Lexi shares how they integrate this wisdom in their own life and share it in their coaching practice. Later in the episode we take a deep dive into the historical origins of our disconnection from nature. We discuss the social restructuring precipitated by the rise of agriculture, the wider implications of witch-burnings, and much more.

They are dedicated to healing humanity's relationship to these cycles- and all genders' relationship to the menstrual cycle as a pathway to end global warming by healing the cause of our hyper-masculinized, consumer and production based internal landscape that has polluted our external landscape.
