Description

If we all ate food grown in biologically rich soil, how would this affect our lives, our communities and the natural systems that sustain us? As Amanda discovered, to approach this question a whole-of-landscape and a whole bodymind approach is required. The human heart nestles within the economic and environmental incentives driving an emerging carbon economy. We humans are being dragged kicking and screaming into a quantum world to grapple with the complexity we must embrace, in order to survive. Amanda creates a rich, organic brew that is biodiverse, funny and full of unexpected synergies, to create her own vision of earthly wellness. Tune in and listen on....

Assume You're Wrong

2021/06/19

When working with nature we need a plan a, b and c - and beyond. In other words, assume your initial action is wrong and monitor the situation with a mind to re-adjusting your actions as stuff you cannot possibly predict unfolds.

Many Tribes One Resource

2021/06/02

In which Amanda struggles to make sense of her experiences on a patch of land in her home state of WA - and concludes that the environmental aspects of regenerative/holistic agriculture cannot be decoupled from its social and political context: they are the same conversation. She pays attention to what is happening in her body and determines to lay some ghosts to rest.

The Potentiality Industry

2021/04/17

When ancient wisdom and new knowledge is packaged for the 'you-can-change-your-life' industry change happens - but not like it says it will in the marketing blurb!

Under New Land Management

2020/12/19

Th new normal is with us. Are you in alignment with 20th or 21st century thinking? Are you still tinkering around the edges of the old systems or taking the leap into the world of the Circular Economy? Soil and Human Health draws a line under the old and finds new beginnings.

Once Upon A Time Part 2

Amanda ventures further into once-upon-a-time land, inspired by a long dead relative she encounters near Greenough, WA, and a friend's approach to history that insists on bringing the stories of the colonial past into present day consciousness.

The Inland Starts Here Part 2

2020/09/21

The Jones brothers, inspired by Col Stanton, are introducing erosion control, land interventions at Boogardie Station, out of Mt Magnet, WA. As Henry gets serious about documenting their work, Amanda finds synergies between the Jones' and the Pollocks' efforts on Wooleen Station. She voices the conviction that coming generations in the Southern Rangelands will be able to run livestock businesses that are successful on economic and ecological grounds - if the Government holds its nerve and opens up the public purse to support landscape repair.

2020/09/09

Amanda spends a few days hanging out in station country with the Jones. The land at Boogardie Station, out of Mt Magnet, is getting a restorative and rehydrating make-over. At the same time as a wild dog and grazing-animal proof hub is being constructed with neighbouring stations, the brothers are introducing erosion control through the use of earthworks. All they need is for the coming hot months to produce a cyclonic strength rain event to test their landscaping efforts.....
