Join us for a special episode of Intergalactic Insider, "When Aliens Come to Tea," as we welcome Kriff Quasar, a Lumin botanist who has traversed galaxies to rebuild their family's lost ancestral seed collection after a cosmic tragedy. In this moving and thought-provoking conversation, we explore the profound Lumin concept of "symbiotic grieving," a practice of sharing sorrow with a planetary network of interconnected plant life known as the "Great Root Consciousness." Discover how Kriff's journey of loss and rediscovery offers valuable lessons for humanity on healing, resilience, and the interconnectedness of all things. We'll delve into fascinating cultural comparisons, explore the surprising ways Lumins and humans approach emotions, and ponder whether we are surrounded by a vast, silent intelligence we have yet to understand. Plus, we'll get Kriff's unique perspective on human customs, from our obsession with time to our peculiar relationship with potted plants. Prepare to have your mind expanded and your heart touched in this unforgettable episode of Intergalactic Insider.
