The climate-resilient nature-entangled way to garden with Duncan Cocking
Planting guides and sow-what-when calendars are great and all, but what happens when the seasons don't play nice? When spring arrives earlier, frost hits later, or heatwaves burn your crops to a crisp? There's no controlling the weather, but with tools like phenology, you can make better predictions and grow more food! Duncan Cocking (of Leaf, Root & Fruit) is an amazing gardener and educator from Kyneton in Southern Australia. He helps people tune into more-than-human patterns and cycles to build their own hyper-local and climate resilient gardening calendars, and has a wealth of wisdom about living more joyfully too. In this convo: Why spring is two weeks earlier this year Duncan's early years immersed in nature and connected to country Why he's not that interested in working hard Mid-30s career change Pattern recognition in the veggie patch How to use phenology Nature based indicators to tell you went to plant The two most critical aspects of gardening!!! Connection through failures Why to RELAXXXXX about how to garden Wood ducks tell you when you plant tomatoes Crazy record keeping How the hell to collate so much data Habits of the highly observant How do nature’s patterns work, NO LIKE, HOW? Being conversant with the land Duncan is an ostrich Disconnecting from the World Wide Web How to preserve your mental health with a hyper-focus on local Getting kids into the garden Give your kids scary tools Garden gimmicks How to grow avos in cold climates Spring gardening to-dos RIGHT NOW 🧙‍♀ LINKY POOS Duncan’s home on the web Leaf, Root & Fruit on Substack Leaf, Root & Fruit on Instagram Andrew Turbill, the bird guy 🧡 Support Reskillience on Patreon 🧡 ☕ Buy Me A Coffee (or an avo or a loaf of bread) ☕ Gratitude to the field recordist Romuald Mikusek, XC935811.

Breathwork for grief, connection & coming to your senses with Ella Maryska
NOTE: I’ve done breathwork every day since this interview and – you gaias! – it’s really helping me human. Meet today’s guest Ella Maryska, who is responsible for getting me into this breathwork thing that I am the last person on the planet to know about. Ella is 21 years old, wise as the hills, a certified breathwork instructor, and brings a fresh and youthful perspective to the pod which has been sorely absent to date (sorry sorry sorry). In this sweet convo, you’ll hear about the geeky physiology of breathwork; how it rebalances our nervous system, changes circulation to our brain, oxygenates tissues and connects us to plants, as well as Ella’s own experience as a young person living through the polycrisis, navigating novel life paths as the old routes fall away. I learned so much from Ella. Let me know if you’re on the breathwork bandwagon, a brilliant tool for staying steady in the tumult. 🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS Ella’s home on the web Ella/Coming Home Breathwork on IG Tuesday evening group class Guided breathwork sesh on YouTube [book] Atlas of the Heart ~ Brené Brown Catie’s natto Reskillience live recording at Words in Winter The Australasian Permaculture Convergence 🧡🧡🧡 Join the Reskillience community on Patreon 🧡🧡🧡 Catie on Substack

How to practice hybrid permaculture (and worry less about the news) with Ian Lillington & Marita Zeh
Ever wish you could sit down with permie elders to hear their take on the current chaos; what to do, where to live, and whether it’s really that bad in the grand scheme of things? Well just call me Genie cos this convo with permaculture educators and radical homemakers Ian Lillington and Marita Zeh will deliver. Ian and Marita live in a solar passive straw-bale home on the edge of Castlemaine, Victoria, surrounded by fruit and nut trees and veggie gardens, where students come to see – and feel – what it is to be wrapped in abundance. And this is where I found them, on a sunny autumn morning, in the cosy warmth of their kitchen, dealing with masses of peaches, pistachios and zucchini. And we all sat down and chopped and chatted, eventually remembering to turn on the mics. In this convo: Pursuing a hybrid model of permaculture Rat poison sandwich Renting till your 40s What is good debt? Where is even affordable anymore? How to deal with gluts Giving to community Small garden farming Being strategically connected to the grid Diverse household energy systems Scales of usage An elder’s perspective on current affairs Sharing permaculture as a political act Permaculture priorities Gratitude vs. fear Impermaculture 🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️ Send Ian an email ~ Ian.lillington@protonmail.com Or keep it old school with a text ~ 0478 297 057 The Castlemaine Permaculture Hub PDC (for locals) Castlemaine Permaculture FB group (national) Permaculture Australia FB group

