The most urgent act is stillness.
“In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.” — Pico Iyer
We are living in the myth of fast.
Have you felt the current? The pull away from your own centre? The endless doing. The rush of moving through the days. The emails and pings from social media that distract us. The urgency of endless deadlines. The constant hum of must do, have, be this now?
Have you breathed through reading this, or were you perhaps holding your breath?
As a mother and woman living in this culture, my story used to be one of putting others first too.
Even when I needed rest.
Even when I needed space to be with my breath.
Even when I needed to nourish myself first.
This is why I created Woven — a space where you can find the practices and rituals that will walk alongside you back into that place of stillness, again and again 🌿
