We are back with Episode 3!
In this episode, we explore trust not as a concept but as a lived, somatic experience.
Does trust begin as a decision, a sensation, or a surrender?
From blankets and breath to darkness and light, to improv and practice, we follow the subtle thread of what trust feels like — just before it arrives.
How do you sense trust?
What does it take to trust when the situation feels like a precipice?
We would be delighted to hear from you and to stay in touch!
Love,
Polina, Irina, and Yulia

🌱 Key Takeaways
Trust emerges from a combination of feeling, choice, and state.
Practicing trust means allowing what wants to emerge — even without knowing what it is.
Distrust, especially when rooted in personal or cultural history, may be a default — but it can shift through conscious practice.
Flow and trust are deeply connected, but one doesn’t always guarantee the other.
Trust isn’t about believing things will go the way we want — it’s about knowing we can sustain whatever happens.
This podcast itself is an experiment in group trust — in the process, in the field, and in each other.
