Where Hope Grows

On this week's episode of Where Hope Grows, we are telling a story that is as old as time. This is the story of how humans have evolved with hunting and the driving forces that have created massive shifts in our relationship to wild places and the amazing creatures that inhabit them. From the conservation approach of subsistence hunting, through a dark and extractive period of market hunting, we explore a path of hope in which the future of hunting might be based on a fundamental need for land preservation.

On this week's iteration of Where Hope Grows, we find ourselves exploring how we arrived at a place of outsourcing our participation in the basic needs for survival with the promise of freedom. But in the recent wakes of COVID, war in Ukraine, and domestic turmoil we see that those who have opted out of participation are the ones most enslaved by the very system that promised liberty. In a lived experience that is crafted in a way that only Joel Salatin can deliver, we find our way back to participating in the fundamental necessities of life! Get ready to reconnect your ecological umbilical to the things that matter most.

In this episode of Where Hope Grows we explore the possibility that plants, animals, and overarching ecosystems have the capacity to communicate in a way that better enables us to understand their innate desires and biological needs. Through the transmission of energy for the purpose of communication, we ask what information might exist and how do we arrive at a place to experience these wonders. This episode will ground you to earth as a co-creator and open your mind to a beautiful possibility that when we are in tune with nature, we are intune with ourselves.

On this week's episode of Where Hope Grows, we reflect on stories of celebrity visits to ROAM Ranch. These amusing and often comical accounts address such questions as; what happens when Mother Culture comes head to head with Mother Nature? What does T-Pain have in common with our breeding bulls?
