    The Hummingbird Who Lost His Way

    A small hummingbird flew over 1,900 kilometres, and ended up in a Saskatchewan backyard before a cold winter.

Sam ended up in the care of today’s guest, who protected the Californian bird through a Canadian winter, while she puzzled over how to rehabilitate the bird to the wild.

    Reconnecting with Soil - Antonious Petro

    Each of us is deeply connected to soil, whether we see or feel soil directly.

Healthy soil can also help us rise to meet biodiversity loss and climate change. We can grow soil, and sequester carbon, feed ourselves, and strengthen local communities and economies in the process. Guest Antonious Petro is the Executive Director of Régénération Canada and a Masters Cand...

    We all have times of silence — when momentum slows down, we turn inwards, or we cannot rush and produce. These wintering times, as Katherine May calls them, can allow us to rest and heal, but they can also lead to big changes. Taking times of silence can be one essential tool for restoring our energy and then changing how we are directing that energy: to confront a machine of oppression and extraction; nurture our communities and projects; or rebuild how we want to live. Guest Steven Lov...
