It is evident that our communities are burnout and there’s toxicity in the way we relate to ourselves and others. But why did we get to this point? How can we incorporate a new paradigm of healing? 

Today’s episode is a republish of an episode shared earlier in 2022 about the new paradigm of healing.

Listen in to learn about the concept of yin and yang and how this duality is represented in our nervous system, our society and our attitude towards healing.

An important topic for our community, the healing professions and those experiencing illness and healing first hand.
