Wu Xing and Climate
12/14/2023
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.
