This beautiful conversation between me and Shiva Rose is one that resonated with me long after we stopped recording.

It’s rare to meet a soul who has lived many lifetimes in a lifetime and is so in flow with the natural world. Shiva has experienced being a refugee from Iran, being an acclaimed Hollywood actress, carving her own healing path after being given a shocking health diagnosis of only 1 year to live, being a pioneer in creating a beauty/lifestyle blog and brand and homesteading with her partner in rural Texas to regenerate the countryside and host tea ceremonies. She is so present and in-tune to the lessons and love to be received from the land and life.

Today we all get a chance to bathe in that medicine and retrace her footsteps as a refugee to a Hollywood star and holistic icon. Naturalist, activist, mother, farmer, and learner: it’s impossible to tie her down to any box – and why would you even want to?
