Why Community Matters More Than Ever Right Now
Why Community Matters More Than Ever Right Now
Modern life has made us more connected than ever — and yet many of us still feel deeply disconnected. This is a reflection on loneliness, nervous systems, togetherness, and why I started creating slower, softer community spaces through our Big Love Together.
A story of disconnection
Let me tell you a story… About 5 years ago I started practising mindfulness, in a small way every day because I needed something to focus my mind on and help cultivate more positive thoughts. My internal chatter had become pretty challenging and it was hard to silence the negative self-talk especially at night, I was unhappy but didn’t think I had any justification for feeling the way I did.
(The) Big Love Movement
Big Love is about creating a positive change in how people think, speak and feel about mental health, their own and other people's well-being. The word Movement relates not only to the movement of the physical body but within society; a shift in perspective, a change in how we see things as a collective and a way to challenge the stigma around mental health. This is a mission and a life’s work and it started as a page in a journal…
‘I want to build a community where I can create a positive change for people’s wellbeing.’
Lockdown not meltdown. Part 1
If you were managing to keep yourself calm and grounded while the rest of the world entered panic mode, by now you may be finding it all a little overwhelming. By ‘it’ I mean the anxiety, nervous energy, fear, and panic. To me it feels like smoke or fog that’s seeping in through the walls and into my thoughts no matter how hard I try to keep myself away from the hysteria.
