Launching on 15th October 2025
A resource created to support your well-being and self-care. It includes calming words and uplifting sounds to support you to feel calmer and more grounded.
If you look after other people, care about the planet, are working in community care or towards collective liberation, you may want to use this recording to support that work too.
We really hope you find it supportive for yourself and the communities you work with. Please SHARE with anyone you feel would benefit from it.
There is a lovely version with music and sounds created by Maya and in case you prefer just the words, there is a voice-only version; both available on each link below.
