  • An antidote to disenchantment

The idea of a post capitalist life is a balm to my heart as I simply cannot and will not continue to exploit my sweet self for a system that serves very few. Much love to the maker of this podcast and I highly... more

It’s also practical; from these episodes, I’ve often walked away with concrete ideas of ... more

I’ve learned so much about living seasonally, staying true to our actual nature and needs, and how to dream for something bigger for our ... more
