Send Catherine a text Message"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. The warrior's approach is to say 'yes' to life: 'yea' to it all."-- Joseph CampbellHow do you stay engaged with the creative potential of this time? How can you participate to bring something positive, necessary, unprecedented, into our constantly evolving world?These questions are in the forefront of my mind. I'm intrigued by Campbell's emphasis on joy, and the suggestion that joy is part of the "warrior's approach." But I wonder what being a "warrior" might look like and if it's a useful image/role for me. I brought these questions to a Buddhist teaching story called "The Tigress Jataka" and share the story and my reflections in this episode.Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Winter is here in the UK, so while Saul and Lucy hunker down, don layers and fire up the kettle more frequently than usual, what do their minds turn to in the garden? This is the perfect season for clearance of 2025 growth, for establishing new designs and for de-cluttering stores and greenhouses. Any hours that you can put into the garden now, will reward you hugely come spring and summer, when the jobs mount up. Quick - more tea and biscuits!And they're off! While Saul enjoys his new life in a warm, dry office, Lucy is dodging the weather whilst still attempting to earn a crust (thank goodness for gardening radio and magazines :-). Snowfall and storm Goretti force her to dance the merry winter waltz, as she sidesteps sleet and soggy spells. Her body also reminds her that two weeks of doing very little physically, followed by intense compost hurling then a rapid cooldown, spells a date with Mr Nurophen and Master Wheatbag. Onwards and upwards then, for next week!LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Hello to you listening in Suffolk, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for an important story) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Each one of us - if we're determined - finds a way to compost the regrets, poor decisions, failures, shames and blames that are part and parcel of living life into something almost beyond description: personal transformation. My long time friend, podcasting colleague, disabled military vet, and avid hiker, Keith McNally, is a man finding his path to transformation.His goal? Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail beginning on March 29, 2026, crossing 14 states on the East Coast and finishing 2,197 miles 5 months later. Some of the challenges include constant rough terrain with difficult footing, a series of steep grades, climbs and descents, as well as river crossings balanced on logs, extreme weather, insects, and rock scrambles using hands for climbing. The elevation profile of the AT over its length is akin to summiting Mount Everest from sea level and back approximately 16 times. So yes, physical fitness is a must to take on the AT; but it is mental fortitude and the ability to adapt to unforseen challenges that is key to finishing the hike.Keith's journey will be a test of perseverance, a tribute to the beauty of the natural world, and an opportunity for personal growth. Even more importantly, Keith is setting the groundwork for a non-profit foundation to help military veterans find their own Trails to Transformation. This first hike is just the beginning.  But here's something else. Keith is not walking alone. He has also been steadfastly training an indefatigable Aussie cattle dog he named Ashley after rescuing her from a shelter. Click HERE to watch a short video entitled:  Introduction to Ashley - Trail Partner and Training CompanionAs you can imagine, an expedition like this one does not come cheap. I know money is dear.

Most Kiwis will be taking time off over the summer, and while most of us are probably looking forward to relaxing before next year kicks back in, some will be looking for things to do. If you're searching for ideas, Kate Hall has a few ideas for sustainable activities you can do over the summer break. Waste audit Go through one week's worth of rubbish and see what the main culprits are, then make a plan for how to reduce those in the new year (e.g. bread packets, see if your local bakery will let you bring your own cloth bag to get bread or find a recipe and start making your own). Gardening Start small with herbs or start even smaller by getting a book out of the library on gardening (Edible Garden by Kath Irvine is great and NZ based). Pick your own fruit Go to a pick-your-own berry spot and stock up – preserve or freeze them to eat all year round! Beach cleanup Attend a local one or do your own at your favourite beach (we enjoy beaches a lot during summer so it's great to give back!). Explore a regional park and learn about the local ecology Start a conversation At a BBQ or Christmas function, talk with someone about sustainable living, what/if their values are sustainable – keep the convo positive and curious. Start a compost Summer is ideal because everything breaks down faster – and you have time to set one up! A worm farm, bokashi or compost is great.

Send Catherine a text MessageThe end of a year and our seasonal holidays invite evaluation, reflection on what the future holds, and longing for some type of renewal. A fresh start. A clean slate. Restoration.

