    This is the audio version of the monthly talk i give to premium subscribers on my substack thenightgarden.substack.com.In this episode, I talk about the Daoist (nondual animism) historical ideas & protocols about the month of May, which begins the summer season in the northern hemisphere. I add to this a critical pedagogy lens (ala Paolo Freire) to unpack what I call the "yang derangement syndrome" epidemic in the western, colonial, post-modern worldview and culture.If you want to go deeper, I have the substack, a patreon where I teach classes, and private sessions.

This is how I approach decolonizing the modern human mind and perception.
