  <description><![CDATA[What if we could resist the oppressive structures that surround us by refusing to submit to despair and hopelessness and instead, move towards hope?  The Hope is Resistance podcast is a conversation between friends sharing poetry and stories to light the path of personal and collective healing. 

Cassie Connor is a trauma therapist, yoga teacher, artist, and founder of Nest Holistic. Pascale Goodrich is a musician (Vallée des loups), teacher, activist and athlete. In each episode, they plant seeds of hope for a liberated and loving world. They explore a variety of topics, while always returning to one idea: that hope, in its many forms, is an act of resistance.

The producer and musician behind our opening music is Max Goodrich. <br/><br/><a href="https://nestholistic.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">nestholistic.substack.com</a>]]></description>
