Summary

Author of The Bridge, Donna Lancaster, joins Caggie in this episode to explore how our physical body naturally heals our emotional pain. Donna experienced an extreme panic attack which kick-started her to explore the world of mental and physical healing, leading her to create an in-person retreat called The Bridge. Donna went on to write her book, also titled The Bridge, that focuses on tools and mechanisms that we can all adopt to heal and become our most authentic self. Donna and Caggie’s conversation touches upon how we can evolve from our anxious state through physical healing processes such as shaking therapy, how our vulnerability can truly set us free, Wounded Child archetypes and viewing grief through a lense of ‘release’ and ‘relief’. You can buy Donna’s book The Bridge here. --- Follow or subscribe to "Saturn Returns" for future episodes, where we explore the transformative impact of Saturn's return with inspiring guests and thought-provoking discussions.

0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to Saturn Returns with me Kaggy Dunlop. This is a
0:08.4	podcast that helps to bring clarity during transitional times where there can be confusion and doubt.
0:14.0	I always say with all respect like I'm a great advocate of talking therapy
0:26.2	it's very powerful certainly probably saved my life however I believe and it's just
0:31.4	my opinion that you need to get up out of a therapist's chair and involve the body in the healing process.
0:38.0	So it's that combination of talking and somatic release and that is true healing both. Today I'm joined by the lovely Donna Lancaster who has
0:48.0	worked as a coach and therapist for over 30 years. She was formerly ahead of teaching at the Hoffman process working with the
0:54.7	Hoffman Institute UK. I went on to co-create the renowned bridge retreat which is a
0:59.8	six-day personal development experience.
1:03.0	She has now made this experience into a book, which is a nine-step program helping you to live
1:08.6	more authentically and wholeheartedly.
1:11.4	I wanted to speak to Donna because I'd heard a lot about her work and about the
1:15.4	bridge from various people that have come on the podcast and people in this space and
1:20.0	it was such a joy to talk to her. In this episode we speak about the victory of vulnerability,
1:26.3	how to build resilience through rejection, somatic healing, grief work and so much more.
1:33.0	Before we get into this episode let's quickly check in with our astrological guide, Nora.
1:40.0	The progress lunar return starts at about 27 years old, and what it does is it brings us back to our subconscious impulses because this astrological phenomena is the one that relates not to Saturn, but rather to the moon.
1:55.0	It helps us access forgotten childhood memories, dreams, wishes,
2:00.0	but it also brings childhood wounds and hormones to the surface.
2:06.0	In essence, this is really clearing the path to such a return by bringing it into question among other things how our emotional needs are being met, how
2:16.4	we've been taking care of our mental health, the state of the relationship with our parental
2:20.8	figures, especially the matriarchal archetypes of our lives.
