She's back. This week's episode with poet/philosopher/somatic practitioner/earth-to-my-water Andrea Russell is just a straight-up healthy dose of philosophical conversation about what it means to be whole in a dismembered society-exploring how we find our purpose, what it means to be and connect to wildness, and to hold the complexity of contradiction as we seek to stay true to relationship and the intrinsic beauty of our humanity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wild-honey-collective/message

"Let no one ever say that I fell in love; I rose in it." -Toni Morrison TW: mention of childhood abuse.  Choosing the people that become family, for those whose family backgrounds have warped the experience of being and knowing that you are loved, is a revolutionary, healing act. In this poignant conversation about rising in love, Navy Graber describes her experience of building chosen family across perpetual long distance relationships as an international student transferring across majors and universities in search of an educational and communal place of belonging-and finally arriving at a place that feels like home, even if that place continues to evolve and change. Building thriving, loving relationships that serve the life one wants for themselves requires intention, intimacy, and vulnerability. Navy speaks about her exploration of this process, and how sharing her story transforms her trials into transformation-for herself and hopefully others, too.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wild-honey-collective/message

Talibah Atiya Najee Aquil is a multifaceted teacher, facilitator, artist, and healer,  but at the center of everything she does is a story of self and society-and helping others learn how to reclaim that story for themselves. This is getting to the root of healing work. Decolonizing perceptions, thoughts, and narratives about what it means to be Black in America, and in the world. She is founder of We Are Magic! Where she leads healing tours to Ghana for people of the African Diaspora to return to the place of their ancestral lineage and connect to their birthright to belong, be welcomed, and tell their own stories of their past, present, and future selves. Talibah graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre and earned her Masters in Conflict Transformation at The Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She crafts and tends spaces for trauma healing with a racial justice lens on the level of self, community, and culture using restorative justice, circle processes, poetry, music, dance, history, and lived experience. Talibah is also a lecturer at The Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at EMU, where she created a course entitled “Re-imagining Identity” that examines the intersections of identity, story-telling, dignity, and the arts; in this course she created safe spaces for student-teachers to explore the complexities of identity as it relates to oneself and others.

Where does healing really come from, and how can we recognize it as a more holistic vision than the easily recognized signals of health or disease given by our bodies? Sia Alexander is a healer, an entrepreneur, a curator, and (you might say) a pollinator of spiritual consciousness. Her answer to this question takes the shape of Pure Lagos: an Afropolitan experience in Norfolk, VA. Weaving together her extensive training in herbology, nutrition, yoga and spiritual healing, she curates the art gallery, boutique, apothecary, and social hospitality space that is Pure Lagos. She argues that Lagos, Nigeria and Norfolk, Virginia are not so distant: these are key points of healing that connect a cultural history that has been separated, with the potential for deep healing.  Follow Pure Lagos, find Sia's books, and work with Sia on spiritual and nutritional consulting at: @Pure_lagos on Instagram sialove.org Also follow: @wildhoney.collective on instagram And wildhoneycollective.org  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wild-honey-collective/message

Ecovillages. Intentional Communities. Communes. Cohousing communities. There's a whole world of communal living structures that seek to reimagine what it means to find home...together! There are many different definitions of these kinds of communities, but today I speak with Emiliano Espinosa of NextGEN North America (NextGENNA): a youth-focused ecovillage network that focuses on connecting young people with communities whose structure helps them live out their commitment to integrated sustainability. Integrated Sustainability is defined here as "whole systems thinking rooted in a holistic worldview that invites a broader range of individuals to become inspired by and contribute towards a socially, economically, ecologically, and culturally sustainable future" (1). We get into some exciting angles on this idea, including communities as social laboratories and playgrounds for collective imagination, ecovillages as experiential education opportunities, and challenging cultural ideas of self, success, and security. Enjoy this very last episode of season 1 of the podcast! Conversation Outline What is an ecovillage? (05:10) How does an ecovillage function (8:30) What stereotypes around this idea exist? (9:30) Integrated Sustainability: the shared value system of the Global Ecovillage Network (11:00) Pros & cons of communal living (18:30) Opportunities to explore: scholarships and connection hubs (21:00) Building an alternative to a culture of individualism (27:15) Social Laboratories: how alternative communities foster a culture of innovation (29:00) Storytelling (33:00) 1.

