Harvest Series

In this episode of the Harvest Series, Rose Claverie speaks with Chloé Macintosh about courage, intimacy, and the intelligence of the heart. Recorded by the sea during Harvest, the conversation explores pleasure as a healing force and the role of embodied practice in emotional wellbeing. Chloé Macintosh shares how trauma shapes attachment, why we fear vulnerability, and how healing happens through relationship rather than isolation. A powerful invitation to reconnect with life through the body and the heart. PS : Chloe is kindly offering a 50% discount on her app, Kama.
