If you’re anything like Chris and Ellie, instinct compels you to walk amongst trees and swim wild in its ponds. After too long indoors, do you too get twitchy like a caged animal? For folk like us, movement in nature isn’t luxury, it’s necessity - where we retreat and repair from the demands of modern life. Join Chris and Ellie, two certified coaches, as they explore that compelling force within us, that drives us to play in nature.

    What if you already have everything you need right here and now?

    Chris and Ellie find the perfect spot by a waterfall for a pop-up chat about allowing life as it is, wanting better, satisfaction, and knowing when things feel 'just right'. This was recorded in-person together, in the foothills of Snowdonia, North Wales.

    Consciously lazy

    In the modern age, trying really hard and putting in all the effort means you really care about something. So it follows that being lazy means you don’t care, right? Chris and Ellie explore attitudes to laziness, ease and purposeful rest - and how to get more of these. What does it mean to still care and effort-less? Can we have ease and be productive in the things that matter most to us, without trying so hard all the time?

    Life without striving and trying so hard

    Suppose you took things slow, let life unfold on its own terms, giving up control and surrendering to the natural flow of things... Would you still get on in life? Would anything ever get done? How could it - if you’re not there, up and on it, actively making it happen. If Ellie and Chris had an operating system, its default setting would be something like this, as life-long responsible doers. Yet they’ve both realised pushing beyond what we’re resourced for never ends well - in overwhelm and burnout. So what’s the alternative? Join your hosts as they discuss life with and without trying so hard all the time.

    What story is your brain telling you?

    Your brain is a beautiful story machine - complete with heroes, villains, plot and if you’re lucky happy endings. Sometimes the tale is sad though - usually when we’re under stress. Are these compelling stories really true though? Or just flawed attempts at sense-making. And how can we grow awareness of, or even challenge, the narratives we come to believe about the people and events in our lives? Ellie brings some live data for us to explore and reflect on.

    Be more dog

    Ellie has a furry new friend who’s teaching her about our relationship with movement and nature. Chris comes along for the ride as we explore how your nervous system behaves and reacts in different situations, the value of safety and connection, and why being more dog could enrich life for other, slightly less hairy, mammals with only two legs…