Ever wonder what gardeners truly need when the skies won't clear and the soil stays cold and heavy? We open the vault on six years of downloads to reveal the ten most-listened episodes and the lessons they teach us about resilient design, living soils, and planting that thrives despite the weather. This is a practical, story-rich tour through the conversations that changed how we grow.We start with structure and colour: smart garden design and June Blake's vivid plant choices that keep borders alive for months. Then we head underground. Dr Elaine Ingham demystifies the Soil Food Web, turning biology into decisions you can make at the bed edge. Charles Dowding's no-dig approach shows the payoff of compost and calm soil—fewer weeds, better moisture, and crops that root fast. Along the way, we unpack the enduring pull of companion planting, from predator-friendly flowers to classic pairings that cut pests without chemicals.Craft and adaptation anchor the middle of the list. Compost coach Kate Flood maps hot heaps, worm farms, and bokashi to your space and schedule so you can turn waste into a reliable soil engine. We revisit organic growing with Klaus Leitenberger for varieties that actually like Irish summers, and we tap into Niall Macaulay's creator mindset for simple, repeatable techniques. A surprise chart-climber—growing lavender in Ireland—proves that the right hardy varieties and drainage can deliver scent and pollinators even in a soggy year. We round out with wildflower meadows guided by Sandro Caffola, a masterclass in building habitat and beauty together.By the end, you'll know where to start, what to try next, and which episodes to queue up for specific goals—better soils, cleaner beds, longer bloom, and crops that cope. If this countdown helps you plan your next season, follow the show, share it with a gardener who needs a lift, and leave a quick review so we can keep shaping episodes around what helps you grow most.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Today, I'm thrilled to share my conversation with Nathan. He's the Director of Soil and a long-time force behind Rust Belt Riders, a cooperative composting operation that's grown from bicycles and buckets to launching a mid-scale compost facility. Their story is truly inspiring—not just because of the growth, but because of how intentionally they've done it.We talk about the early days, what it's been like to scale, and the importance of their unique cooperative business structure—which sets them apart in the composting world. And toward the end of the conversation, Nathan shares his beautiful vision of a compost-centric utopian future. It's heartfelt, imaginative, and honestly, something we could all use a bit more of.Check out Rust Belt Riders (

In this episode of The Lexy Show, we dig deep into radical sustainability with Ashleigh Dawson, the founder and president of Recycle2Riches. What started as a personal wake-up call against the waste and overproduction in fashion has turned into a mission to shift how we buy, wear, and recycle for good.  Ashleigh also shares inspiring stories from the ground  from community workshops to volunteer efforts, and why grassroots change is the backbone of what they do.  If you care about style, sustainability, and smarter consumption — or if you just want to believe change is possible  this episode will leave you rethinking your closet and your footprint.

Today's episode comes from a walk-and-talk at Green Mountain Compost in Vermont with Dan Goossen. Dan was super generous with his time—he gave us a full tour of the site and shared insights from over 20 years in the composting world.There's a lot to take away from this conversation, The first half of the interview is about site process and new techniques Green Mountain has adopted for quality and efficincy. The second half is about Dan's experience being the first compost operator in the country to publicly deal with persistent herbicide contamination. Back in 2012, before anyone really knew about these chemicals, Green Mountain Compost made national news when they discovered 10,000 cubic yards of compost had been affected.It all started with one customer calling about a garden that wasn't growing right... then came 500 more. You can imagine the heartbreak—putting your heart into making great compost, only to find out that an unknown herbicide in manure can ruin your whole batch.Dan's openness in sharing what happened has helped the whole industry move forward. It's a powerful story. Dan also shares awesome tips and enhancements on their site: there's a lot to learn here.Check out Green Mountain Compost at https://cswd.net/waste-recycling-help/organics/green-mountain-compost/Thank you to our Show sponsors:AgriLab Technologies: www.agrilabtech.com/podcastCompost Systems of Austria: https://www.compost-systems.com/enMerch:https://www.earthcarefarm.com/store/c3/Clothing.htmlContact:Host Jayne Merner can be reached at info@earthcarefarm.com or through instagram @composterpodcast

This conversation with Parul Jagdish (EP275), Thomas Schindler (LI) and Lars Lægreid (LI) is about the Oslo Project. The moonshot project for resourcing and liberating new imaginations for our world. Similar to the Manhattan project, compiling thousands of individuals across the world in the 40's, the Oslo projects aims to direct $400 bn towards regenerative futures. We spoke of dematerialisation, of what it means to have had luck, to integrate to move forward - combining science with other ways of knowing. We spoke of scale, lore, education. How curious it is that our hopes and dreams are so similar at the moment across political divides and walks of life. The invitation is for you to get involved.