Can you be collapse aware and still want kids? w/ Jem Bendell
In 2018 Professor Jem Bendell published an academic paper that went viral; pretty weird for a piece of scholarly writing. The topic? Societal collapse caused by runaway climate change. The timeline? Soon. Deep Adaptation presented a frank, delusion-free framework for facing the end of the world as we know it, sparked a movement, and copped a lot of flack. I wanted to chat with Jem not so much about the grim facts but about how, “as that collapse guy”*, he is filling his life with meaning at the eleventh hour. And it turns out, that includes becoming a farmer, writing folk songs and considering having kids. *Jem happily identifies as a doomster 🎙️ In this convo Experiencing climate change first hand as a farmer in Bali How to act on knowledge about collapse and climate? Making the leap towards your values (with the help of a global pandemic) Why the wellness community is full of shit Farming fails Picking up music at 48 and writing comedy rock Faulty beliefs we have about our creative gifts Living fully at the eleventh hour Letting go of status and security Why it’s all ok when everything’s not ok Kirtan and ecospirituality practices Jem’s evolving views about how collapse will unfold Bringing kids into this world, yay or nay?

How to cut loose from the industrial food system & forage 100% of your noms w/ Robin Greenfield
I tell a story about Jar Power before sitting down with Robin Greenfield, an incredible fella best known for his radical experiments in simple living, food reclamation, waste minimisation and wild foraging. He has been called “the Robin Hood of our times”, “the Forrest Gump of ecology”, and “the best kind of crazy”. To me, Robin is a torch bearer for truth, leading the way towards justice – with a whole lotta joy and integrity. This year he is eating 100% foraged foods – unreal! – so we chat about that, as well as: Why Robin is so gassy How it feels to break free from the global industrial food system Why Robin is not into human optimisation Practicing non-attachment and impermanence Freedom in community What gives Robin the power to do crazy stuff? Non-delusionalism How to identify your purpose and niche The most limiting factor in figuring out who you really are Pursuing radical honesty Robin’s simple finances Skills + relationships = freedom Transition ethics Compassionate communication What IS foraging, really? All the foraging nuances you never thought about! How our language is built around disconnection What would happen if everyone foraged?

Solo Elk Huntress w/ Christie Green
Christie Green spends days at a time in the mountains, in the snow, tracking elk, solo. Her hunting journey began at 40 as a practical way to feed herself and her family, and became a fierce and fluid exploration of womanhood, motherhood, stewardship, intuition, listening and kinship. Christie wrote a memoir about her experiences called Moonlight Elk that I rapturously devoured, licking my fingertips with every turn of the page, it is that delicious. 🦌 Terrain covered: Life in Sante Fe, New Mexico Hunting as a deep and embodied exploration of just about everything. Listening to other than human perspectives as a landscape architect Designing for soil, water, animal, pollination; landscapes in service of wild nature Learning to hunt at 40 Weaving values into business How to catch dreams Why would you want to hunt alone? Being an “other-centred” person Following desire and intuition The extreme paradox of loving and killing Defying categories and boxes Are there better and worse ways to hunt? Could and should everyone hunt? Communal local food relationships Walking in fear as a woman, as prey Dreams as soul expression Writing sex scenes that feature yourself The choiceless choice of creativity 🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS Christie’s home on the web Christie on Instagram Get your mitts on Moonlight Elk (note: you can buy it anywhere, or ask your library for copies) Moonlight Elk audiobook Selected essays by Christie Green 🧡 Join the Reskillience community on Patreon 🧡 Outro birdsong credit: Afro408 - License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0
