This week, Susi Vine explores the potential of a shift from our productivity-driven western lifestyle to one that embraces rest as an essential part of growth and well-being.

Learn how to celebrate the integration that comes from rest and how it can help you thrive in the new year. The episode also includes a special invitation to a Winter's Rest livestream event aimed at celebrating growth and aligning intentions for the upcoming year.
