We'll take the latter for this upcoming cuffing season despite the big snow and cold temps predicted for Great Turtle Island's winter season.

IVPodcast 99 - Cancel Culture & Humility Despite our love for that hot tea it's important for us to take a moment to reflect and step into our lifelong process of learning new ways when it comes to witnessing someone being 'cancelled'.
