We discuss what shamanism has taught us about relating to plants and why we believe this is one of the most interesting and rewarding relationships available for us to explore and cultivate.

After returning from a demanding retreat, we sit down to reflect on what health means to us, our bumpy journey with healing, why we continue to prioritize health in all areas of our lives and why our approach may come off as radical to others (we agree).

After talking about Kambo for a little while we explore Julie-Roxane's recent decision to "take a break" from the medicine and how doing so has led to a surprising growth spurt and significant progress on her medicine path. This leads us into topics like god and spirituality, depression and being planted, the traps of success and more.

We sit down with Ian, the steward of Trout Creek Wilderness Lodge, to discuss his Narwhal documentary, his work over the last 7 years conserving a primordial forest in Oregon and how his experiences over the last decade at Burning Man have influenced his approach to life.

We reflect on the different stages of our relationship and the stage we find ourselves being called to embrace.

We return back to the forest in Oregon and reflect on living in a very small space when it's cold and damp. After that we move into the subject of this episode which is work and the turning point we've experienced with our work in recent months.

We've been thinking about changing the name of the podcast for almost a year now. We discuss why and where we are in that process which leads us to explore the emerging picture of our life's work.

Julie-Roxane gets her green card. Julie-Roxane's morning I-Ching reading sends us down a rabbit hole and inspires us to explore Truth and Resistance and how we might work with them.

When you hear a phrase repeated constantly, it often warrants some healthy suspicion. "Surround yourself with like-minded people" is one of those phrases. We discuss why this is not a great idea and what a better strategy might be.

A lot has happened in the past couple months. Alasdair and Julie-Roxane explore the importance of dreaming and the necessity and challenge of letting that dream go once you begin acting on it. They discuss why they didn't sell the camper and how that led to a better situation than they could have imagined.
