A Resurgence podcast with Annabel Heseltine

In Hope Springs we hear from people working on the frontline of the environmental crisis and explore what compels them to achieve remarkable things for the natural world.
Think of Hope Springs as a guide to recovery — and to discovering a sense of optimism and purpose, even in the midst of grave challenges.
In episode 1, Ben Goldsmith reflects on his journey into rewilding, and considers the future of food production in the UK.
In episode 2, Annabel Heseltine interviews Christiana Figueres about her extraordinary work leading to the adoption of the Paris Agreement at COP21.

Earth, hands, mouth
by Satish Kumar, Issue 309, July/August 2018
| |
|
Satish Kumar reflects on the act of eating together as a vital part of education and community life. He believes that sharing meals fosters
a sense of togetherness and reinforces the value of food
beyond just nourishment.
Eating together allows people to engage in meaningful conversations, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a shared appreciation for wholesome, well-prepared meals.

Change the Story: Food
A video with Satish Kumar
| |
|
We are what we eat! That's why Satish Kumar believes that we should eat fresh, local, organically grown, healthy food. By changing our approach to food, Satish argues, we can reduce ecological stress and pressure on the Earth and our bodies.
This video is part of the Change the Story project, filmed by Jason Taylor and produced by Nat Dyer, in which Satish aims to inspire positive solutions to global challenges.

Terra Viva
By Vandana Shiva
Vandana Shiva has been described in many ways: the “Gandhi of Grain”, “a rock star” in the battle against GMOs, and “the most powerful voice” for people of the developing world.
For over four decades she has vociferously advocated for diversity, Indigenous knowledge, localisation and real democracy. She has been at the forefront of seed saving, food sovereignty, and connecting the dots between the destruction of Nature, the polarisation of societies, and indiscriminate corporate greed.

Emergence event
Fall Back 2024: Inside/Outside Retreat
Thursday 24 - Sunday 27 October • Dyfi Valley, Wales
Fall Back is a small-group fully residential retreat in a beautiful arts and crafts centre in Mid Wales focused on soul intention and nature connection. Fall Back invites you to retreat into the time of the clocks 'falling back,' the waning of the light and the coming of the darker days.
Fall Back includes being outside on the land, inside in circle, in solo time and ritual space whilst making pilgrimage to some local, very special places.
The retreat is led by Fern Smith and Phil Ralph from Emergence, both wilderness guides and artists immersed and trained within the School of Lost Borders lineage and the Four Shields of Human Nature