The 2025 summit, with a theme of “Seed to Spoon,” took place in mid-June earlier this year in the heart of Ohio's Amish country.Homesteaders, farmers, gardeners, educators, and healthy food advocates spent two days together participating in hands-on workshops, listening to keynote presentations, and networking with like-minded people.For many Americans, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of supply chains, including the food supply chain. The summit's focus was on learning how to grow, preserve, and prepare homegrown food.While at the summit, I spoke with organizer John Miller to learn about the philosophy behind this growing homesteading and self-sufficiency movement. I also spoke with renowned farmer Joel Salatin about what new trends he's seeing.I even got some hands-on practice pressure-canning beef tacos with the help of Sarah Thrush, a canning expert and social media influencer.“There's a lot of reasons people can, but one of them is so they can decide what goes in the jar, like if you have health concerns, or if you want to know what your food is sourced from, or you just like your chili recipe and you want it in bulk,” Thrush said. “It's like the ultimate meal prep.”I also spoke to physician Julian Douwes, who flew to Ohio all the way from Germany. Dr. Douwes is the director at Clinicum St. Georg in Bad Aibling, Germany, where they developed the first known cure for Lyme disease. Many people in the Ohio Amish community suffer from Lyme disease. Miller himself was cured from an awful case of the disease through this therapy, called whole-body hyperthermia.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Jake Zwaagstra is the CEO of TriCelta Development and a veteran builder of complex hospitality projects from the Las Vegas Strip to tribal mega-developments. He's worked both GC-side and owner-side, translating vision into budgets, drawings into buildings, and chaos into opening days. Susan and Jake talk about function over flair and momentum over mayhem. What You'll Learn About: • The owner's-eye view that changes everything about building • Lessons hotel development can steal from nuclear projects • The real difference between a project manager and a development manager • What developers actually do day to day on hotel builds • Smart ways to stay ahead of supply-chain chaos • Why front-desk mockups save years of operator frustration • The three-part formula for better design decisions • How model rooms power everything from IT to marketing • Why tech-forward hotels still need human touch • How to rescue a luxury project from $1,100-per-foot wallpaper Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Development Management Is More Than Construction Jake distinguishes development management from project management—it's about guiding the project from concept to completion, not just managing timelines and contractors. His team's role is to translate an owner's vision into an operationally sound, financially viable, and buildable reality. They stay several steps ahead of potential roadblocks—whether that's tariffs, supply chain issues, or union disputes—to keep the project moving and protect the owner's investment. 2. Function and Long-Term Operations Trump Aesthetics Jake's philosophy is clear: never "value engineer" something that affects the operator's ability to run the property. Early decisions—like front desk ergonomics, model room mockups, and material choices—should be made with the day-two operator in mind. He prioritizes function over form, lead time over looks, and performance over preference to ensure hotels are built to operate smoothly and sustainably long after the ribbon-cutting. 3. Communication and Accountability Are the Secret Weapons Lessons from outside hospitality, such as his experience building a nuclear enrichment facility, reinforced Jake's belief in over-communication and structured accountability. His "Plan of the Day" approach—daily 15-minute check-ins to clarify goals and track follow-through—keeps massive projects aligned and moving. That same mindset applies to hospitality development: clear expectations, daily progress, and follow-up ensure no one loses sight of the big picture, even on complex, multi-year builds.

Whether buying or making your own, how do you tell if compost is any good? We go deep on this question with Jason Gearheart of Integrated Elements Compost in Columbus, Indiana in this week's podcast interview. Jason honed his compost-making skills as a student of Dr. Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web School, and now he makes a variety of products including vermicompost, biologically active compost, compost tea and more.Biologically active compost goes beyond macronutrient analysis to make sure compost has enough of the beneficial microbes to build the soil life that is so beneficial to plants. In this interview we talk about what classes of microbes we are looking for, how to identify them and how to encourage the right ones during the composting process. We also discuss the merits of different compost feedstocks, composting temperature and turning intervals, and how to know when compost is done in this exploration of one of the most important soil amendments!Connect With Guest:Website: iecompost.com Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.
