Hello, I’m Michelle from Opting Out, based in Brighton, UK. Subscribers can enjoy regular posts around slow living, rest, and opting out of burnout culture, plus my Weekend Mood Board of what’s currently inspiring me. Paid subscribers get access to ALL my work, including Slow Reading Group, live Co-Resting sessions, yoga nidra audios and pre-recorded full-length restorative yoga classes.
Its my dream to create a community of misfits, questioners and resters. Are you in? ✨
What I’m reading:
China Mieville’s The City & The City. Fab, and deeply weird.
What I’m enjoying:
Watching the new ducklings and cygnets in my local park.
What I’m listening to:
Arooj Aftab, after seeing her live recently.
What I’m Noticing:
That the more I do Buddhist compassion practices, the harder it is to feel irritated with people, even if you want to.
What I’m eating:
Chia porridge with berries in the mornings.
What I’m Looking Forward To:
My upcoming week-long solo Buddhist retreat (although not without some trepidation).
What’s Inspiring Me:
Hearing others explore their process.
