Shownotes

Barefoot on a quiet Peloponnese beach, we pick up plastic, chant from the heart, and share a simple practice for leaving places and people a little better. Bhakti on sand, a few goofy bumps, some sweet shoutouts to qigong teachers, and a reminder that joy grows when life gets lighter. Bring a small bag, take a breath, and join us in the tiny, daily seva.
