Sally starts the podcast with a brief poem by Philip Larkin, a complex poem of springtime, grief, and renewal. The trees all around the boat take Sally's mind back to the horse chestnut tree of her youth, where she and her brother used to play, and which became a companion to her as she started to read books. A hunt for a pack of pesky wasp invaders, headed by an indignant Queen, ends up with Sally pruning the nearby hawthorn and willow trees, in whose branches the neighbourhood water vole has been spotted, and listening to the chirruping of the birds. She turns to a work by novelist John Fowles – who, just like Sally, grew up feeling deeply connected to trees, drawing on them for creative inspiration. Arguing passionately for the importance of preserving nature in its wild state, Fowles felt connected to trees all his life, from the orchards of his childhood to the woodlands of Devon and Dorset. Fowles published his autobiographical book The Tree in 1979, describing nature and writing as interconnected,  “siblings, branches of one tree”.   The book is considered to have created a new genre, “nature-as-memoir”, taken up later by authors including Richard Mabey, who Sally mentions towards the end of the episode. Mabey, born in 1941, is a pioneering nature-and-culture writer, someone who did a huge amount to bring to public attention the networked, social nature of trees, writing books such as Nature Cure and The Ash and The Beech. The interconnected roots of trees, the way they can communicate with and support each other, has also been explored in books such as The Hidden Life of Trees (by Peter Wohlleben). The Trees one of the best known poems by the leading 20th century poet Philip Larkin (1922 to 1985), can be found here: https://poetryarchive.org/poem/trees/ The producer of the podcast is Andrew Smith: https://www.fleetingyearfilms.com The extra voice in this episode is Emma Fielding.

Welcome to episode 129 with Richard Mabey, a writer and broadcaster who has been writing about the natural world for more than 50 years and is considered by many to be the father of modern nature writing. His first book Food for Free was published in 1972 and has never been out of print.  He has written over 30 books since. At the age of 61 Richard endured a series of life events that led to a breakdown and a period of depression that lasted for two years.  He fell out of love with the natural world and was unable to write. After some time in hospital, Richard moved to Norfolk to be cared for by friends and slowly started to write about his new surroundings, and his recovery, in real time.  This work became the memoir Nature Cure which was published in 2005. In this episode I chat to Richard about his early years and how his interest in the natural world began. We chat about his life and his experiences with mental ill health and we chat about the series of events that led to his two years of depression and how he came back from it. We also chat about the association between nature and mental health and how we could be in danger of degrading nature in to a form of green anti-depressant.

We're back to our apothecary shelf herb profile tour! This week we have a pair of herbs who both support respiratory function. They demonstrate two types of heat: pungency and the hot aromatics.The root of elecampane, Inula helenium, taste in a way we fondly refer to as “peppery mud”. This herb is fantastic for cold, damp lung conditions. When you feel like you'd need a shovel to get all the phlegm out of your lungs, look to elecampane for help. Inula is also an excellent digestive herb, and these effects are most comprehensive when it's taken as a decoction.The leaves and, especially, the berries of juniper (Juniperus communis) are bright with warm, airy aromatic movement. Simply holding a berry in your mouth and letting its vapors pervade your sinuses & lungs is an old trick from the Nature Cure movment. Today it's a good habit for when you're traveling or in a large group of humans! Juniper's an excellent urinary antiseptic also, and for Katja, it's a standout emotional support herb.Our Respiratory Health course includes more discussion of elecampane & juniper, as well as other key herbs to work with, and methods for targeting herbal remedies to the sinuses & lungs. Asthma, cold/flu/corona, COPD, and other troubles are covered in detail. Plus, you get everything that comes with enrollment in our courses. That includes: lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, a buzzing student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Elise and I loooove nature and thanks to the inspiration of Florence Williams' book about nature and humans, The Nature Fix, we speak to the benefits of seeing nature in this episode.If you have listened to any of our recent episodes you are starting to understand how valuable nature is to our physical and mental health and wellbeing. The experience of seeing nature with our eyes has profound effects.  To begin with sunlight helps with dopamine in our eyes and impacts eye shape and thus can promote proper formation of the eyeball itself. Without it the eye can take on an oval shape causing near-sightedness. Our eyes are also see red very well which is what helps us distinguish healthy foods but also can alert us to danger. Interestingly red was the first color given a name in many cultures after naming black and white. Counter to that blue and green have a very calming and universal connectedness effect. This is why so many hospitals use these colors, so that patients may experience the calming benefits of those colors, like speedier healing and less pain meds.We also discuss fractal patterns which is a word that explains many of the self-repeating patterns of nature, for instance fern leaves. The term was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975.  Our body has many examples of fractal patterns within so it is no wonder that witnessing fractal patterns can create a positive mental response in humans. Some studies have shown that these patterns can reduce stress and mental fatigue by 60%. So get outside or go buy some plants!Taken from Florence Williams' book we talk about ... A Dutch study of over 10,000 households that found people of similar incomes living near more vegetation experienced less loneliness, and by an office study showing that subjects in rooms with potted plants were more generous to others when ask to distribute five dollars than those in a room without plants” - F. Williams. Check out her website HEREThere is not shortage of data out there that demonstrates how valuable looking at natural settings and plants can be for humans. Remember we are animals. Elise and I recommend adding walks in nature, plants in the office and vacations in natural habitats to calm the mind and uplift the spirits. #optoutside (Thanks REI)Thanks for your support of our podcast.

