A foundational way to live , to realise and get a sense of the depth of our relationship with the earth.
Why I’m Foraging 100% of My Food and Medicine for a Year
“Foraging is a practice of critical thinking: one of the most important skills for living harmoniously and peacefully.
Foraging is a practice of breaking free from restrictive societal norms and becoming a free human.
Foraging is a practice of healing our relationship with Earth. We need more foragers. Foragers fall in love and become stewards of the natural spaces where their food and medicine comes from. They become protectors and defenders of Earth.
Foraging is a joyful act of resistance to the dominator structures that want us to blindly consume. It is an active resistance to the current food system that is contributing to the sixth mass extinction.
Foraging is decentralization. It is localization. It is closed-loop and low waste. It is one of the most sustainable ways to harvest our food. Foraging is power in the hands of the people!
Foraging is about reconnection and reconnection is the remedy for disconnection, the great wound of humanity.”
“I am overcoming this illusion of separateness that was so deeply ingrained in me and foraging is a powerful act of embracing my interconnectedness with it all. I believe that Earth can provide us with everything we need in a sustainable way. Theoretically I know this to be true. But I want to feel this in every cell of my body. I want to embody a cellular knowing that Earth provides. Foraging 100% of my food and medicine is a deep test and I hope for substantial mental gains from this effort.”
“This is my way of finding a deep home on Earth, and in my home there is no room for destruction. When we love, we care for and we will go to great lengths to protect. With each harvest, each bite, each new relationship, I am falling more deeply in love with the Earth.”
“I want to embody this so strongly that it can be felt in my presence everywhere I go. I want to share my life through my message with joyous vigor. And not just felt but transmitted to others.”
