Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ceremony and Eldership
Q: How do birth and menstruation fit into the idea of ceremony?
Birth and menstruation are pivotal rites that reveal the body's power to create life and transform the individual; they are natural ceremonies that can be honored with intention, community support, and rituals that acknowledge life's sacred cycles rather than treating them as mere biological events.
Ceremony and Eldership
Q: What does ceremony mean to you, Annie, and how does it function in daily life?
Ceremony is a deliberate, beauty-filled invitation to connect with spirit and the great mystery, creating a space where intention, gratitude, and the unknown can meet, which can lead to healing and deeper understanding in ordinary life.
The Science of Life: What Ayurveda Can Teach Us
Q: What is the difference between Ayurveda and allopathic medicine?
While allopathy typically focuses on treating symptoms, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of imbalances in the mind and body.
The Science of Life: What Ayurveda Can Teach Us
Q: Can you share something about the history of Ayurvedic medicine?
Ayurveda dates back over 2,000 years and is considered the science of life. It encompasses both the physical and philosophical aspects of health.
Climate Change, Health and Survival with Professor Hugh Montgomery
Q: What would you want to share about growing up and children, and what would you be wanting for them and their future as a parent?
I want them to survive and have a life beyond a decade or two, with wildlife, clean air, and functioning systems around them.
