	Description:		What would it be like to rely solely on yourself, lean into ecological literacy, to really notice the changing patterns of the season & offer yourself the time it genuinely takes to live intimately with the earth . Claire tells of her pathway to following a calling to initiation - a need to let her social identity rot away on the forest floor & go into a place of deep introspection. Spurred by a primal knowledge that we are living in a world with a deficit in: nature, elders, community, ritual & skills, Claire is rewriting her story & rebuilding the culture around her to become one of eco awakening - it starts with something as basic as an intentional 'wander' or journaling & accepting awkwardness as we relearn the art of village building using pan cultural tools like rhythm, percussion, scent, song, body movement, repetition, nature noticing, Show Notes Spending a year off grid, alone, connecting to her human identity To do what I could to be a voice for the voiceless Her psyche turned towards a deep interconnectedness which heals the rift between the human soul & nature The constant flow of the forest sees an intruding human as a benign presence Rewriting her patterns of productivity, structure, Growing from a solo wolf into a community being Why she never felt lonely when in the bush Learning the art of community generated & self designed ceremony which links nature & culture Vision quests - multiple days along in a wild place. A way to mark a transition that's already happening. A strong ceremony with an element of ordeal which humbles us & marks us porous to some of the quieter conversations. Deep adaptation is what we’re needing. How can I live well on the land, in community with a thriving culture with wisdom around the journey of adolescence to adulthood. Reclaiming what we've lost, what we've buried but reclaiming culture in a contemporary setting. Hunter gatherers challenge - eating only what you grow, forage or bartered Feasting on community through intention, dedication, time, conflict, conversations Grief as a community builder Sparking ourselves through rewilding - a full expression of our animus being - creativity, love, vision, vitality, quiet, deep attuned listening, Removing abstractions from our ability to connect to our life support systems - our embeddedness with the web of life “Don't ask what the world needs of us, ask what makes you come alive and go do that because what the world needs most right now is a population of people who are alive” References Natures apprentice My year without matches Rewilding the urban soul Joanna Macy - Active hope Podcast partners ROCK!
