How do we sidestep a familiar and unhelpful pattern of thought or behavior in that moment when trauma or pain begins to assert itself and trigger a response? Can we in the triggering moment find a uniquely creative and new response that helps illuminate and loosen the trauma’s grip?

Learning to pause before reacting to a triggering feeling or memory might be one of the most important moments in the healing process. Deciding how we will respond engages a larger awareness or consciousness that lifts our perspective above the immediate, often polarized, circumstance.

In this rich intersubjective conversation I join Lonny Jarrett, Randine Anderson Lewis, Alexander Love, and Aviv Shahar, to explore the mystery, beauty, and complexity of the healing process on personal and global levels.

As we move from the season of Metal into Water, my Integral Chinese Medicine Collective colleagues, Lonny Jarrett Randine Anderson Lewis, Alexander Love, Will Morris, Brandt Stickley, Vasanthi Vanniasingham, and I gathered to do a deep dive into depth. We got in there surprisingly quickly and discovered wisdom and insights none of us expected to find. I'm still integrating this conversation and am excited to share it with you all here!

Settle into the winter darkness and enjoy it!

The Integral Chinese Medicine Collective is back after a summer break and we are diving in deep! Pour yourself a cup of tea and listen in as I join Scholar-physicans Lonny Jarrett, Randine Anderson Lewis, Alexander Love, William Morris, and Vasanthi Vanniasingham to discuss, "The Role of Intention in Healing." This is the 6th release in a monthly series of discussions considering the integrality of Chinese medicine and its place in our time.

In Lonny's words, "We reach a profound intersubjective experience of intention together that I think you'll find palpable.”
