Apricot Jam

Welcome to the Apricot Jam! Join Chinese medicine practitioners Taran Rosenthal and Lukas Wolf as we explore interdependence and consciousness through conversational jazz. In each episode, we chat with interesting guests, riff on ideas, and see where the changes take us. We never know what will emerge from the long-form improvisation, but we often brush up against the intersections of art, movement, medicine, philosophy, and spirituality. We hope you enjoy these jam sessions! The Apricot Jam – context, connection, conversation

    Julia & Jonathan - Heartward Sanctuary

    Jonathan (Jed) H Edwards, LAc practices East Asian Medicine with a focus on internal medicine. A longtime student of divination traditions from the Yijing to Jyotisa (Vedic astrology), he also deals with subtle/spiritual aspects of health. He finds that disease often falls away when people reorient their lives to include an understanding of karmic currents or the patterning of fate.  Jonathan makes his home at Heartward Sanctuary, a center in the NC Piedmont that he co-founded with his partner. His writing can be found at Seeds from the World Tree on Substack. For clinical consultations and divination, visit heartward.janeapp.com.    Julia Hartsell is a dancer, writer and ritualist who has been catalyzing community around healing and movement for two decades. With a background in performance art and world religions, Julia has spent her life immersed in embodied practices.  With an animist worldview, her work is focused on reclaiming relational ways of living and ancient forms of medicine in service of personal, ancestral and cultural healing. Julia is Co-founder, Director and Liturgist at Heartward Sanctuary. She also founded The Flowjo and lovingly tended  the creative communities that gathered there for a decade. Passionate about movement as a healing practice, she facilitates movement and somatic-based grief work, ancestral healing practices, seasonal cycles and threshold work. Julia is a certified Ancestral Lineage Healing Practitioner, Death Doula & Home Funeral Guide and is an Initiate of Osun and Obatalá in the Ifá/Òrìsà traditions of Yorùbá speaking West Africa. She currently resides in Silk Hope, traditional lands of the Shakori, Sissipihaw and Catawba tribes, with her beloved partner, canine companion and a wake of vultures.   Big thanks to our sponsor The Apricot Grove!  Eternal gratitude to Bart Matthews for our amazing intro music!   Check out our FB page if you roll like that.   For books!   https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=59079037   theapricotjam@gmail.com
