A Good Life At Sol Haven

A Good Life At Sol Haven | Episode 20


Listen Later

In this uplifting episode, Natasha from Sol Haven takes listeners on a journey of growth, adaptability, and connection — exploring what it truly means to live sustainably, both with the earth and within ourselves. Based in Moulton, just outside Northampton, Sol Haven is an award-winning community farm that focuses on “building sustainable people.” Natasha begins by introducing permaculture principle 12, “Creatively Use and Respond to Change,” reflecting on how embracing transformation — rather than resisting it — helps us grow stronger, more resilient, and in harmony with nature.

We then hear from John, who shares his deeply personal story of how volunteering at Sol Haven transformed his life. After walking away from an 11-year corporate career, burnt out and unsure of what was next, he found purpose, healing, and confidence through reconnecting with the soil, community, and the natural world. His honest reflections on burnout, self-discovery, and the power of slowing down offer an inspiring reminder that change, though uncomfortable, often leads us exactly where we need to be.

Natasha also shares a nourishing seasonal recipe — Black Bean & Quinoa Soup — packed with grounding, warming ingredients perfect for winter. The recipe, taken from her book 31 Quick and Easy Vegan Recipes For Any Time of the Day, highlights how simple, wholesome food can help us nurture both body and mind as the seasons turn.

The episode closes with John’s card pick for the week, a teaser for next time — including a return from Sammuel to share new rhythms and a focus on permaculture principle 11: “Use edges and value the marginal.”

This heartwarming and inspiring conversation celebrates change, growth, and the healing connection between people and planet.
