The Rose Woman
Author, founder, yogi and futurist Christine Marie Mason invites you into a weekly deep dive into how we can live with more freedom, impact and joy. On the show, she talks with a wide variety of experts and inspirers- from doctors to therapists, artists to founders- to help all of us know and love our bodies more, and to discover more freedom, joy and power in our lives. Uplifting, inspiring, educational, poetic and wide ranging! We investigate how our inner beliefs and personal habits relate our material reality; at the places where technology and invention meet the human body and human institutions; at how our cosmology can help or hinder a culture in its evolution toward more love and justice. About ChristineChristine works to bring more joy and less suffering alive in the world, starting on the inside of the self and extending into families and cultural systems. A six-time company founder, author of 7 books, yogi and tantrika, mom of four and grandmother, she offers a unique integration of practical activation and spiritual insight. She is the founder and CEO of Rosebud Woman™, an intimate wellness line that invites a new conversation about women, women’s bodies, self-care and power, and the cofounder of Sundari Gardens, a retreat on Hawai’i. Her prior work as a tech CEO and technology futurist has given way to a more organic look at the future of our species, and how we live together better. Hosted on Acast.

Life in the G-Zone
Thank-full can be a state of being, and gratitude a way of walking in the world. Our minds become habituated to our surroundings and often forget to pay attention- as a result a plethora of ambient blessings fade into the background. Living as Thanksgiving does wonders for your spirit and bodymind: studies show that a gratitude practice can get people off of antidepressants, accelerate healing after surgery, and draw people closer together. Plus it just opens the door to living with more wonder and awe and reverence.We've done a special episode of the pod today, one I hope you will listen to lying down, with a pen and paper nearby. The episode features an original backing track from Mornsong, a dozen short contributions from friends articulating what they are grateful for, and a guided reflection for you to follow along with. Drop down into the Gratitude Zone, the G-Zone, maybe before you get into the F-zone. Um, that's the Family Zone. With all love, we are grateful for you,Christine and TeamWith special thanks to Nico (Mornsong), Adam Bauer, John Shiva Gray. Dream Mullick, Michael Schutzler, Leila Towry, Elizabeth Walsh and Mark Whitwell for offering their thanksgivings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
