S5 · E4Sep 28, 2025 · 1 hrThe Way of the Owl with Morag Gamble
Three unbelievable stories about owls, and how to be a myceliating, possibilitarian practivist with the phenomenal Morag Gamble. Morag has cornflower blue eyes and a glorious crop of hair that curls at the ends like pea shoots. She consorts with broad beans and leafy greens in bare feet, and has sent no dig gardening viral on YouTube. This convo was recorded at Crystal Waters Eco Village where Morag lives with her family and 200+ other humans on 640 acres shared with a teeming assortment of subtropical wildlife. 📝 SHOW NOTES Building your livelihood around the seasons of your life How to find your flow and live with intention More than human helpers and teachers “I am the garden gardening” Ways to access land when accessing land is insane Myceliating ideas around the world Why aren’t permaculture villages everywhere?

S5 · E3Sep 14, 2025 · 58 minSave the World by Becoming the World with John Seed
Can birdsong heal your hearing? Can a rainforest recruit humans to protect it? What is deep ecology, anyway? Of all the approaches to “saving the world”, this one has my heart. Join me in conversation with elder John Seed as we get to the marrow of the environmental crisis, from the illusion of separation between human beings and nature, to the rituals, ceremonies and stories that can heal it. About John Seed Just last year at age 79 John was arrested for strapping himself to logging machinery in the Bulga State Forest, and has been awarded the Order of Australia medal for his services to the environment. John launched the Rainforest Information Center, has initiated global rainforest action networks and campaigns, developed The Council of All Beings with Joanna Macy, co-authored Thinking Like A Mountain with Joanna Macy Pat Fleming and Arne Ness, and spent decades facilitating experiential deep ecology workshops. IN THIS CONVO John’s story of being called into service by Nature Collaborating with Joanna Macy The root of the planetary crisis Community therapies to heal civilisational wounds Business As Usual, The Great Unravelling, The Great Turning The Work That Reconnects Activism as ceremony The antidote to cultural amnesia Why John loves podcasts! How not to judge gross human behaviour Honouring our pain for the world Feelings as ancient intelligence Can anyone run a grief circle?
