    This unique blend of Nature Connection, Conscious Consumerism, and Forest Gardening (aka Silviculture), is a signature feature of the Madera Brand led by Adam Eggleston, and Wilderness Culture partner, led by Alex Martin. In three words, the mission is: People, Planet, Quality.
    By simultaneously providing durable, high-quality gear, helping to reforest and afforest communities in Africa – enhancing the livelihoods and socio-economic opportunities of forest-farmers who market the fruits, nuts, seeds, and holistically manage livestock in these food and fiber forests – and encouraging people to connect with nature, Adam and Alex are cultivating a culture of stewardship and sustainability on a global scale. And, with over 100,000 Madera Ambassadors world-wide, their impact is far-reaching, and their Community Mobilization is scaling-up rapidly!

  • Episode 44 – Pat Frazier, NP, Biodynamic Educator & Earth Steward Par Excellence
    Pat Frazier, NP, is a Biodynamic farmer, educator, Director of the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics, nurse practitioner (retired), and ecological stewardship practitioner par excellence. By merging the wisdom and techniques of both Biodynamics and Permaculture (“Permadynamics”) on her “Peace & Plenty” farm, Pat demonstrates the essential importance of “re-spiritualizing” our relationships with the living environments around us.
    She understands that restoring our connection with nature’s rhythms (diurnal, lunar, seasonal, planetary, etc.) grounds us on Earth, connects us to life-force and restores our own health and well-being. By working with sunlight, water, plants, and animals in a framework of “Nature Reconstructed,” Pat advocates lightly stewarding with an essential focus on building soil in our home-places. This essential action – being mobilized in urban, suburban, and rural communities world-wide – is precisely our pathway to a healed, restored, and revitalized planet Earth and Humanity in Balance. Growing comfrey, alfalfa, nettles, (and other dynamic nutrient-accumulators), and all manner of sunlight-transmuting, water-drinking, and life-force amplifying plants wherever we can – this is the Permadynamic gesture that is awakening throughout the entire world. This is the massive mobilization of stewardship and sustainability in the 21st century.
    Recognizing that plants live in relationship with the Above and the Below – with the Cosmos and the subterranean wonders of Soil ecosystems, Pat shares her home-made Valerian balsam, while encouraging us to connect with the wisdom of plants, to cultivate a relationship-based (not mechanistic) world-view, and to help cultivate the era of Anthroposophia – the Age of Human Wisdom.

  • Episode 43 – Chip Comins, Founder & Chairman, AREDAY Summit
    Chip Comins is the Founder and Chairman of AREDAY, a multi-day conference in Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado devoted to “The Great Solution:” global leadership in technology for sustainability and global transformation toward a carbon-free, equity-based energy and economic system. Citing the amazing healing capacity of Mother Earth, as indigenous wisdom-keepers have articulated all over the planet, Chip describes the 5 Verticals of Solution: (1) stopping the burning (of fossil carbon-based energy resources); (2) direct air capture (of excess atmospheric carbon); (3) soil regeneration (for further carbon sequestration); (4) ocean stewardship (plastic-free, non-acidified, unpolluted); and (5) youth leadership. Chip adds, in all earnestness that there’s probably as much a need, too, for a 6th vertical: spiritual awakening and consciousness regarding our human existence on this precious planet Earth.
    The 16th Annual AREDAY Summit, which occurs August 14-17, 2019, will be featuring a major potential break-through technology for energy generation: the HERO (Hydrogen Energy Release Optimization) catalytic technology of Star Scientific. HERO is a remarkable “drop-in” solution that can theoretically be deployed in all of the 14,000 operating coal-fired power plants world wide. This phenomenal break-through equates to the overall improvement of utilities’ operating budgets, as opposed to the stranding of $ Trillions of dollars of “sunk capital” invested in the incredibly expensive coal generating and energy transmission infrastructures.
    Wisely recognizing that, although necessary and essential to a good future, technological transformation will not, by itself, provide for the equally important social and cultural transformation that is also required. Echoing Chief Seattle’s famous observation, “We did not weave the web of life… we are merely a strand in it” Chip also shares the foundational expression of gratitude and stewardship ethos inherent in the Lakota expression: “Aho Mitakuye Oyasin:” “gratitude for all of our relations.”
    Our human civilization and species are at a critical inflection point on planet Earth, and Chip Comins and the global leadership gathering at the AREDay conference are collaborating to solve and resolve our most pressing existential challenges. Visit areday.net for more information.
