Holistic Balance 3

SESSION FOLLOW UP

Finding White Space

We learned to literally TAKE our time, and explored the Japanese concept of "yutori." We met Oliver Burkeman, who helped us to "live the questions."

HOMEWORK

Step 1

Listen...

...to poet Naomi Shihab Nye.

In conversation with Krista Tippit (OnBeing): https://onbeing.org/programs/naomi-shihab-nye-before-you-know-kindness-as-the-deepest-thing-inside/


Step 2

Consider & Journal...

... on the concept of Yutori

  • What is Yutori to you? 

  • Where in your week ahead can you add more ‘white space?’ 

  • What resonates from “the questions…”?



Step 3

Express Yourself

What do you want more of? Less of?

  • Answer by visualizing a conceptual part of your body that you’d like to impact.

  • Use something from the natural world to symbolize the “more” or “less” thing.

  • Illustrate! Collage, drawings, digital — anything goes!
