The Heart Is a Divine Dreamer: Rest - a podcast by Kathryn Fink

We reckon with the tension between the summer’s energetic current of ripening and maturing, alongside the fatigue many of us are struggling within right now—and not just because of the heat. For support, we look to traditional rites of rest, Poppy, dreaming gods, and Bat.

PART ONE||0:03|| Prelude
||4:35|| Intro and diary||6:49|| The tension between summer’s energetic current of ripening and maturing, alongside the fatigue many of us are struggling within right now—and not just because of the heat. We look to traditional rites of rest, then take a moment to explore what’s going on in our mind-body systems when we rest, and when we don’t.
