This convo is a reminder that sometimes hard is good, together is better and a pack horse, tent and sense of adventure beats air conditioned comfort any day.In the conversational cauldron:🍯 Setting up a working farm and outdoor ed centre in the middle of nowhere🍯 Living without modern comforts, electric tools, phones or watches🍯 Wilderness adventures for young folks from all walks of life🍯 An oh-snap safety vs. risk reframe🍯 The dilution of outdoor ed in schools🍯 How to facilitate confidence and capacity in young people🍯 Why we don’t try new things, and how to hack our fear of failure🍯 Bringing off grid flavours to the urban palateLINKY POOS Mittagundi Outdoor Education CentreMittagundi on Instagram🧡 Support Reskillience on Patreon 🧡✏️ Leave Reskillience a written review like a big old legend ✏️

  • End of Life Matters with Pippa White
    Shrug off the cloak of secrecy and awkwardness around death with palliative care nurse Pippa White. I’ve been wanting to bring a death convo to the airwaves for ages, because there’s a huge imbalance between light/dark, above/below, waxing/waning, growth/decay, possessing/relinquishing energies in our culture (and I'm the first person to perpetuate it). Shout out to everyone who sent frank and thoughtful questions for Pippa to answer – you’ll hear them towards the end of the ep.Pippa White is a palliative care nurse and death care advocate and educator in the Anthroposophical tradition. We discuss:🖤 What is Anthroposophic philosophy?🖤 Death care rituals, balms and vigils🖤 Windows into the reality of spirit from people in transition🖤 Why to “do the work” at the eleventh hour🖤 Soothing suffering without drugs🖤 How painful is death?🖤 Different ways to relate to pain🖤 Small, slow solutions to dying (tiny local end of life retreats)🖤 Pet euthanasia, yay or nay?🖤 How to deal with loved ones in denial?🖤 Can you make a living in end of life care?🖤 How do you document/cherish a life?🖤 What folks find difficult when dying?🖤 Grieving to breathe and to love🖤 Birth and death thresholdsLINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️Pippa WhiteAnthroposophical Society AustraliaWhat is Advance Care Planning?Wedgetail RetreatMartín PrechtelStephen Jenkinson[poem] Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas🧡🧡🧡 Show Reskillience some love on Patreon 🧡🧡🧡

  • Growing Against the Odds with Katie Finlay
    Do not listen to this unless you want to reawaken your dormant farming desires and throw yourself into a life on the land. I tell a story about being a grub, before having an animated chat with rural woman of the year Katie Finlay about staunching the loss of small farms in Australia and supporting emerging growers to step up – even and especially if they don’t own land. (What even is land ownership?) 🍎 AND ALSOKatie and Hugh Finlay are black belt orchardists whose online program Grow Great Fruit is just brilliant for anyone who wants to obtain a yield from fruit trees (with an organic and holistic tilt, of course). It gives me great joy to connect you with their work.This is their Dream Orchard Masterclass starting REAL SOON on June 12.🧙‍♀️LINKY POOSGrow Great FruitHarcourt Organic Farming CoopAustralian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA) Tess Sellar ~ Sellar Dairy 🧡Support Reskillience on Patreon 🧡
