Casting Changes: Podcasts about the YI in Times of Movement
Exciting news!
Johannes Bloemsma and I started a Yi podcast:
Casting Changes: Podcasts about the YI in Times of Movement.
The first podcast is available now – an introduction about who we are, what we do and what we are going to do with the podcast. Including the examination of a hexagram that is representative for our new endeavour!
If you want to watch the podcast and be informed of new episodes you can sign up here:
