in this episode of the village sessions, we track the history of the human’s relationship with the sun & its cultural implications—how ancient peoples oriented their lives around it & ultimately how modern society has been scared out of utilizing it. we explore sunlight as a process of self-calibration, a restorative metric that sets the foundation for health, energy & (all kinds of) development.

 

we look at the history of sunscreen & the rise of fear around sun exposure, contrasting that with what science shows about PUFAs, sunburns, the energetics of burning. we touch on how the body actually builds resilience through intentional timing. 

 

this conversation highlights the power of orienting your life outdoors—letting light shape you, your biology & the ecology of your family. take a seat with us as we reframe the sun from being a threat, to one of our most essential allies.
