Cultivating Connections Outside - Come take a walk with me

Why did I start this podcast right now? The sadness of the recent California wildfire has caused me to dig up old photos and sound recordings from memorable experiences in the outdoors. These beautiful moments deserve to be relieved and retold because now they are different. Many of these spaces are burned by the 2020 wildfire season. This cycle of death and rebirth is the lesson I need to learn. A parallel of this lesson is recovering these artifacts and breathing new life into them once more.

Cultivating Connections Outside - Come take a walk with me

Why did I start this podcast right now? The sadness of the recent California wildfire has caused me to dig up old photos and sound recordings from memorable experiences in the outdoors. These beautiful moments deserve to be relieved and retold because now they are different. Many of these spaces are burned by the 2020 wildfire season. This cycle of death and rebirth is the lesson I need to learn. A parallel of this lesson is recovering these artifacts and breathing new life into them once more.

    Dr Lee Klinger and Kanyon Coyote Woman - Sudden Oak Life and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (Part 2 of 2)

    Dr Lee Klinger and Kanyon Coyote Woman - Sudden Oak Life and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (Part 2 of 2)

    One teacher of this episode is the "Oakcentric" Dr. Lee Klinger of Sudden Oak Life. Lee speaks about the relationship of ecological succession and fire within the Oak landscape. The solution is to get to a point where we can let fire return to the ecosystems, allowing for the natural cycles of birth and death to strengthen the landscape.

    Our other teacher is Kanyon Coyote Woman Sayers Roods of Indian Canyon. She provides her unique perspective and shares Traditional Ecological Knowledge, including wisdom about Elderberries, Bay nuts, and Oak Acorns.

    Now Our Minds Are One - A weekend at the Association of Environmental Outdoor Educators (AEOE) Conference 2019

    This episode highlights all the ecological wisdom gained from my direct experience at the Association of Environmental Outdoor Educators Conference in 2019 at Pollock Pines, California. I was greatly inspired by the genuine speakers and leaders at the event, I felt this information was too beautiful not to share.
