0:00.0	Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers. We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together.
0:24.2	This is the Commune podcast, where each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us
0:29.2	live this healthy, connected, and purpose-filled life.
0:33.8	So in addition to the Commune podcast, I've also started writing a weekly Sunday article called

2:03.9	beekeeping, kitten fostering, sourdough baking, composting toilets.
