Welcome back to Alchemy on the Island! After a brief hiatus Gimo and Dan found a tiny pocket of energy and motivation to get a flurry of recordings done at the end of their second year in Bali. They hope you missed them but aren't too offended if you entirely forgot that this podcast existed.

In this episode, with the expert help of Aidan Keeva, Dan and Gimo go deep into the exploration of Chinese Medicine and discover that it was actually created by cultivators! Aidan shares his personal healing journey through the internal arts and speaks on topics ranging from the clash of worldviews of the eastern arts and western materialism, the dangers of reducing Chinese medicine to fit the western medical system, and the importance of translating the wisdom Chinese Medicine has to offer to people of different systems of health and the human being. Aidan's unique perspective as both a cultivator of the internal arts and an experienced clinician of Chinese Medicine help illuminate some of the more esoteric, and dare we say "spiritual," underpinnings of Chinese Medicine, whilst locating its place in the far greater world of the Daoist path of cultivation.