Hey there and welcome to the we move podcast. So we've had a few weeks off for the start of the year coinciding with a few weeks of waiting for our guests to become available. So this week we are continuing our conversations about food and farming, all linked with the podcast titled Staying Alive in Toxic Times. and because, food is super important for us all as it is the root of many of the problems regarding health and wellbeing. Todays episode we speak to Glen Burrows founder of Ethical Butcher who we have had on a couple of times, but this episode is specifically to talk about Regenuary which is the initiative for the month of January to raise awareness and encourage us to buy our food from producers who follow a Regenerative approach to farming, because the food is better for us and the process is better for the planet. What always strikes me is how these ideas for eating, getting healthy, or back in shape tend to be just for a month in the year, rather than a way of living and a constant practice. Nothing that we speak about in the episode but it seems to be the way that one idea is pitted against another, even though they all are heading in the same direction and require the same consistent year round action, not just a month. In fact is is Chris speaking to Glen today, and whilst the conversation might be seen as Regenuary vs Veganuary. It is I would say about the relationship we all have with food, that we can have differing views on the way we eat food , but the health of our selves and the planet might actually be better if we worked together in our similarities and respected the differences but realise we need the contrast of difference to move us forward. And maybe if we apply those principles to fitness, to relationships, to money, to health, to family to everything then there is a good chance that improvements will be made. Next week we speak to Josiah Meldrew of Hodmedods, another farmer but from the non meat world and it is a perfect companion to this episode but from another perspective within the same realm. I think the two of them combine quite nicely. And also next week, we release our eight week newsletter programme, which is a weekly series of 3 ideas per week for laying a foundation in movement, health and wellbeing provided by 3 of our good friends and long time collaborators, Barney Gabos of Whitehart CrossFit, Oxygen Advantage Master coach David Jackson and Osteopath and Nature Cure practitioner Alex Johnson. So if you're interested in that, and you're already on our mailing list, you will receive that and if you would like to receive it, sign up to our mailing list on the website wemove.world and that will automatically arrive that to your inbox. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, or a raw beginner, this will be a useful refresher series or an entry point if you are wanting to supplement your training or start something that will make a difference to your life. It's three short videos, and purposefully very few words, but things that you can consume and you can do at home. And then at the end of that eight weeks, the plan is to get people together for a day of training, ideas and food, because quite frankly it's getting to the time when we need to move together. Thanks so much. And, as always, if you like what we do share it. And if you are considering supporting a podcast, do think of this one. We have a very simple link on our instagram and website where you can shout us “coffee” to keep the podcast moving on. As always, thanks for listening and from Chris and me Peace.

