    Go Gently! Jade Miles with Morag Gamble on Local Food, Barefoot Gatherings & Learning to Belong Where You Are

    What if the most radical thing you could do right now is go gently? That is what this conversation left me with. Not a strategy, not a framework, not a list of actions — but this nugget of advice — an invitation. Go gently. Tend what is in front of you. Trust that your bones already know more than your head gives them credit for. Root yourself so deeply in the place you are that you can feel the seasons change in your body before the calendar tells you. Jade Miles lives this — her philosophy and daily practice — in the soil, in the shadows, in the quality of light on a cold north east Victorian morning, in the women's circles by the dam and the school groups sitting barefoot around fires and the 100 varieties of apple that fruit across six different months because someone paid close enough attention to plant them that way. She is the kind of person who makes you feel, within minutes, that rootedness is not a retreat from the world. It is the most generative place from which to tend it. Jade is a local food advocate and educator, author, podcaster, and regenerative heritage fruit farmer at Black Barn Farm in north east Victoria on Palanggang Medang country. She is the CEO of Sustainable Table — supporting the regeneration of food and farming systems across Australia — and the author of Futuresteading and the newly released Huddle, a book about the quiet, necessary art of coming together in the places where we live. We recorded this conversation late last year, not long after Jade had returned from a vision quest — raw, liminal, and freshly cracked open, as she put it. What came through was some of the most honest thinking I have heard about what it actually means to belong to a place, what local food systems can and cannot do alone, and why the tools in our back pocket will never be enough unless we also learn to collectivise them. We talked about Black Barn Farm — 100 varieties of apple, kilometres of berries, school groups arriving weirded out and leaving calm, women's circles by the dam, potluck dinners in the woolshed. We talked about growing up in Gippsland as a permaculture kid, about being locked outside by an eccentric artist father and eating cho I'd love to hear from you. Text me here.

  2. Growing Coral with Sam Teicher and Morag Gamble

    Growing Coral with Sam Teicher and Morag Gamble

    Coral reefs are often spoken about as beautiful places we visit. In this episode, Sam Teicher brings us into a much bigger understanding, reefs as living systems that support marine biodiversity, sustain livelihoods, protect coasts from storms and erosion, and hold deep cultural meaning for many communities. Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the sea floor, yet support around 25% of marine life. Already 50% have been lost, and 90% may be gone forever in 25 years. Sam is the co founder of Coral Vita, an Earthshot Prize winning reef restoration company that grows corals on land and replants them onto damaged reefs. We talk about what is driving coral decline, including heat stress and bleaching, and why restoring reefs is both an ecological and human imperative. We then explore the practicalities of restoration. Sam explains how Coral Vita uses land based coral farming to control conditions, accelerate growth through microfragmentation, and improve survivorship by identifying and propagating more heat tolerant genotypes, all while working with local communities and building education and employment pathways. We also unpack the idea of a restoration economy. Who pays for reef restoration, how restoration as a service works, what nature positive brands are doing, and why policy, insurance, public health, and security conversations all converge when we talk about ecosystems.

    Nutrient Dense Food with Dan Kittredge: Growing for the Microbiome

    In this episode of Sense Making in a Changing World, I speak with regenerative farmer and Bionutrient Food Association founder Dan Kittredge from the United States. Together we explore what it really means to grow nutrient dense food and nourish the microbiome, in the soil and in our own bodies.  Dan shares decades of experience and research that reveal just how wide the gap is between food that truly nourishes and food that simply fills us up. We talk about the huge variation in nutrient levels between different samples of the same crop, why this happens and what it means for human health and climate. We touch on: How two carrots from different farms can have four to ten times difference in key nutrientsWhy labels like organic or local only tell part of the story of food qualityWhat happens when we take soil out of the equation and grow food in hydroponic systemsWhy Dan says we should be growing for the microbiome in the soil and in our own bodiesPractical ways gardeners and farmers can start shifting their practice toward truly nutrient dense foodMy hope is that this conversation helps you look at the food on your plate and the soil under your feet in a new way, and encourages you to keep experimenting in your own gardens, farms, kitchens and communities.

    Farm as Community: Growing Belonging with Abel Pearson and Morag Gamble

    In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, I sit down with Abel Pearson – permaculture educator, community food grower and co founder of Glasbren, an award winning community-supported agriculture project in rural Wales. Glasbren began as a three acre permaculture designed market garden and has now moved to Lord’s Park Farm, a 134 acre National Trust property on the cliffs where the Taf and Tywi rivers meet the sea in Carmarthenshire. Abel and his family are the first permaculture based tenants on a National Trust farm, creating a flagship project for nature friendly, community facing farming. In our conversation we explore: Abel’s journey from woofing and natural building to discovering permaculture as “the origin” of everything he now doesHow Glasbren grew from a three acre CSA into a whole farm vision at Lord’s ParkDesigning a landscape and an organisation with permaculture ethics: earth care, people care, fair shareIndigenous and historic food systems as deeply “permacultural” ways of living in reciprocity with landBeingof a place when you may not be from there – and how growing food together becomes daily practice in belongingWelsh language, culture and land Community supported agriculture, food security and the fragility of our current food systemWales’ shift toward agroecology, social value payments for farms, and support for small scale growersThe practicalities of funding and holding a diversified social enterprise farmVolunteering at Glasbren as a pathway into community, wellbeing and climate actionFamily life in the middle of a farm that is also a community hubAbel’s reflections weave beautifully with the core of permaculture education – that we are learning a way of seeing and relating, not just a collection of techniques. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to place, and see farms and gardens as sites of cultural and ecological repair.

