Festivals & Grief
Manage episode 408588074 series 2966694
Welcome to The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, where the aim is to be a friend in your ear during these challenging times.
In today's therapy session for your co-hosts Stuart and William, you’ll take a dive into listener questions from Wally in Manchester, England, and Jayne in York, England.
We begin with Wally’s question, which is:
“What festivals do you guys like to celebrate yourselves?”
Off the back of Wally’s question William shares his joy of Midsummer celebrations in Finland, while Stuart reflects on a childhood, grounded in honouring seasons, spirits and solstices.
Together, they explore the significance of inviting others into our traditions, and promoting sustainable festivities.
We then move onto Jayne’s question, which is:
“Could you both share your own experiences and thoughts around grief?”
Inspired by Jayne’s question, Stuart explores the multifaceted nature of grief, acknowledging its impact is beyond the loss of loved ones, and delving into the complexities of missed opportunities and unfulfilled connections. While William shares insights into the evolution of grief, from moments of guilt to the profound realisation of personal identity beyond family ties, prompting introspection on mortality and legacy.
Tune in to this profound episode as Stuart and William explore the depths of human experience, finding solace and wisdom amidst life's celebrations and sorrows.
