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.
