In this episode, I’m sharing some of what I’ve learned about how we can aspire to have roots as deep, large, and well-connected as the wise women of our lineages. I explore how our lives might change if we knew how to fully inhabit where we are, remembered how sleep helps us grow roots, and could be more stable in the face of these wild times.

The conversation revolves around the concept of sustainable, nature-driven farming practices. Teresa Lubano reflects on her father's farm in Kitale, emphasizing a less intensive, more natural approach to farming. Described is a rotational grazing system for cattle, allowing them to graze freely on various paddocks, which results in meat perceived as more organic and flavourful. The farm also includes indigenous trees, which support biodiversity and produce high-quality honey. She argues that this method, which involves minimal human intervention, aligns with natural cycles and is a form of kindness to nature. She concludes by advocating for this approach (nature-driven farming) to be studied and taught as a blend of science and art, suggesting it as a more sustainable and ethical way of farming.

The White Wolf and the Full Moon

Regardless of the fact that I’ve been a DJ for more than a quarter of a century, it took me decades to truly connect with my body. Here’s a soundtrack capturing how I finally succeeded this past year. Music to sink into your body. To float out of your mind. To dance through the grass. To frolick over the mountains. I believe that by learning to rewild our minds and love our bodies, we can create a better, more joyful, and more just world. Together.

As animals, our brains float above the planet’s surface. We were made to be mobile and carry our intelligence with us. A huge leap for mankind is happening right now. Contained within our minds and everything around us is the solution to our anxiety. Ecologist and naturalist Simon Mustoe shows us how to consume a more balanced variety of knowledge to become healthier and happier by reconnecting with nature. The key to avoiding disaster is to work within the natural balance of our beautiful world. Cats can make us too conservative (or just enough). Grasshoppers, eels and blue gropers teach us to solve global obesity and food crises. Simply saving wildlife in our own backyards can reduce cost of living by sixty or seventy times.
How to Survive the Next 100 Years unlocks the power of our relationship with animals and nature and shows us we are already on our way to rebuilding a healthy, habitable planet.

In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Simon Mustoe about how our consumption of negative news about the environment can affect our hope for the future of the planet, how animals and re-wilding can change our environment in a very short space of time, and how positive change is happening at all levels – from the corporate down to your local environment.

Climate Stories Project (CSP) is an educational and artistic forum for sharing personal stories about the effects of climate change on our lives and communities. CSP focuses on personal oral histories, which bring an immediacy to the sometimes abstract nature of climate change communication. Some of us may recount dramatic events such as floods and wildfires, or we may address our observations of changes in seasonal patterns and our fears for the future of our families and communities. We may discuss how climate change is forcing our communities to adapt to extreme weather and sea level rise. Or we may speak about how we are getting involved in the movement to fight the fossil fuel industry through community organizing or nonviolent protest.There is no "right" way to talk about climate change, as it is a vast topic that is increasingly touching every corner of our lives. CSP also facilitates educational workshops where students learn to speak about their own responses to climate change and interview guest speakers about theirs. In addition, some climate stories are featured in music and soundscape projects that allow audiences to witness the effects of climate change in a novel way.
