#selfcare is so hot right now, but what does it actually mean?  Is it all Ginseng face-masks, chocolate cake, and massages? Or is it much, much, more than that? Audrey Lorde famously said ‘Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.’ And yet 30 years later wellness has become the new luxury and Covid 19 has shown us that most of the time ‘wellness’ really just means ‘well off’.  So does self care mean to treat yourself or to free yourself?  Is it an individual or collective practice?  Can anyone do it?  And how can we actually care for ourselves in real ways as we navigate the stresses and pressures of the imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy? In these revolutionary times there is so much work to be done, and we need care for ourselves so we can keep up the momentum and get it done.  Self care is part of our spiritual work, especially during the journey of both individual and collective awakening. Join Kirileigh and Lynette as they examine the self care quandary and help you to discover how to better care for yourself and others.  They also discuss how to navigate self care fatigue and how to choose the right people to support you on your way. Take a deep breath, lie back,  turn it up and let the healing happen.  Look at you - you’re doing it!   Extra show notes: The Wish Game - https://www.thewish8.com/ Dissect Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/2b025hq3gJ17tQdxS3aV43?si=nYCwi0pdRV6An3lJkoFy6g Rachel Cargle Website - https://www.rachelcargle.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rachel.cargle/?hl=en Article - https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/220412/rachel-cargle/ I need to talk to spiritual white women about white supremacy (Part One) Layla Saad - http://laylafsaad.com/poetry-prose/white-women-white-supremacy-1
