Christie Wong (AKA Pom) weaves together the fabric of her Self and brings us an episode that is contemplative and meditative while simultaneously challenging the status quo with each new thread revealed. She talks about what it means to her to find belonging in third culture, how integral art and creativity are to our human existence, and the ways she believes we can benefit from embracing ritual and slowing down.

GUEST BIO: Christie is a 1.5-gen Hong Kong Canadian, third culture kid who happens to be a multidisciplinary artist and traveler working with natural pigments, textiles, photography, cacao, stories, and illustration. She thinks of herself as a visual poet and a gathering space for multitudes of ideas to alchemize into slices of aliveness.

On the world wide web, Christie's can be found  here and here.

Vestiges is one of Christie's original as-yet-unreleased musical offerings, written and sung by Christie, mixed and Mastered by Michael Friedman.

The book referenced in this episode (and several others) is Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home, by Toko-pa Turner.

Other Resetters referenced in this episode who have the People of Reset Series' episodes of their own are Aunty Awake and Bliss.  At this time Five and Co-Creatrix D (CCD) have not been interviewed for the series. But you might find them at camp.
