Bending, Not Breaking
Best for: weathering what you did not put down
A practice for the particular tiredness that arrives after something hard, the tiredness of having held. Through the image of a tree in wind, this session honours the quiet, unseen effort of bending: the work of staying standing when rigidity would break you. You will be guided gently through breath and reflection, meeting the shape you are in without needing to fix or perform anything. Nothing here asks you to bounce back, only to notice what you have carried.
