The great lesson of the pandemic is about our relationship with death. The loss of a loved one, the accompanying grief and fear of our own death are highly emotive states. The inevitability of death means that we must at some point reconcile our relationship with mortality. How do we face death? Death has been […]
In the two days since I last posted (the domain expired and I had to ask my trusty business partner to renew it). I did almost a two day juice fast. I’m currently on a breathwork course to become a facilitator (of which more later), and the desire, and eating in my post cycling world […]
