Maria Rodale - Love Nature Magic - Y on Earth Community Podcast The post Episode 142 – Maria Rodale, Author of “Love, Nature, Magic” first appeared on Y on Earth Community.

Love Nature Magic Guest Maria Rodale, Author, LOVE NATURE MAGIC     In her new book, Love Nature Magic: shamanic journeys into the heart of my garden, Maria Rodale shows how she came into relationship with the plants, animals and insects that inhabit her garden and helps readers come to understand nature's consciousness, intelligence and high awareness. When people slow down, release control and start paying close attention to Nature, the magic starts to happen. This episode begins with the story of a magical experience with an intelligent and resilient butterfly, and then it leads into a conversation with Maria Rodale. Bestselling author, activist and gardener Maria Rodale is a board member and former co-chair of the Rodale Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to growing the regenerative organic agriculture movement through research, farmer training and education. She is also the former CEO of Rodale Inc., the global health and wellness media company that has published many notable books and periodicals, including Organic Gardening, Men's Health, Women's Health and Prevention magazines. Under the pen name of Mrs. Peanuckle, Rodale has written a delightful series of board books that celebrate the joy nature brings to young children. Each “Alphabet” book presents a different category of nature: birds, bugs, flowers, trees, fresh fruits, vegetables and more. From A to Z, the bold colorful pages will engage parents, enchant toddlers and inspire the youngest of budding environmentalists and curious scientists. Throughout her life, Maria has advocated for the potential of organic regenerative farming to heal the damage wrought by pesticides and industrial agricultural practices and their toxic impacts on human and planetary health, including reversing climate change. The underlying theme of Maria's work is this: If we stop interfering and allow Nature to do her thing, ultimately, she will heal herself and us.

This week's guest on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast, Maria Rodale, has a family lineage tied to the foundation of organic gardening research. The post Podcast: Journeying with Maria Rodale appeared first on Gardenerd.

Waylon talks with publisher, author, activist (and gardener!) Maria Rodale. We'll discuss her humorous and surprising conversations with the spirits of plants and animals via shamanic journeys, as discussed in her new book: Love, Nature, Magic. "I had been doing shamanic journeying on my own for about 10 years and I was out gardening one day and really annoyed. Totally annoyed by this one weed, right? Mugwort. Like, I wanted to kill it—to the point where I was almost ready to use [Monsanto's poison] Roundup, which is crazy.  So I decided to do a shamanic journey to see if I could talk to this plant and find out why it was so annoying. ...And that opened up a whole new world for me." ~ Maria Rodale

In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Maria Rodale, author of Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys into the Heart of My Garden.

Why are we putting explosives on our plants? On this episode, Colleen charts the history of ammonium nitrate, the synthetic fertilizer that propelled the rise of industrial agriculture in the 20th century--cheap to manufacture, but spectacularly costly in terms of lives lost. This highly explosive compound has caused some of the worst industrial accidents of all time (Oppau, 1921, Texas City, 1947, Toulouse, 2001, West, Texas, 2013, Tianjin, 2015, and Beirut, 2020) and was the terrorist weapon used in Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995.  Nitrogen is critical to all life, and as any farmer or gardener knows, is the first ingredient in fertilizers (the “N” in the N-P-K). Plants can’t naturally pull nitrogen out of the air without the help of soil microbes; it wasn’t until the invention of the Haber-Bosch Process in 1910 that humans found a way to cut out the microbial middlemen and provide nitrogen to plants in synthetic form.  We discuss the role of nitrogen in plant life, the disastrous toll of the Beirut bombing, Trump’s rollback of EPA regulations on fertilizer facilities, and how going organic (“teaming with microbes”) can help save the planet.  ...And then, to lighten things up, we read a listener letter! Horticulturati fan Mike has a bone to pick with us about our Xeriscape episode and pooh-poohing of “Martian landscapes” filled with rocks, but we agree his use of rocks in dry-creek bed design is the exception that proves the rule.  Drop us a line at www.horticulturati.com Here’s a YouTube playlist of the ammonium nitrate explosion videos discussed and a YouTube playlist of Leah and Colleen’s Central Texas Gardener appearances on KLRU-TV.  Mentioned in this episode:  “Arson Blamed For West Fertilizer Explosion,” Texas Farm Bureau (May 11, 2015); “West unveils memorial six years after fertilizer plant explosion killed 15,” The Texas Tribune (April 17, 2019); “Trump EPA eases safety requirements enacted after West explosion,” The Texas Tribune (November 5, 2016); Beirut blast: How does ammonium nitrate create such devastating explosions?

Maria is a lifelong advocate of organic farming and gardening and is third generation in a legacy of commitment to organic agricultural practices.

Maria believes in not only spreading knowledge on how to live a healthy life, but also how to live a good life. People can live a healthy life and still be sick, says Maria, while people who lead unhealthy lives might live a long life, "at the end of the day you can live a long life and leave damage behind you or you can live a short or long life and leave a lot of happiness behind you." And she believes that food is one of the answers to living a happier life, "People who are well fed and well-rounded tend to be happier than people who are starving or starving themselves."
