Episode 69. Finding Our 6th Sense, Intuition, and Inner Knowing Through the Lens of Nature and Regenerative Agriculture with Doniga Markegard

We love to challenge ourselves to broaden the way we look at our health. Living a healthy life is a very large concept and it’s always refreshing to look at it from a new perspective. Our guest this week, Doniga Markegard, helps us do just that.

Doniga Markegard is a wildlife tracker, regenerative rancher, speaker, and author of Dawn Again: Tracking the Wisdom of the Wild and Wolf Girl: Finding Myself in the Wild. Doniga Markegard has a background in nature and permaculture. This has given her a perspective on the real risks that we are facing as a species. In her youth, she was mentored by some of the leading wildlife trackers, naturalists and Native spiritual elders. She spent years alone and with a small group of passionate youth in the Western Washington Wilderness learning the ways of the ancestors, immersing in nature, bird language, survival skills, and wildlife tracking.

Along with her husband and four children, Doniga owns and operates Markegard Family Grass-Fed LLC raising grass-fed beef, lamb, pastured pork, chicken, and dairy supplying the Bay Area with local, nutrient-dense foods. The family ranch leases land throughout the Bay Area spanning over 10,000 acres. She is dedicated to finding ways to regenerate lands and community through ranching practices that build soil, sequester carbon, capture and purify water and enhance habitat.

In this week’s episode, Doniga introduces us to the world of permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and shows us how to find our 6th sense, intuition, and inner knowing. Doniga walks us through her upbringing as a non-traditional student and how this led her to be able to cultivate relationships with both nature and our own human nature. She teaches us how we can leave more life in the world than we take, how we can create strong relationships with ourselves by connecting to nature, practical tips to find your 6th sense, intuition, and inner knowing, and how we can all play a small role in restoring carbon back into the soil.

You’ll definitely learn something new from this episode whether or not you are new to these concepts, and we know you’ll come away from this episode feeling inspired to connect more deeply to nature no matter where you live.
