What does it really mean to live in balance — not by escaping pain, but by transforming how we meet it? In this episode of Being Human, filmmaker and Tai Chi teacher George Thompson shares his journey from anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking to presence, spaciousness, and embodied awareness. After travelling to the Wudang Mountains in China to study Tai Chi and Daoist philosophy, George discovered a radical shift: “To hurt is to be human. Balance is possible. Practice is the path.”
We explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and how spirituality becomes actionable, grounded, and deeply human.
We cover: - Turning up at the wrong temple- Scrolling Reddit on the Sacred Mountain- Materialism vs dualism vs panpsychism- The role of compassion and connection in leadershipOh, to have so much wisdom so early in life! George is a treat. Links:George’s WebsiteTaoist Wellness Online
