How can we, Leo Lok and Sabine Wilms, with our unique combination of skills and resources, best support you as part of our beloved Chinese medicine community? What is the right and ethical balance between academic education, joyful entertainment, curious exploration, and creative play? And last, but not least, how can we harness the wonders of technology to create a community that spans continents, languages and cultures, medical and religious paradigms, and millennia of textual resources? A tall order this is, indeed, but we had fun tossing these questions around while we are in the final stages of building our new project, the \"Frolicking Fish Community.\" In this podcast, we are inviting you to join us for a brainstorming session, in the spirit of integrity, connection, curiosity, and play. Of course we hope to entice you to join our community and give us constructive feedback on the answers we are looking for.
