Sacred Self-Care: Being Resourced Enough to Stay Switched On

Sacred Self-Care: Being Resourced Enough to Stay Switched On is a reminder that care isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about preparing to meet it with clarity and compassion. In the Community Call, Robert reframed self-care as a collective practice that helps us stay steady in uncertain times, introducing NEST (Number, Emotions, Sensations, Thoughts) as a simple way to name our inner state and reduce reactivity. From there comes the deeper question: what does the body actually need, and what small version of that is available now? Care, he emphasized, can come not only from people but also from the more-than-human world and inner practices that restore courage. Sacred self-care, then, is leadership—love with stamina—so we can keep showing up without burning out.
