A Wild New Work

Being out in wild spaces, especially when we’re alone, can bring up so much fear. But just on the other side of that fear is a life that’s in touch with something much greater than our concrete culture. Norther Emily is a writer and wilderness guide, and in our conversation, we explore her own journey into this work, how to build your own competency, and how to renew your courage.

How did our pre-civilization ancestors "work"? What does it mean to be held captive to capitalism, and can we find ways to be more free? In this very rich conversation with anthropologist and rewilding catalyst Peter Michael Bauer, we address these questions and discuss:

*Where we are in the cycles of decline and the collapse of civilization (and why collapse can be a good thing)

*What “work” looked like for our hunter gatherer ancestors

*How we can bring our adaptive, wild nature into the contexts and communities we live in today

There is a rhythmic cycle to your life, which mirrors the wheels of the seasons, the planets, and cosmic time. So often, the heat of our lives takes us out of that central rhythm, leaving us to make choices and take action at the edges of our lives rather than at their center. This episode is a call to step back into the animating image in your core and see what radiates forth when you do.

Change is one of life’s greatest challenges, and it can also be a primary source of isolation. While no one can walk our paths for us, we can most certainly be accompanied.

Sasha is the author of The Menopause Companion: A Beginner's Guide to Owning Your Transition from Peri- to Post.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my thoughts about the Summer Solstice as a gateway and how we can work with the paradox of this season: that there is tremendous growth ahead, *and* we’ve begun the descent into the darkest point in the year. How can we feel into the fullness of our aliveness without doing more? How can we hydrate in the midst of heat? Come find your steadiness as we approach this dynamic season.

Does the idea of marketing yourself or selling something make you queasy? Do you already work for yourself and hate that part of it? It doesn’t have to be that way. In today’s conversation with anti-capitalist business coach and social educator Bear Hebert, we break down the reasons why working for yourself can actually be regenerative, beautiful, and subversive.

About Bear Hebert:

Bear Hebert (they/them) is an anti-capitalist business coach and social justice educator. They've been self-employed since 2014, and now they help fellow small business people (and other beloved weirdos) figure out how to build the world-yet-to-come inside the world-that-currently-is. Bear believes that relational work is real work, and emotional work is movement work. They're trying to help us all get a little more free.
