Living Your Values, Building Community with Dariya Quenniville and Jefferie Conz
Listen now
Description
It's one thing to learn wilderness skills, and it's another thing entirely to integrate them into our lives in meaningful ways.  This is the path that Dariya and Jefferie are walking, with the added ingredients of a newborn child and teaching both online and in-person classes! We talk about their desire, no, their NEED to live in a way that reflects their values, with drinking only spring water, eating locally, and incorporating wild foods and movement into their lives as well. Walking through this modern world while honoring our ancestral heritage is actually really hard, and we talk about the commitment needed to make it work. Forest Educators like Dariya and Jefferie are connecting with a growing number of adults who are feeling drawn to live closer to nature, and with like-minded individuals, so they also are developing a strong community aspect to their offerings. The wild magic of the northern forests in Ontario provides the backdrop for our conversation, offering hope for a future where we learn to live more gently on our one green earth.  Website:    https://www.findingpolaris.org/ Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/findingpolariswc/ Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/findingpolariswc Join the Forest Educator Patreon! https://patreon.com/ForestEducatorPodcast Connect with Ricardo: https://www.foresteducator.com/ https://www.theforestboxforkids.com/ https://www.hawkcircle.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricardo-sierra-5980931/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_forest_educator_podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RicardohawkSierra

When it comes to nature awareness and personal awareness, I've found it useful to see and perceive it in a few different ways.    Sometimes I see it in a mythological or 'rite of passage' perspective, and other times, I see it more from an 'awareness and perception' perspective. In this episode,...
