This episode lands just before Equinox with the intention to share gentle guidance and Taoist wisdom as we transition from summer to autumn, from the outer to inner, yang to yin and the Element of Metal.  We are delighted to welcome back Colin Hudon, herbalist, acupuncturist, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and founder of our beloved brand Living Tea for a cosmic dialogue on this powerful time of year. Autumn is the season of contraction, surrender, and release. The focus shifts inwards and when navigated consciously, this season can nurture immense personal growth. Today we cover a rich spectrum of topics, from planetary consciousness as it relates to earth’s cycles to our relationship to grief, attachment, the layers of seasonality,  how man and woman hold the potential to embody the microcosm of the macrocosm, natural bio-tech, and of course, how to support our systems through the seasonal shift with diet, meditation, mindfulness and tea.   Thank you Colin, for being our celestial tea conduit and for showing us how to embrace the seasons of our lives with renewed grace and awareness.
