Episode Synopsis
Robyn Young shares deep wisdom through storytelling, to connect the listener with the philosophy and wisdom of 5 Element Acupuncture, which shows our human connection to the cycles of the seasons and the earth. She shares her experience being a mom, being a lifelong learner and someone who is in practice. She shares inspirational stories about the transformational practices she learned at the Tai Sophia Institute studying Applied Healing Arts, Acupuncture and Herbalism, and is where Tekla and Robyn met.
Topics that Robyn shares:
Self compassion- doing the best you can- how to live with more self-compassion.
Listening to the body and how wise it is- how the daily practice of awareness brings even more self-compassion.
5 Element Acupuncture- beautiful stories and examples that bring awareness and understanding of how powerful it is to live in connection with the cycles of the earth, that we are, as humans, part of these cycles.
Healing Circles for Mothers- Robyn created a beautiful 5-element inspired guide to lead mothers' healing circles that Tekla used for years- the powerful healing that comes from gathering in circles of women, especially mothers.
Healing the mother wound and living against the "norms" of patriarchy.
The importance of healing ourselves for the sake of our children and how much work still needs to be done- it never "ends"!
A discussion on gender and the feminine, mothering and how language is so important to be inclusive.
Robyn and Tekla still have a lot to talk about around recovery and narcissism, which they touch on- Robyn will be back!
