self healing capacity.
Move and breathe in ways to support YOU, while you build your inner connections.

We set out on the incredible deep + fun wisdom and self healing journey of ORGANwise March 11.

Expect embodied breath, movement & wisdom, over six weeks devoted to you, one organ for each session receiving a tune-in and tune-up so you feel vibrant, connected and empowered in your own self healing capacity.

a great podcast, that gives a view into the impact that the work Natalie and I share can have on you and your body - enjoy 💚

A key comment that Dr Chirstine Smith makes is that instead of listening to our bodies, we gave away responsibility for our health…. this is exactly what we are offering your own experience of in ORGANwise - check the event and sign up if you are keen to connect mroe deeply to your body instead of handing over your autonomy, we start next week Wed 11 March.

In this Breaking Normal conversation, Dr. Christine Smith opens up in ways that go far beyond health data or protocols. Through a series of rapid-fire, curio...

Surprise? no, no surprise to us… well perhaps that a study was needed to see this 😆🥰

There is very little that is healthy or natural about living in a big city, it primarily serves commerce and convenience at the expense of wellbeing. Now, a new study tells us more.

Many people sense intuitively: humans were not designed for the relentless pace and stimulation of modern life. Published in Biological Reviews, the a new study argues that our physiology is still calibrated for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, one built around frequent movement, short-lived stress, and a deep, ongoing relationship with the natural world.

In contrast, the past few centuries of industrialization have immersed us in noise, artificial light, polluted air, microplastics, pesticides, processed foods, and nonstop digital stimulation. Our stress systems are firing the same way they did for our ancestors, but without the natural rhythms of rest and recovery that once balanced them.

The researchers highlight declining fertility rates and the rise of chronic inflammatory illnesses as signs that this evolutionary mismatch is affecting our health. Their conclusion is simple and urgent: if we want to truly thrive, we need to rebuild our environments and daily lives in ways that bring us back into alignment with nature rather than pushing us further away from it.

sometimes

SOMETIMES

Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest,

breathing
like the ones
in the old stories,

who could cross
a shimmering bed
of leaves
without a sound,

you come
to a place
whose only task

is to trouble you
with tiny
but frightening
requests,

conceived out
of nowhere
but in this place
beginning
to lead everywhere.

Requests to stop what
you are doing right now,
and

to stop what you
are becoming
while you do it,

questions
that can make
or unmake
a life,

questions
that have patiently
waited for you,

questions
that have no right
to go away.

…

An early morning chatty drive through the Cotswolds had my companion and I suddenly plunged into silence as we found ourselves on a narrow, twisting road through woodland: all shrouded with a poignant, pervasive and sun saturated mist. I pulled over without a word and in a quiet and mutual understanding, we both got out of the vehicle and walked in opposite directions into the woods. Far into those woods I found myself reciting this piece and then stopping in some wonder to take this photo. Questions that had no right to go away, were inviting me deeper and deeper into the quiet presence of that morning and if I remember, a certain crucial decision that I then resolved about my future.. 'Sometimes'... DW
