This week's show is with Craig Richardson. Craig Richardson describes himself as a ‘camper, hiker, animist, bodhrán drummer, mushroomer, waterfall chaser, weed-eater, rewilding human and student of life. He is interested in what he calls “deep humanity”, and seeks to understand the interplay between modern living and our more primal roots. This interest has led him on a personal journey of understanding his own deeper humanity, in such areas as diet, lifestyle, language, art, education, spirituality and community.

In this conversation, Craig and Lian explored toxic masculinity vs healthy masculinity, inspired by a post that Craig wrote which included a quote from Iron John by Robert Bly “The activity that men were once known for is no longer required.”

We spoke about what those activities are that Bly was referring to, what we’ve all lost in the process and how it’s led to men to a disconnection from self, other men, community, and the land. Lastly, we explored ways back to that connection.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group
