I want to offer something to anyone who's been giving a lot lately — to movements, to family, to work, to the endless demands of keeping up with a world that feels increasingly unstable.
On Sunday, I went for a walk and as I cam to a clearing where the sun was breaking through the clouds, I laid down on the earth. Not to do anything. Not to process or practice. Just to receive.
And something happened -My whole body began to relax in this most beautiful way — not the kind of relaxing we do on a mat or a couch, but something deeper. A dissolving. The boundary between my body and the ground beneath me just softened, and for a little while I felt completely held. Completely part of it all.
That's what the earth offers when we let her.
The forest gives back. Not metaphorically — actually. And Rooted & Rising on May 2nd is partly just that — a dedicated day to let nature do her work on you. To receive the love of the living world without having to earn it or explain why you need it.
You're allowed to be nourished.
