“The truth is we are not wired to do life alone. It is deeply in our bones to be within community, to sit around the fire sharing and listening to stories of life lived, to be an integral part of a flourishing system, to rest in an energy of belonging. We have lost the structure of the village in our modern day world, and yet we are still wired to function in this way. Whilst for many of us it is not possible (perhaps yet) to reinstate the energy and support of the village, we can create ways in which to bring elements of its holding into our lives. Finding ways to nurture family, friendship, groups, communities, relationships with elders. Seeking support and guidance from wise and heart centred therapists, mentors, coaches, facilitators, healers. Opening up conversations with other humans, to connect with and share in our raw humanness.” - Mathilda Littlehales @with.mathilda 📷 @rochellehumes
