In this episode, Wendy speaks with biocultural anthropologist and Tibetan medical doctor Tawni Tidwell. Tawni's research focuses on living—and dying—with greater awareness and well-being, and integrates multiple biological and cultural perspectives on mind-body systems. This conversation covers many topics, including:

  • merging interests in biology, culture, ecology, nature, and medicine;
  • how our minds shape our bodies;
  • the holistic approach of Tibetan medicine;
  • understanding constitutions and individual proclivities;
  • the subtle body and consciousness;
  • studying monastics who are able to extend the death process (Tukdam project);
  • implications for life, death, and the nature of consciousness;
  • individual differences and determining which practices might be best for someone;
  • studying Tibetan medicine's approach to treating COVID;
  • and coming back to our bodies, our communities, and our environments.
