About this episode

I’m joined by my friends Charlene Huskinson and Shruti Srivastava for a more casual episode, a blend of personal stories and practical advice. We talk about how we met, why we love retreats, and the ways in which we find rest and stillness in the busyness of life.

{6:45} Shruti’s first experience on a yoga retreat and how it lead to her retreat career

{10:00} The relationship between slowing down and digesting life

{12:45} How Charlene found sound healing and the power of sound

{15:50} How to use your voice to move energy and heal 

{22:50} How Shruti found clarity and strength using mantra 

{27:00} Shruti’s silent retreat experience 

{35:30} The relationship between rest and creativity
