“At the heart of it, I believe our crisis of pace is actually the result of us masking our disconnection from ourselves, our surroundings and the earth with our busyness. This disconnection is a threat to our connection to self, each other, and our pleasure.”

“Pleasure practice Think of an example of when you get shocked and freeze. Like when you drop something, if someone honks at you, or when someone surprises or frightens you. These are small examples of when our bodies shift states very rapidly, and we can sometimes feel stuck in that state even though we know we’re now safe. Next time, try shaking your body like a wet dog, laughing it off, or moving in a way that can allow your body to bring in some movement. This is you practising shifting nervous system states! You’re doing it! This section will offer you even more options for shifting these states.”

“I believe we’re experiencing a crisis of pace. This is a collective challenge, and a White colonial agenda, capitalism, extraction and seeking safety. Collectively, we're on a quest for constant acceleration and productivity, always rushing towards the next shiny, immediate and instantly gratifying thing. We glorify hustle culture, and accept this as our collective fate, the price of keeping up with the rat race. Sure, working hard can create brilliance, but treating it as the modus operandi can cost us our connection to our body and our selves. Busyness is lauded as a measure of our self-worth and importance. Instead, we could practise talking about our pleasure and mutually encouraging others in their pleasure, rather than defaulting to talking about our busyness when asked what we’ve been doing.”
