It's the festive season when people gather with friends to eat, drink, and talk story.  Alcohol traces it's roots back to beginning of human civilization and agriculture potentially being the first fermented substance humans manufactured.  In Chinese Medicine alcohol is also a foundational component, not only as a solvent but as a radical in the character Yi. Join us on the first part of our jaunt discussing alcohol and while tangential narratives are iconic of one under the influence we can assure you it was all sober fun.

Into the archives of the short little life of our podcasts we go:

In the beginning, Steven and I were vamping on some Wu Xing ideas, and then we decided to hit record....

Wu Xing or 5 Phases as it is often translated, is a philosophy at the core of Chinese thought. If Yin and Yang are like dancing a two step, Wu Xing is like the tango. And once you adopt this lens you can apply it anywhere, in the garden, in relationships, in the seasons and the clinic. Life unfolds according to the patterns and principles of Wu Xing. Join us as we play and dance with Wu Xing.
