S14 / E1: Awaken

We’re back with a brand new season of the Wildheart podcast! We’ve got some new music, a new look, and we’re ready to rewild a whole new set of words with you this spring.

In this first episode we explore the theme of awakening, discuss the importance of being aware of ourself and the world around us, and emphasise the need for gentle activism and an interconnected approach to life. The conversation delves into the complexities of awakening, including the challenges and heartaches that come with it, while also highlighting the beauty and potential for growth that arises from this process.

We invite you to embrace your own journeys of awakening and to let us know what this process looks and feels like for you!

Why have we chosen to talk about the word ‘awaken’?

• It feels particularly apt with the coming of spring and the awakening of the wild world.

• Alongside this there is an ongoing heaviness in the world, and a desperate need for change. In these times we need to be ‘awake’ to what’s going on around us, and to the vision of the life and society that we want to be a part of.

What do we chat about?

• How awakening can be impacted by seasonal change and the lunar cycle.

• The process of awakening: from gentle awareness, to gentle action, to gentle activism.

• Why awakening through a wild lens also means challenging the system and our societal conditioning.

• Why community and self-care are both crucial to support your own awakening.
