The Lev Natan Podcast invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the living roots of our regenerative future. Hosted by Lev Natan, founder of Alliance for a Viable Future, we explore the art and practice of regenerative leadership for changemakers who are weaving a spiritually-grouned, place-based, bioregional response to the polycrisis. In a down-to-earth, conversational tone, Lev shares insights and reflections while walking through the towering evergreens along the Housatonic River, one of his favorite pathways in the Berkshires, the place he calls home. His voice is refreshing, in its authentic call to remember who we are and what we are here to do. Building on more than fifty conversations from the Alliance for a Viable Future Podcast, this new phase of conversations carries forward the same heartbeat: that change flows through relationships, at the speed of trust.  Each episode offers an invitation to ground your purpose, strengthen community, and participate in the healing of our collective future.

    Do you feel an urgency to step up and face the climate crisis?

    56. Be Prepared: Homesteading Skills, Storing Supplies, Homescale Gardening & More - Jon Lee Rucker

    “It’s better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it,'' says Jon Lee Rucker, founder of Wild Beauty Farm (wildbeautyfarm.com), PermaJam (permajam.com), and a dear friend of mine. This empowering conversation will bring awareness to the uneasy feeling about the instability all around us - conflict in the Ukraine, market and supply chain issues, and the environmental turbulence. We discuss our personal experience of how taking action generates a sense of confidence and courage. By facing it, you can turn the anxiety into positive action, instead of ignoring it. It’s better to face the harsh reality sooner than later. By being prepared, and taking action, step by step, the harsh reality becomes less harsh. ______ Your Invited to Deep Roots 2026 - Regenerative Leadership for Changemakers in the Northeast Bioregion: www.allianceforaviablefuture.org/deep-roots Rooted in ancient wisdom, we are growing a partnership culture for our regenerative future. www.avf.earth
