  • Insightful and down-to-earth

    Sabine and Leo’s conversations continue to be inspirational and relevant to the chaotic world in which we live. They each bring their expertise, and more importantly themselves, to these conversations, which cover the intersections of Chinese philosophy, Chinese medicine, Buddhism and translation. I personally find that their podcasts provide such fertile soils for thought and cultivation. Looking forward to more!
