Episode 41

In this return episode fresh back from another N=1 Event, we get into training for the middle-aged, the secrets of Nature via the I Ching. This carries us into talking about the layers of Nature and how often we misinterpret them in everyday life. Conversations like this have done much to shift our perspective, we hope it does the same for you!
