Each of us is deeply connected to soil, whether we see or feel soil directly.

Birds, Imagination, and the Tyranny of Clocks 59:12

9M ago59:12

59:12

We all have times of silence — when momentum slows down, we turn inwards, or we cannot rush and produce. These wintering times, as Katherine May calls them, can allow us to rest and heal, but they can also lead to big changes. Taking times of silence can be one essential tool for restoring our energy and then changing how we are directing that ener…

57:24

Why do we grow in our gardens? Are we searching for closeness to the mystery and magic of the natural world, or perhaps working towards self-sufficiency by feeding ourselves?

47:34

How do we feed everyone, how do we feed cities? How do we tackle food deserts and food injustice? And what if there is not one answer to these questions - but many?

Looking at species in a landscape, we can see the stories of each creature and what role it plays in that ecosystem. So, what is our role in our landscapes? Are we an invasive species?

2+ y ago1:06:23

1:06:23

We protect our gentle hearts and our fearful brains by saying things cannot change, telling ourselves it isn’t as bad as it is, or just ignoring environmental and social breakdown all together.

A Web of Relationships - Dr. Elizabeth Sawin 57:34

2+ y ago57:34

57:34

We live as part of a wondrous planet, an intricate web of interconnections and relationships.

55:51

The journey to consuming less and reclaiming our collective power is an imperfect, emotional, and challenging one. Consuming stuff is embedded into our identities and our culture.
