Today, Mimi Young talks about the concept of “wu” in Chinese culture and its likely implications in our concept of “woo” or “woo-woo.” We also get into some things that we’ve been observing with wellness culture -- the chief of which is the problem with approaching spirituality and spiritual practices from a “fast-food” perspective. We discuss how to relate with grace and respect to practices that are not directly a part of our biological lineage and the braiding that’s inviting us to remember older ways of being in connection to the place where we are and the land that we’re on.
