In the depth of winter, rain has a way of shrinking us inward. It lowers our voices, shortens our steps, turns our attention down instead of out. We feel lower case, smaller, less performative—and that’s not a failure. It’s an invitation. A seasonally appropriate pause.

This episode reflects on how these gray, wet days are essential training for extreme heat: how water stored underground mirrors energy stored within us. When we allow ourselves to absorb rather than produce, to reflect rather than react, we’re charging an inner battery that will be called upon later.

Featuring: Brian James, Dellasollounge & Dionisaf, KapTep & Brannan Lane, Piscean Daydreams, Andrew Lozano, .cut & Orchestre des Engoulevents, Ancient Astronaut, Michael D. Tidwell, Adrian Lane, Ekin Fil.