Climate change presents new challenges to human health. As temperatures rise, tropical and sub-tropical diseases are already becoming more widespread. While climate change has consequences on human health, engaging with the natural world can also have benefits for physical and mental health. But, how do we best communicate and explain these issues and the choices we face. Des Fitzgerald talks to Samantha Walton and Christopher Sanders about their research and discuss the challenges the climate and nature emergency presents to human health, and how we might respond. Dr Christopher Sanders is a Fellow in Entomology, Epidemiology and Virology at the Pirbright Institute funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), which is part of UK Research and Innovation. His research focuses on the physiological and behavioural attributes that enable an insect species to transmit a pathogen. Since 2006, his work has explored the behaviour of Culicoides biting midges, a type of small insect which has the potential to be transported over long distances on prevailing winds, carrying viruses with it. https://www.pirbright.ac.uk/users/dr-christopher-sanders Dr Samantha Walton is a poet and Reader in Modern Literature at Bath Spa University. Her research explores psychology and environmentalism; experimental poetics, fiction of the 1920s-30s; and the Scottish novelist and nature writer, Nan Shepherd. Walton is the author of The Living World: Nan Shepherd and Environmental Thought, and the forthcoming Everybody Needs Beauty: In Search of the Nature Cure. Between 2016-2018, Walton was an Early Career Leadership Fellow working on the AHRC-funded project, Cultures of Nature and Wellbeing: Connecting Health and the Environment through Literature. This project involved working with environment and health policymakers and wellbeing practitioners, and original research into what literature tells us about our emotional and ethical entanglements with the living world. You can read more about the project here: https://culturenaturewellbeing.wordpress.com Professor Des Fitzgerald is a New Generation Thinker based at the University of Exeter. You can find a new podcast series Green Thinking: 26 episodes 26 minutes long in the run up to COP26 made in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, part of UKRI, exploring the latest research and ideas around understanding and tackling the climate and nature emergency. New Generation Thinkers Des Fitzgerald and Eleanor Barraclough will be in conversation with researchers on a wide-range of subjects from cryptocurrencies and finance to soil and sustainable transport. The podcasts are all available from the Arts & Ideas podcast feed - and collected on the Free Thinking website under Green Thinking where you can also find programmes on festivals, rivers, eco-criticism and the weather. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07zg0r2 For more information about the research the AHRC's supports around climate change and the natural world you can visit: https://www.ukri.org/our-work/responding-to-climate-change/ or follow @ahrcpress on twitter.

For centuries, we've had an intuitive sense that connecting with “nature” is good for our wellbeing. But what's the hard evidence? What exactly is “nature” anyway? Should we be wary of it being prescribed as a catch-all cure for complex problems? And what impact does nature writing itself actually have? Science writer Lucy Jones talks to Alice Bloch about her prize-winning book ‘Losing Eden', which surveys the mass of research – from the work of Carl Jung to cutting-edge neurology, medical and social science – on why our minds need the wild.

They get directly into the body, into the stomach without having to go through all of the other channels.” “I think sometimes we get very wrapped up in just the physical of like what we eat and what we supplement with without taking into consideration everything else.” “The first law is what I call the love vitality, the vital force.” “The second is the law of disease...the founder of naturopathic medicine states that disease is caused by three things...and in modern language, these are - deficiency, toxicity, and weak vitality.”  “Looking at their symptoms which are really a reflection of an imbalance of imbalances. It's the way their body's pivoting, almost light a fighter... I don't see their symptoms as something that's wrong. It's more like this is the way their body compensated for an imbalance.” “I think it's how we've been taught. It's how we've been trained. You know, there's a pill for your ill. So just tell me the ill, give me the pill and let me move on. But then that person never actually feels better. They don't achieve vitality.” “ The powerful thing is that it's not having the right modality or having the right supplement, it's having the right way of thinking. I find that so liberating” “Your body will never lie to you” The fourth law is the Law of Compensation. Again from the founder of Naturopathic medicine, in his book, Nature Cure, written in 1913, he said that - ‘Everything you do to the body has first a primary action that is easily observed, and it's short-lived, It's transient, it lasts a short time. Then there's always a secondary reaction that goes in the opposite direction of the first that is actually much more long-lasting and more potent.” “The sixth law is the Law of Synergy - we can combine different therapies, different modalities, and they have a much greater effect than if they were just used individually...certain plants, when used together, are much more powerful than by themselves.” “A lot of that convenience, food, and lifestyle is leading to a very inconvenient decrease in our health” “Cytokines, in their very essence, are signaling cells and they're little proteins that cascade, one into the next.” “The seventh law is arguably the most important of them all, the Law of Intention. We really are the summation of what we think and feel and believe. And so what we intend, if we can visualize healing, that has an enormous impact on the outcome.” “Listen to your body, listen to its feedback, and then start to apply these different healing laws” “You just have to be willing to sit back and observe to sometimes press pause and to allow the innate power and ability of your body to step forward.” Additional Information About Jenn: Jenn studied and graduated with honors in Human Anatomy and Physiology with such a passion that it propelled her to continue her education over many years.