  5. Feed us with trees. Elspeth Hay and Morag Gamble

    Feed us with trees. Elspeth Hay and Morag Gamble

    What if the forest you walk through is already a food garden, and the real work is remembering how to see it that way? In this episode of Sense Making in a Changing World I am in conversation with writer and public radio host Elspeth Hay about her beautiful new book Feed Us with Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food. Elspeth calls in from her home on Cape Cod and shares how one simple realisation changed everything for her: acorns ARE food. From that moment she began following nut trees back through time and across continents, uncovering oak, chestnut and hazel commons, stories of enclosure and colonisation, and the quiet resilience of people who never stopped tending tree foods. Together we explore how this different way of seeing opens a path toward food systems that feed people and whole ecosystems at the same time. We talk about:  How nut trees like oak, chestnut and hazel can sit at the centre of generous food systems Why perennial tree based polycultures can out produce industrial monocultures once we count the full costs Humans as potential keystone species rather than ecological mistakes Cultural burning, oak woodlands and remembering that our presence can be beneficial Commons, local economies and finding belonging by staying rooted in a placeElspeth invites us to see ourselves as “radical regenerators” who are not just analysing the old story of agriculture, but actively weaving new ones in our own communities. ABOUT ELSPETH HAY  Elspeth Hay is a writer and public radio host based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She created The Local Food Report, a weekly program on CAI, the Cape and Islands NPR station, and her work on food and ecology has appeared in places such as the Boston Globe, NPR and Heated with Mark Bittman. Her book Feed Us with Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food explores how nut trees and tree centred cultures can help us reimagine food, history and our ecological role as humans.

  6. Rewilding Leadership with Kelly Wendorf and Morag Gamble

    Rewilding Leadership with Kelly Wendorf and Morag Gamble

    Learning to Lead Like Life Itself How do we lead in a way that feels alive, kind, and connected to the living world? In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, Morag is joined by Kelly Wendorf, author of Flying Lead Change and founder of EQUUS, whose work brings together horses, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom to reimagine what leadership can be. Kelly shares about leadership as a natural, relational process. Not command and control, but care and connection - moving from hierarchy to harmony. Her principles of leadership — Safety, Connection, Peace, Freedom, and Joy — mirror what we see in every thriving ecosystem. The same qualities that sustain a healthy forest or a permaculture garden can also sustain our families, workplaces, and communities. Morag and Kelly talk about what it means to lead from presence, to cultivate trust rather than fear, and to listen so deeply that the next right action becomes obvious. “The lead horse doesn’t run at the front. She leads from behind, creating safety so others can step into confidence.” Rewilding leadership is about remembering that life already knows how to lead. Our task is to learn again how to be in conversation with it - to listen to the more-than-human world, and to design our cultures, systems, and movements in ways that honour the web of life we’re part of. This is a conversation for anyone sensing that leadership is less about power and more about participation - an invitation to step back into the flow of life and let nature show the way. 🌿 In this episode we explore: What rewilded leadership looks and feels likeHow the wisdom of the herd translates into human relationshipsThe connection between permaculture and leadershipLeading from behind: creating confidence, not controlPresence as a regenerative force in times of changeKelly Wendorf is a leadership coach, educator, and founding partner of EQUUS, an innovative I'd love to hear from you.

  7. Bog Witch: Storytelling as Climate Action - Bryony Kimmings and Will Duke with Morag Gamble

    Bog Witch: Storytelling as Climate Action - Bryony Kimmings and Will Duke with Morag Gamble

    In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, I speak with acclaimed artist Bryony Kimmings and award-winning projection designer Will Duke about their powerful new theatre work, Bog Witch. Commissioned for the launch season at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, Bog Witch is Bryony’s first solo work in over five years. Known for her fearless, hilarious, and deeply moving autobiographical creations, Bryony has been called “an artist of exceptional integrity, imagination, compassion and guts” by The Guardian. Her work spans theatre, film, and television, including projects with the BBC, Channel 4, and the National Theatre. Will is a leading projection designer whose practice spans opera, theatre, and dance. His acclaimed visual designs have appeared on international stages from the Royal Opera House to the National Theatre. Will is also a student of the Permaculture Education Institute, weaving ecological design principles into both his creative work and daily life. Together, they open up about how storytelling itself can be a form of climate action — using humour, vulnerability, and imagination to re-enchant culture and invite us back into the web of life. I was living hand to mouth, searching for happiness in alcohol and consumer culture — but it didn’t fill the hole in my soul. Nature did.” ~ Bryony Kimmings Storytelling is climate action. It opens hearts where facts alone can’t.” ~ Will Duke We are living in a time when climate narratives risk becoming tired or overwhelming. What Bryony and Will remind us is that culture shifts through stories — stories that make us laugh, cry, grieve, and imagine differently. 🎟 Tickets for Bog Witch: Soho Theatre🌐 Bryony Kimmings🌐 I'd love to hear from you.
