Hello beloveds!
Is this the right time for us to have a conversation about rest? Is the thing that we need the most, also the most contentious topic sometimes? Are we always going to honour the nuance as much as we possibly can?
~YES~ to all of these questions.
If you wrestle with rest, gather ‘round - you’re invited to listen to this episode so that you can join with us in our light-hearted, loving exploration of rest.
Sometimes, often, the thing that we need the most is the hardest thing to access. Luckily, we don’t have to go it alone.
In this episode, Cassie and Pascale explore rest, not only as sleep or calm, but also as an entry point to wholeness. Through honest conversation and grounded reflection, they look at how rest can help you free yourself, discover yourself, and live your life to the fullest, in a world that demands so much from you day after day. What does it look like to truly learn to rest? How can we learn to rest in a way that nurtures not only us, but the loved ones around us, and our wider communities, as well?
📢 And…. an announcement!
I have been pouring my heart and soul and time and energy into a new website for Nest Holistic and it is NOW LIVE!!!! With help from my incredible web designer Ellen, I’ve built a home for all things Nest — therapy, groups, retreats, artwork, practices, yoga, trainings — you name it.
It feels like a collecting of so much of my past work, and a launch pad for all that’s to come 👀. There is a ton to be released this year, but let’s start here! ⤵️⤵️⤵️
We begin in 10 DAYS (Feb 12)!
For those healing from burnout, trauma, or disconnection.
Join from anywhere - Thursday evenings 3-5:30pm PST which is 6-8:30pm EST.
Use your benefits! This group is billable as “psychotherapy” for insurance purposes.
We’ll have a private 30-min intake call before we begin, register by Feb 9th so we can book that in before the group starts!
Booking is now LIVE for our summer retreat in BC!
For those ready to rest, reconnect, and reignite.
June 10–14, 2026 (5 days / 4 nights).
20-min ferry ride from Vancouver!
✨ I am intentionally making this my most magical retreat yet.
We’ll explore how can we return to our power and purpose through the doorway of our practices.
Pascale Goodrich (you know her from the pod) will be joining as a guest teacher! We would absolutely love to have you.
Last year sold out, so go ahead and claim your favourite room ASAP ⤵️
🫂 If either of these resources resonate with you but you’re unable to attend, please share with someone who needs them! Word of mouth is the best, most human (and my favourite) method of amplification.
Take care and rest deeply,
