In our modern political/social/economic climate, the roles we serve in can have far reaching effects and the way we show up in those roles can be even more so. Classical Chinese medicine, as approached by NUNM, has its roots in Taoism, which we'll relate to Paganism. Let us explore the significance of Taoism/Paganism within the context of CCM and current issues. What is CCM’s role? What is its magical significance?
