Description

Like many of us, George Thompson once had a running story in his head that said he wasn’t likable, wasn’t successful enough, wasn’t good enough. Upon studying Taoism and practicing the mindful movement of Tai Chi, Thompson’s inner story began to change. He now uses the transformative power of stories to help others reconnect to their own. 

In this episode, Sean Fargo speaks with George Thompson about how he found Tai Chi and his teacher, Master Gu. They discuss Thompson’s latest film, The Subtle Art of Losing Yourself. The film is a retelling of the story of our relationship with nature and addresses the root causes of environmental and mental health challenges.
