REFLECTIONS FROM LAUREN HOWE
The Soft Ground
A place for tending to your unfolding
Sometimes we realise that the ways we have learnt to move through the world no longer quite fit. We might find ourselves tired of pushing through, disconnected from our bodies, caught in familiar patterns, or sensing that something within us is asking for a different way.
The Soft Ground is a meeting place for those moments. To land within them and meet them with a curious heart rather than another thing to fix or overcome.
Here I write about somatic therapy, body-led meditation, nervous system awareness, life transitions and our relationship with the natural world, exploring what can become possible when we begin listening to the body rather than always trying to think our way forward.