As the iconic Drag Queen RuPaul says, "You're born naked and the rest is drag." Queer community has a lot to teach itself. Born out of a struggle to claim the right to exist, queer expression, community-building, and love becomes acts of resistance to oppression. Friendly City Safe Space is Harrisonburg's first community center for LGBTQ+ people and aspiring allies. The spirit and practice of the space is all about crafting resonance. Creating a space where we can practice being curious about each other's exploration of how we want to express our sense of self to the world. Self expression is an unspoken language of self-definition, spoken in the way we choose to present ourselves to the world. Creating space for joy, play, and community is how Daniel Bellerose and the folks at Friendly City Safe Space try to nurture liberating self-expression. Challenging the tendency to reduce queer work to putting bandaids on how hard it is to be a queer person is also part of their work. Instead, they are asking the question: how can we be bright, vibrant, and playful in our commitment to being our authentic selves in the world, and creating the empowering space for others to do the same? Conversation Outline: -what is safe space all about? (00:00) -the origin story: how it all started (5:00) -how does holding intentional space for queer community and allies benefit everyone (11:00) -the real binary: queerness as a radical challenge to patriarchy (13:20) -the power of witnessing experimentation (16:30) -trans liberation work and icons (19:25) ancient queer mythology (28:25) What queer community can teach itself (35:03) Title quote: RuPaul: American Queen of Drag https://rupaul.com/ Honorable mentions: Alok V Menon: American writer, performance artist, and gender nonconforming media figure. https://www.alokvmenon.com/ Alexis Pauline Gumbs: writer, independent scholar, poet, activist and educator based in Durham, North Carolina Ocean Vuong: Vietnamese American poet, essayist and novelist.

*Sound warning* there are times in our recording where the wind or passing background noise interfere a bit with our sound. Think of it as the wind adding its voice to the conversation. Where does collective growth begin, if not with fertile, living soil? My guest today is writer, facilitator, teacher, and farmer Jonathan McRay, of Silver Run Forest Farm here at the foot of Massanutten along Cub Run, a tributary of the Shenandoah River. Silver Run Forest Farm is a riparian nursery and folk school rooted in love and living soil. These roots sprout out as agroforestry, watershed health, and restorative justice. They tend the silver waters of the Shenandoah - Cub Run, Blacks Run, and downstream - by farming in the image of the forest and remediating the toxins that pollute our souls, society, and soil, from chemical leaching to white supremacy. This conversation gets to the heartwood of what it means to cultivate the wealth of growing, sharing, and valuing our gifts in a web of unique contributions, through the practice of agroforestry. As a trio, the caretakers of Silver Run Forest Farm propogate beautiful and useful plants that are food and medicine for people and land. Trees are multifunctional creators; they give a multitude of life-sustaining gifts, just by being who they are and meeting their own needs. How can I learn from this way of being, and give myself full permission to be who I am, and in that process share a wealth of gifts that nurture life? How can I feed more life by living my most authentic life? "We see this as an expression of restorative justice, a way of transforming harm and injustice by respecting needs, holding ourselves accountable for healing, and making relationships and conditions as right as possible so that all creatures can be fully themselves!" Conversation Outline: Silver run forest farm: a way of being in the world (00:00) Learning from the underground economy of connection that the root systems of forests teach us; Photosynthesis as mutual aid: trees give __% of the energy they produce away as oxygen (that we breathe) (5:30) the gift of being oneself: how the trees show us (10:00) "breathing the world for us" Woodland collectives of the future: dreams of growing and tending trees, harvesting nuts and crafting them into flour and oil, fertile grounds for future livelihoods and economies of earth crafts.

Children are hard-wired for play. And approaches to early childhood education that create nurturing spaces for learning through play are taking new shapes in the spectrum of options increasingly available for pre-school and elementary education. In this conversation with Kristen Drake, lead-teacher and director of Fern Hollow Forest School, we explore the ways that traditional education models, especially for young kids, can be reimagined and reclaimed from what most people today think of as structured learning for kids ages 3-6. We also follow the thread of the natural curiosity we see in children, when encouraged and given a safe space to flourish, to the adult humans they grow into-and how we too need rich environments that awaken our senses and imaginations, as well as our drive to innovate and craft-ethically-from the forest, when we find ourselves there. More on Fern Hollow Forest School: https://fernhollowforestschool.com/ Conversation outline: Forest schools: what are they, and what role do they play? (00:00) play as a learning muscle (3:00) curiosity, intrinsic motivation, and integrity (7:00) outdoor education and health (14:00) unschooling, de-schooling, and forest schooling: breaking down the systemic barriers (*not* individual failings on the part of teachers and administrators) to nurturing the learning process; the weirdness of age segregation in public schools (30:00) access: barters and work-trades (35:00) growing into lifelong curiosity (42:00) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wild-honey-collective/message

