Ep.03: Daoist Tips for Getting Back to the Garden | A Conversation with Solala Towler


Listen Later

Solala Towler, teacher of ancient Chinese Taoism, shares how we can reconnect with our true nature through Taoist practices in an increasingly disconnected modern world. 

Drawing from 30 years of experience, Solala explores the profound difference between head knowledge and belly knowledge, guiding us toward authentic embodied wisdom.

Some themes we explore...

  • Solala's path to Taoism through Eastern philosophy, psychedelics, and healing from chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Exploring the concept of "getting back to the garden" as reconnecting with our essential human nature
  • How naming and categorizing has disconnected us from our ability to communicate with animals and nature
  • The distinction between information (which is abundant and free) and true knowledge (which requires practice and experience)
  • Embracing a commitment to joy - let's stop taking ourselves so seriously
  • Using Taoist wisdom for navigating troubled times.

Visit Solala's website at abodedao.com to explore his books, articles, classes, and workshops, and to get a dose of his light-hearted serious love of all things Tao.
