We go beyond the usual chit-chat and really dig deep into how our disconnection from nature is contributing to exploitative practices and how crafting can bring us back in sync with our roots. All the while, we analyze the dominant stories we live by and their role in perpetuating these exploitative practices. Crafting for us, isn't just a hobby, but a powerful tool to reconnect with nature and rewrite the world's narrative. Hear us wax lyrical about the unique connection between our hands and brains, the history of makers, and the critical role dexterity and nerve connections play in crafting.
Throughout this episode, we touch upon the multifaceted benefits of spoon carving which extends beyond relaxation and community building, to encompass aspects such as humility and mental health. Dave shares an engaging tale of a stolen hawthorn log and the cycle of gifting that it sparked. The real kicker though, is our exploration of crafting as a radical act, with scintillating discussions on how the practice of craft can transform the practitioner, foster mindfulness, and establish a profound connection. So, tune in and get inspired to pick up the carving knife and join the crafting movement!
