For episode 374 we are delighted and honored to welcome our teacher Katherine Metz back to the show for a deep conversation about the Wood Element. We explore the energy of Wood and its connection to spring — growth, expansion, creativity, and new beginnings. We talk about the yin and yang qualities of Wood, and reflect on how imbalance can show up as either rigidity or frustration, and how important it is to cultivate harmony. We also discuss the symbolism of bamboo as a teacher of humility and resilience — strong yet flexible, open yet grounded.
