Hannah Hollis shares her journey towards a more natural and holistic lifestyle, which began about 10 years ago. She started exploring natural remedies and alternative options to the prescription medications she was taking. This led her to discover essential oils, organic foods, and natural remedies.

She eventually found herself working on an organic farm in Hawaii, which deepened her connection to nature and sparked her interest in yoga. She went on to complete a yoga teacher training and now lives on a 15-acre farm in Florida, where she teaches yoga and practices agroforestry.

Agroforestry is a sustainable farming method that promotes biodiversity and ecosystem health. It involves growing multiple species together in a community, each serving a purpose to support the overall system. This approach is in contrast to monoculture farming, which relies heavily on chemicals and depletes the soil.

Agroforestry creates a harmonious ecosystem where plants, animals, and microorganisms thrive. It also fosters a deeper connection between humans and nature. To start living this lifestyle, one can begin by volunteering on a local farm, starting a small garden, or attending workshops and classes.

The integration of plant medicine and herbalism can also enhance personal growth and well-being.
