Kit Marie and Miriam Lancewood grab some thyme to brew from outside and chat about being ‘place-centred’ rather than ‘time-centred’, travelling and living in the wild with husband Peter, busking, and more!

Miriam Lancewood lived for 7 years with her husband Peter in the wilderness of New Zealand. They roamed around like nomads, cooked on a fire, slept in a tent, and Miriam learned to hunt with bow and arrow. They lived like our hunter gatherer ancestors. Miriam is author of books such as ‘Woman in the Wilderness’ and ‘Wild at Heart’.

Some links to things mentioned in the chat:
