On new life, beginnings and the art of heiter during a pandemic: Katharina Geissler-Evans

‘We could gently get familiar with our new roles as parents and act with intuition.’

Our guest on today’s episode of the podcast is Katharina Geissler-Evans. In a slightly different format, you will hear Kiki’s own voice telling us her story of 2020.

With thanks for sharing their beautiful vignettes of life in lockdown with us.

DISCUSSION

We loved the richness of this episode so much that we recorded close to an hour of discussion. Keeping to our brief format though, we are bringing you a succinct discussion.

Kiki had her baby as the Covid-19 pandemic was taking over Europe. She tells us how a situation which could have been dramatic eventually turned around.

Kiki describes the concept of heiter and its role in finding grounding and joy in the everyday.

We discuss the idea of different beginnings overlapping and question the make-up of future generations.

We are so grateful to Kiki for allowing us to share her experience and gain strength from her narrative of joy.

RECOMMENDATION

HEITER: If you would like to find out more about the concept of heiter and would like to implement it into your daily life, you’ll find all information, support and advice on Katharina’s website.

The other recommendation today is a coming of age film: Leave No Trace.
