In this microdose episode (un-edited and ALMOST under 30 minutes!), I follow up on our Hermit and Wheel of Fortune conversations to explore why it's so important to seek out and enjoy solitude.
I talk about solitude as a place to center ourselves, discover what's true for us, commune with Spirit and Creativity, and just be in our own energy.
I also talk about how solitude helps us navigate when the Wheel of Fortune injects change into our lives. Rather than simply reacting, or responding based on old patterns, or doing what other people think we ought to do, solitude helps us move from a center that is OURS.
I also share a few choice quotes from Ranier Maria Rilke, and share an article about a modern-day hermit living in the French Alps.
