Balance Garden is back after a year-long pause with a new frequency… Our summer solstice episode celebrates the warmth inside & out, through connection with nature, the self & each other. Featuring special guest - food & tea as medicine facilitator & cook, Hannah Yu, plus Balance Garden founder & wellness practitioner Jasmine Pradhan.

I’m also joined in conversation with Hannah Yu, who runs Eat Drink Hui, and tells us all about how she is working with food and tea as medicine from her ancestral roots in Chinese philosophy, taking new paths through music and modern gatherings.

With a more seasonal offering, we’ll now present each podcast alongside a ceremonial workshop to mark every solstice and equinox. Balance Garden founder, Jasmine Pradhan, and podcast host and producer, Tiger Lily first discuss why they’re following this format in the first part of the show.

Our first ‘Embodied Earth’ event will be on Summer solstice, Weds 21st June, online from 8-9.30pm. Join Jasmine for a 90 minute workshop which will involve a combination of yin, flow and restorative yoga, acupressure, guided meditation and sacred ritual, which will tune into the gifts of the season and the unique energy of the Summer Solstice, hopefully leaving you feeling clearer, lighter, rejuvenated and in deeper harmony with yourself and the rhythm of the natural world.
