S3 Ep9 SILENT NIGHT: Relishing 'the Hush'

These are the days in between. The liminal space that hovers beyond the festivities and the before the arrival of a fresh New Year. I call this time 'the Hush', when the world slows and some kind of portal opens up. This episode is all about making the most of this precious time and it includes:

• Ideas for different ways to spend these days in between
• A beautiful winter visualisation to help you open to whatever might be calling you
• A full moon bathing ritual
• A comforting recipe
• Our nature corner
• Some get ahead tips for NEXT Christmas (you’ll be glad of them, I promise)
• PLUS A self-care giveaway (enter on my Instagram @bethkempton)
