Practical Permaculture | Gardening and Intentional Living

Cultivating community with Jade Miles


Listen Later

We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.


In this episode, I sit down with Jade Miles from Black Barn Farm and Future Steading to dive deep into the art of building and sustaining community. We explore the evolving nature of relationships, the role of trust and patience in fostering strong connections, and the balance between social energy and personal boundaries.


Jade shares her experiences with food systems and community building, emphasising the importance of mutual obligation, cultural heritage, and intentional living. We also discuss the challenges of navigating modern social dynamics and how rebuilding lost values through empathy and kindness can create stronger, more connected communities.

Whether you're searching for your tribe, trying to navigate social energy, or looking for ways to deepen your connections, this episode is packed with insights on creating meaningful relationships in an often-isolated world.
