Pleasure is doing what feels good and feels like self and collective love. It is not about harm and excess and numbing. It’s about accepting ourselves AS Nature with a connection TO Nature. So when I want to hug a tree, I do.

I’ve been exploring the seven types of rest: physical, mental, emotional, social, sensory, creative and spiritual. With these in mind I’ve planned my winter break differently - loosely scheduling my days for connection/disconnection, spaciousness, and proactive planning rather than catching up.