Dr. Arun Sharma, fondly known as “Guruji” by his students, is the Founder Director of the International Institute of Mahayoga & Natural Hygiene (IMANAH), USA.  In his twenties, he wanted to be a successful entrepreneur and used to be full of innovative business ideas. However, Nature, or lets say the Divine, willed that he bear the flame of “Nature Cure”, which he now prefers to articulate as "Nature Health Science." Dr Sharma heard and wholeheartedly embraced that call. For the last 50 years he has untiringly supported people across the world, from Arizona in the US to villages in India, in naturally improving their health by connecting to the source of the creative intelligence within them. “Natural Fitness is Worship”, is his mantra.  He is the grandson of Late Acharya Lakshmana Sharma, who was the founding father of Nature Cure in India and author of the magnum opus Practical Nature Cure. It is understood that NAture's Health Science, with its origin in the Indian scriptures, fell into general neglect and obscurity until its rebirth in Germany during the 19th Century. And Lakshmana Sharma discovered its Indian origin and reintroduced it to India. An except from the book reads: "From our sacred lore we learn that Nature (prakriti) is just the Divine Power that creates, sustains, destroys and recreates the universe. She is immanent in all creatures and maintains them in health so long as they do not seriously transgress Her laws, which are the laws of God, because She is not separate from God. So it must be understood that this blessed science is a Divine Science, and that God Himself is the Indwelling Healer in all creatures, and also the Teacher of this True Science."  Even Gandhi and Vinoba wholeheartedly embraced Nature Cure in their personal lives and also set-up naturopathy centers (in Baroda, Pune, et al.) which are still operational. It is said that in 1942, Vallabhbhai Patel became seriously ill while staying at Gandhi's Ashram at Wardha and was brought back to health under the treatment by Shri Lakshmana Sharma. Continuing the tradition, his son Ganesa Sharma took this science to the villages and small towns of Tamil Nadu through large field-camps believing that “real health requires a revolution in the kitchen.” He innovated new practices in this system and authored several books on the subject which have further increased its practicality and scope. Many people even think that Ganesa Sharma was instrumental in popularizing ‘tender coconut water’, now an important element of this practice. To see Dr Sharma at his work, is to see his message through his life. Even today, at the age of 79, his energy far outlives many people half his age. Besides hours of theory and demonstrations, he can be seen arranging footwear outside the dining hall in the hot sun when no one is looking. And he can be seen talking to construction laborers about perils of tobacco, nudging them gently to give it up.  His work is revolutionary as it helps shift health from being a specialist subject, to empowering lay people to understand the natural laws governing health and hence be more self-reliant. Through his work, he has attempted to achieve a deeper integration among physical, mental and spiritual health; between food and medicine, creativity and occupation; and livelihood and service. He also continues to unconditionally mentor and support many aspiring educators in the field of Nature's Health Science.

And he can be seen talking to construction laborers about perils of tobacco, nudging them gently to give it up.  His work is revolutionary as it helps shift health from being a specialist subject, to empowering lay people to understand the natural laws governing health and hence be more self-reliant. Through his work, he has attempted to achieve a deeper integration among physical, mental and spiritual health; between food and medicine, creativity and occupation; and livelihood and service. He also continues to unconditionally mentor and support many aspiring educators in the field of Nature's Health Science.