Mill Song Bakery bakes naturally leavened breads stone-milled on site with local grains from the Chesapeake Bay watershed. 80% of their grains come from Rockingham County, right where they bake their delicious bread. Stone-milled, naturally leavened bread was once a specially curated art that was passed down over generations and regionally adapted to the conditions of a certain place. People would quite literally wear their sourdough culture around their necks in jewelry in some places to protect their cultural inheritance of a staple food that was co-adapted to your people's microbiome. Now, for bakeries, it is often considered a more labor-intensive alternative to baking with commercial yeasts and roller-milled flours. The problem with this is the commercial milling process separates out some of the most nutritious components-the wheat germ oil, for example-from the flour; and leavening the bread with commercial yeast speeds up the baking process, eliminating the fermentation element that makes the grain more digestible and probiotic. Nico Melas apprenticed as a baker in the Community of the Ark of Lanza del Vasto, a spiritual commune in southern France dedicated to embodying the principles of Gandhian nonviolence by bringing the hands, the head, and the heart into closer communion with the land and the belly. Now, you can taste the spirit-infused respect for tradition and the slow process of stone-milling flour fresh, on-site, to make Mill Song's uniquely crafted, naturally leavened breads. Subscribe to their Community Supported Bakery: the number one way you can support a small artisan business trying to make it in a world of sliced bread. When you sign up, you let them know which bread you'd like, and they have it ready for you every week for pick up at the bakery on Lincolnshire Rd, or at the farmer's market. Some lucky neighborhoods even have drop off hubs, so if you are an organizer, get your neighbors together and make yours one of them! Call them up to start your CSB subscription (540)-434-1001, or you can always pick up a loaf at the Harrisonburg Farmer's Market-where you'll find Nico and his son Moises every Saturday from 8-1.

In this special episode, our guest Gabe Huck maps a critical questioning of the American conscious over his own lifetime, from the civil rights era to the U.S. war in Iraq. His life's work as a publisher in a small wing of peace-driven theological literature has instilled in him a great respect for knowledge, while a lifetime of stepping into the frontlines of the nation's fights for racial justice and sovereignty have solidified his commitment to the reparations movement. This led him and his partner Theresa to found the Iraqi Student Project in 2007, which helped connect displaced Iraqis in Syria to fully funded higher education in North America, and helped prepare them for their studies. We trace Gabe's core influences in his own intellectual evolution and then talk about how this project came to be, and where it has led both of them now in their lives in Harrisonburg, Virginia. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wild-honey-collective/message

What is climate grief? Many of us carry a lot of grief that we are part of a culture that we can't live into a more wholesome and life-giving framework for how to exist. We need a way to live that will allow us to process the anguish of knowing that we are a part of harmful ways of living, and even maintain our  sanity in the face of those hard truths. And for Ben Wyse (Wyse Cycles), the bicycle is part of that. It is a spiritual discipline. "The lifestyle patterns we choose that we have grown up in cause suffering in the world, and if we are not willing to make changes in our lifestyle, then how do we make sense of the grief that we carry in what we represent in the world? It's a question of longing for something better, and what are the disciplines we have that express what is central to our very identity and ethical framework?"

The potential for transformation of all things is always possible. We learn this from seeing the bees who alchemize flowers into the medicine of honey as our teachers. We also learn from teachers like Theresa-who has dedicated her life to teaching as a subversive activity & the role of intergenerational relationships in growing our capacity to know & tell the truth -from fighting for critical race theory to learning how to express yourself authentically without feeding into waste & harm.

In the very first episode of the pod, we talk about the intentional practice of cultivating our dreams as a form of, as Miriam Kaba says, worldmaking. Dreaming is our starting point because it is an exercise in cultivating the imagination we need to guide our sacred work, so that we can offer it to future generations who will be the expressions of our own wildest dreams.
