  • Gentle, Honest and Kind

    Yarrow's demeanor is so gentle and warm, while also being honest, thoughtful, and aware of... basically... how to be human. Which is to say, how to be alive. They raise questions in the loveliest way that invite one into deeper consideration around broad topics, from living in relationship with all beings, to ritual, creativity, the body, anti-capitalism, plant wisdom, and more. I love listening to both guest interviews and Yarrow's solo chats directly with the listener. Thank you, Yarrow, for s... more