Some people may say that Naturopathic Medicine is “the Medicine of the Future”. But by the same token, Naturopathy is a branch of Medicine that is rooted in observing, cooperating, and adapting to natural phenomena, and Nature’s wisdom is timeless.As such, it is a medicine of the past (and the present), and it is important to remember the roots of Naturopathic Medicine. It is fitting, then, that we were able to have a conversation with Dr. Richard Vuksinic ND, a true student of the timeless phenomena of Nature and one of those “roots-y” Naturopathic Doctors who reminds the rest of us Naturopaths why we do what we do, and why it makes so much sense. Except for his strange infatuation with Doug Gilmour and the Toronto Maple Leafs, it is fairly safe to say that everything Naturopathic Medicine courses through his veins and forms every fibre of his being. Join us as our friend and colleague, Dr. Richard Vuksinic ND, touches on hormesis, the microbiome, mitochondria, and deep Nature connection.

A thoughtful and compelling case for the power and potential of natural medicine to heal the human body, from bestselling author Dr Andreas Michalsen. This illuminating book has the power to transform your health and change your life. We are living longer than ever before, but our prolonged lives have come at a price: a rise in chronic diseases like digestive disorders, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis and cancer. These diseases pose a challenge to conventional medicine, which controls symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause. But there is a solution: naturopathy. Naturopathy, or natural medicine, focuses on uncovering the roots of health and resilience. In The Natural Prescription (published as The Nature Cure in the US), Dr Michalsen shares the potential of nature he discovers every day with his patients. Thoughtfully written and filled with science and history, fascinating case studies and practical guidance, he walks us through the basic principles and scientific mechanisms of naturopathy and provides us with practical, easy-to-follow instructions on how to integrate naturopathic methods into our daily routine.

A large and growing body of research has found that time outdoors makes us happier and healthier, but there’s relatively limited science explaining why. According to findings published last summer in the journal Emotion, a big part of the answer may be awe. Studies conducted by psychologists at the University of California at Berkeley showed that feeling awe during a nature experience has a singular ability to lower stress and improve our overall well-being. Even more compelling, the research suggests that we don’t need to climb a mountain or run a river to get the healing power of awe—the simplest moments outside are all it takes. For this final episode in our Nature Cure series, we talk to the scientist who led the Berkeley study, as well as a man who says awe saved his life.

In recent years, a grassroots movement of physicians have begun prescribing time outdoors as the best possible treatment for a growing list of ailments, from anxiety and obesity to attention deficit disorder and high blood pressure. Meanwhile, research institutes for nature and health are opening at major medical centers and a couple bold insurance companies are embracing the idea. For this third episode in our Nature Cure series, we sit down with science writer Aaron Reuben, who reported on this emerging trend for Outside magazine. The question now, he says, is what it will take to convince big health care that free medicine is the way of the future.

About six years ago, ecologist Chris Morgan was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room when he picked up a copy of Outside and read the cover story, “Take Two Hours of Pine Forest and Call Me in the Morning.” The article, written by Florence Williams, explored the scientific basis for something that Morgan had intuitively felt all his life: being in nature is inherently healing and leaves us feeling more alert, alive, and content. Ever since, he wanted to have his own guided nature experience. For this second installment of our Nature Cure series, Morgan shares a story from his new podcast The Wild, in which he goes forest bathing in the Pacific Northwest, then asks Williams, What happened to me out there?

On today's podcast, we're discussing  Nature Cure and Skin. My guest is Dr. Ben Reebs. Raised in the Quaker tradition, Dr. Reebs grew up off-the-grid in central Washington state. Living close to nature in a family of healers, Dr. Reebs' path began with a childhood steeped in medicine, exploration, and the power of the natural world. Dr. Reebs earned his doctorate of naturopathic medicine (ND) from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon. Before naturopathic medical school, Dr. Reebs was head cook at the Esalen Institute, a world-famous humanistic alternative education center in Big Sur, CA. While there, he had the opportunity to study mind-body medicine with prominent healers from all over the world. With the experience he gained, Dr. Reebs healed himself of two life-long chronic diseases. Now, as a practicing doctor, he combines traditional healing wisdom with current scientific knowledge, enabling him to better meet diverse patient needs. During this interview, we discuss some of the laws of vitalism and principles behind Naturopathic Medicine. This leads us into talking about the amazing attributes of skin and how we can heal skin with nature cure, including hydrotherapy and embrace a truly holistic approach to skin. So please enjoy this interview…

