Join the tribe: https://www.resilientrootssurvival.com/In this weeks pondering I share some ideas from the recent Resilient Roots gathering, where we lived for a few days around the basic foundations of life: Attention, Breathing & Circulation (ABC). This included creating barriers to habitual smartphone checking which some people said was the highlight of the whole weekend.

In this weeks pondering I am reflecting on the recent Resilient Roots gathering. On the last night of the gathering we had an old school Highland Ceilidh, which is simply a sharing of creative expressions (music, stories, songs, poems, jokes etc).

A common response to this is people feel very nervous about sharing anything, which I think is a real shame and is partly due to our culture of "talent- shows" which I fell have put the feel into people sharing their creative expression.

But in a world increasingly dominated by AI, perhaps expression of genuine lived experience will be the future currency, the very thing that separates us from machines is our imperfect- perfection.

So don't be scared to share whats in your soul!

In this "Pondering" episode I ask whether humans are parasites or partners to the forest?

I share a bit of my 4 year journey managing a woodland in the Scottish Highlands and the effects i've seen on biodiversity.

I walk through real examples of things I have done and reflect on shifting the mindset from “human = problem” to “right relationship.”

What are we losing as we humans become more "domesticated"?In this video, I share a story about a fiercely aggressive Chihuahua that made me rethink what it means to be human — and what happens when we tame our wild side too much. From the psychology of our primal "shadow" to the cost of modern comfort, let's explore how we can find balance in the process of Human domestication.If you're curious about deepening this journey, check out Resilient Roots Survival School — an online learning community where we explore survival skills, rewilding, and the mindset needed to live closer to nature.: https://www.resilientrootssurvival.com/
