THE TEA-POD-MONK

---

IT...
IT ALL STARTED WAY BACK WITH A COMMITMENT TO RELEASE A PODCAST A WEEK FOR A YEAR. THE PODCAST WAS CALLED TALKING TAI CHI WITH THE TEAPOTMONK - AND NOW, I'M NOT SURE YOU'LL FIND IT ANYWHERE. AS WATER ONLY STAGNATES WHEN IT DOESN'T MOVE, SO TOO THE PODCASTS OF THE MONK. THERE MAY BE A FEW SAMPLES SITTING STILL ON ITUNES OR PODMATIC - BUT FOR HOW LONG, I CAN'T SAY. 
I DID COLLECT A FEW, BINDED THE INTO AN AUDIOBOOK HERE. 
​
THEN...
THEN 2 YEARS BACK CAME THE EMPTY YOUR CUP SERIES.  DISCUSSIONS AND IDEAS ON MORE GENERAL TAI CHI ISSUES. (ALL EPISODES NOW DISPERSED INTO THE GREAT TAO)
FINALLY...
FINALLY THIS YEAR, SEES THE 3RD SERIES, AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND ALL PLATFORMS CALLED WAYS TO STOP DOING STUFF.  SECURE ON SOUNDCLOUD

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE
BY VISITING ITUNES HERE
OR SOUNDCLOUD HERE

The Art of Teaching Without Teaching
