Welcome to episode 33 of the Nurtured by Nature podcast, today I’m delighted to be joined in conversation by Phiomène from rural Brittany in France.
In this inspiring episode we discuss her passion for cultivating a more mindful, creative, healthier and sustainable lifestyle. She shares how her journey has been inspired by her love of creativity, the varied places she has called home and how a return to her rural roots in France created the space for her story to evolve. She shares her insights on embracing the seasons to shape our lives and behaviour, creating rituals and awareness for the opportunities and wisdom they each bring, including her love of slowing down and cozying up in winter beside the fire, to knit with a cup of spiced chai tea.
Our conversation meanders through a shared vision for supporting women, our communities and ultimately our society to consider ways of growing in a new direction and redefining our current paradigm. From looking at where we source our food to the incredible wisdom the journey of homeschooling her children has given her, we consider the role of education and the space for co-creation that becomes available when we give value to everyone’s voices.
Philomène shares the gentle but important reminder that it’s ok, that we don’t have to be perfect, we don’t have to do everything and that in each small step we take, the seeds of the next step can germinate if we have the courage to slow down and be patient with ourselves and others.
