S14 / E5: Balance

In this week’s episode of Wildheart we chat about the elusive concept of balance - why it feels like something we should be seeking, why it’s actually so complex, and different approaches that might feel gentler and more fluid. It’s a great listen for this week especially, as the Spring Equinox - a moment of balance in the wild world - is coming up on Friday (20th).

We’d love to know after you’ve listened, what does balance look and feel like for you?

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

• It’s a key theme of the Spring Equinox (coming up 20th March), when night and day are balanced (equal in length)

• Balance is also relevant to the opposition between seasonal (solar) and lunar energy at the moment

• Chatting about balance feels like an important continuation of the themes we’ve been discussing so far this season. In this process of emerging and starting to take more action, how do we stay balanced and avoid burning out?

What do we chat about?

• What balance can mean in relation to growth in the wild world, and in ourselves

• Why we might choose to ‘tilt’ rather than strive for perfect balance

• How actively cultivating imbalance might lead to a greater sense of wellbeing

• What balance looks and feels like in our lives right now
