SEASONAL MIXES
by Dr. Cristina Allen, ND
I hope you’ve been spending these hot Summer days close to water. Floating, swimming, or simply listening to the waves breathe against the shore.
Maybe you’ve stretched out in a meadow watching clouds drift like slow moving boats. Lungs filled with the sweet exhale of pines and grasses. Nothing but clean air carrying the scent of life itself.
Summer medicine is simple: Wake up with the early light, nap when the heat grows heavy, and stay awake long enough to watch meteors stitch silver lines across the sky.
Let the sun warm you so deeply that your bones loosen. Your joints sigh. Eat foods that make you sweat. Chillies. Herbs. The wild spices of the season. Go barefoot on the Earth. Dance where no floor exists. Let water hold you. Cold and strong. And laugh from the belly when the mushrooms peak.
Summer is the season of joy.
Thanks, friends, let’s dive in!

It's snowing outside.
It's raining.
It's snowboarding without a shirt on weather.
It's an ice storm that left thousands of people without power.
It's magnolias blooming and ramps on the menu.
Who knows what's going to happen - it's Spring.
It's time to get your freak on, and I'm going to take you on a ride.
Thanks friends, for coming along.

Something about where the world is at right now has me reminiscing a lot about the late 90s and early 2000s. Back when I used to make mixtapes and volunteered at the college radio station.
I lost a few dear friends over the Summer. These friends have forever impacted me with their shared punk rock attitudes and deep feeling.
Fittingly, Fall is the season of grief.
So I’ve been grieving their loss and the events of the Spring and Summer, by shedding tears with the trees as they shed their leaves, and listening to a lot of hardcore adjacent tunes.
This mix is inspired by my Fall soundtrack, covering some of my favourite genres.
Thank you friends, for tuning in!
