Sounds like a great plan.

I’m very interested in the rebellious living theme as one who is exhausted from swimming against the tide.

Sending you lots of healing vibes. Love this comment & topic: 'I want to explore what it looks like to opt out of the status quo and stand firm in our counter-cultural choices'. I too am finding it tricky to be myself in my actions, without people stereotyping me e.g., as a hippie or greenie, or judging me for hibernating or being subversive xo

Taking time to care for yourself is a rebellious and courageous act in our culture that values non-stop productivity. When you tilt into taking time to heal, you give others the opportunity to learn how to do that as well. When you show yourself care, you allow others to show themselves care too. You're doing the work of a change agent Brooke and I'm ever so grateful to walk alongside you.

Sending Love all the way from the Salish Sea

p.s. and I'm giving myself permission to rest tomorrow and reset my sense of well-being after a bit of a topsy-turvy time. Thank you.

Enjoy your time-off! I am already very excited for the „rebellious living“ theme. After a recent move, I am thinking a lot about in which areas I want to live against mainstream and where I want to adapt to my new and surprisingly different environment. I‘m sure reading about it on The Tortoise will be very inspiring. Sending love and healing vibes <3

I love that you're continuing to take the time for yourself to heal. I'm intrigued by the slow workshop series and the rebellious living. Can't wait to learn more.

I love that you are taking this time Brooke. Please don't feel guilty (although I understand this completely!). I feel like we need to all stand together and shout, 'enough'!! Let's stop living lives where we push ourselves to our limit and start listening instead to our inner voice, our intuition. I often think of how much we can learn from nature in this respect. Sending love your way 💚