Darren Hey is a nutrition expert and a teacher of Natural Living. His studies include the philosophies of natural hygiene, nature cure, and biogenicsWe talk about these philosophies, about nutrition, about the gut, and more. He has a great way of communicating this, and tying it all into the Probiotic life. If you want to reach out to him, check out his Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/darrenhey6 Show Notes Background - very diverse career background- all types of work have been some form of training his body to make it stronger and fitter- this made him realise you need to nourish your body well- philosophies of natural living: the body is self healing when you align with life conditions- 3 streams of philosophy: natural hygiene, nature cure, biogenics- became an educator in natural living and healing- Q of how do you get/grow high quality food? led him to permaculture- recently completed apprenticeship with Geoff Lawton - teaches on true health science, not info pushed by corporate dogma   Natural Hygiene & Nature Cure- cleanliness inside and outside- cleanliness does not mean sterility, which is devoid of life- looks at health holistically- when you provide your cells with what they need in the right ratio they are effectively immortal- cells require: energy, nutrient, the removal of waste product- nature cure is very similar, but uses fasting a little bit differently   Biogenics- biogenics: came from teaching of ancient sacred society of Essenes, as deciphered by scholar Edmond Bordeaux Szekely- Essenes lived in accordance with natural law, how to align yourself with beneficial forces- natural forces (such as water) have memory and energy flow; water will die if you interrupt its natural flow- water behaves as if it is frozen inside our bodies, to facilitate energy & information along our nervous tissue   Steps Along Darren's Path- found mainstream perception of life dry and unfulfilling- went on a search for meaning, for answers- intuitively sensed there was something more- experience in army of how easily info can be manipulated, where the public receives incorrect or incomplete info- truth has become his highest value- as many others, reaching a point of breakdown and injury, caused him to reevaluate- began to ask how he brought himself to that point, develop awareness of his own responsibility- high value for self-actualisation- people not knowing or outright ignoring their own health is the cause of chronic illness & mental health crisis   Lessons learned from Nature- nature provides everything that we need- life is working for us, not against us- how can we work with the living forces around us?- this gives you your greatest chance for wellbeing- also reveals which parts of you sees life as an antagonist: this creates opportunity for emotional & mental healing   The Disrupting of Nature- water seeks 4 degrees Celsius and retreats from warmth, which creates the cycle of how water moves around the earth- by interrupting and polluting nature, you destroy the habitat water requires- life is seeking homeostasis, in all the trillions of processes happening at every moment in your body- physical symptoms are messages that something is out of balance- treating the symptoms instead of finding the cause interrupts our bodies' attempts to self-heal- this shuts off our opportunity to get back in balance and heal naturally   Getting Back In Alignment- nature within us, nature around us, and our own nature- we are not meant to live separated from natural processes- we need technology that frees humanity, is earth-friendly, obeys natural law- law of energy conservation: don't push life beyond its ability to recuperate, or it will die- get familiar with the laws of nature operating within us, learning what your senses are telling you- willingness to face the truth- take responsibility for your journey, self-education- surrender to life's prerogative in your body, that it is out of your control and has its own laws   Illness, Bacteria, and Healing- your body will tell you the truth about what is happening in your consciousness- illness and injury come from spirit & mind attempting to heal the body, or spirit & body attempting to heal the mind- energy can't be created or destroyed, only transformed- you can transform it to your benefit or to your detriment- the monomorphic idea of germs = disease, kill bacteria = cure disease is not quite correct- when illness manifests, bacteria are the last thing to show up; disease was already well on its way before that- if you keep creating toxic conditions in your body, the bacteria will keep transforming and coming back- infection is the body attempting to clean house- “the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything”- waging war on bacteria is a sure route to destroying higher life forms, while the bacteria will survive   Final Thoughts- soil food web inside you as well as your garden- for high quality food pay attention to the biology of the soil- permaculture is by design, food growing conditions that work in harmony with the laws of nature- many organisms that live in soil also live in our bodies- these benefit serotonin production within our bodies, boost natural immunity & detoxification, help with nutrient assimilation- the seat of our physical mind is in our gut, modern science verifies this- your ability to think clearly and powerfully depends on your gut
