In this episode, Debbie engages in conversation with Zilli, who began to focus on her well-being when the pandemic opened up her work schedule. Through this she recognised the importance of self-care and now lives by the principle of saying yes to opportunities that present themselves.
Through this she has re-connected with her creativity, engaging in studying Druidry, belly dancing, and participating in a drumming circle.
Zilli emphasises the importance of connecting with nature and the seasons and how this can be used for storytelling. She also discusses the benefits of belonging to a community and supporting one another’s growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are parallels between different healing modalities and belief systems from around the world.
- Storytelling is an important way of passing on messages and gaining understanding.
- The cycles within nature mirror the cycles that we experience in life.
- As we learn and grow, we can re-visit things and can look at them from a deeper level.
- Our beliefs belong to us but are not us and therefore we can release them if they no longer serve us.
- Through studying different practices and healing modalities you release unhelpful patterns from your body and energy.
- Community can provide love and support and human connection.
BEST MOMENTS
- "Walking through the seasons of the year, which is really nice because it makes you stop and pause and think.”
- “Being able and willing to admit that you don't know it all and it, life is a continuous learning journey. Every day is a school day, as I like to say.”
- “When a member of their community’s done something wrong, they sit them in the middle of the circle, and they give them love and support and encouragement and they tell them good things about themselves because the idea is that there's been an absence of love or something they've needed.”
- “You sit there in the dark and you give thanks, you give gratitude, but you can also give away parts of yourself that you no longer want attachment with.”
- “I've had a profound few months of just sort of digging back through my psyche and figuring out, you know, why am I the way that I am? What, what things have held me back? Why, where am I holding myself back?”
- “It's so nice to make your own community, bringing like-minded people together so you've got that space and wisdom from elders.”
