Our current reading lists (Hint - Fionna is geeking out on science). Self healing and the medical model. Spiritual bypassing - what is it and how we sometimes use it to delude ourselves. Sarah "attempts" to explain advaita vedanta. Yoga philosophy, the benefits of religion, and of course - the one and only vagus nerve.

    Better late then never.. but seriously have you seen "Wild Wild Country" on Netflix?? We just finished it and this is our thoughts and musings straight afterwards.

We chat about how power can corrupt, how people can lose themselves in the externality of worshipping a guru, the incredible leadership required to create what they did in Oregon and much more.
    Side note: the first 60 secs of audio are really quiet - no idea why but if self corrects after that so please bare with us! Thanks x)
