One of the FIRST things I'm looking forward to as the weather gets warmer: getting muddy AF
~
Anyone else find it super rejuvenating to connect with the earth? Whether it be barefoot walking, getting a mud bath (even if just your feet), swimming in a lake/river, or connecting more with plants?

There are trillions of bacteria in the water and the soil, and truly they are meant to be part of our gut and part of our immune system. We are not separate from local ecosystems even though we pretend to be...

It can be quite liberating to remove that insulation we put between ourselves and nature, and to experience it in ways that we might not have since childhood, at which time we have an innate knowing that the forest or meadow, creek etc is our friend 🌲🌊

Huge anti-lockdown protest in London, which SkyNews originally reported as "a few hundred protesters", let's see how the media tries to spin this MASSIVE global rally for freedom as it unfolds today!

There it is : pubs that check vaccine passports no longer need to social distance.

This is coercion. The world is being held hostage. There is no longer any denying.

β€œTwo weeks to flatten the curve” and the world submitted.

Did you know there is a variety of sour orange you can grow in south coastal British Columbia (or anywhere with a similarly mild winter climate) which is frost hardy? Super exciting! There was tons of them available at Triple Tree nursery in Pitt Meadows 🍊
Glimpse of forest snacks to arrive soon.. all found on the forest floor, albeit not quite at the optimal stage yet for sweetness profile 🍯
Have you read about or experienced flow states?
β›²πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ
Flow states can be achieved in many instances, you can be playing a musical instrument, exercising, playing sports, even working a monotonous job, or in this case - enjoying a hike along the river

For myself personally, my best ideas arise when I am out in nature. Almost any project or business idea I've had has come about during a hike or time spent outdoors, and especially when I am harvesting or picking wild food is when I've entered deep states of relaxation and joy. There is almost nothing as satisfying and rewarding as gathering wild food and feeling the fulfillment of being interconnected with the earth

What situations have you experienced flow? If you want to explore the topic further, an absolute must read is Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Reached a milestone! I've now filled up around 108 large trash bags from streams, forests, and the river over the past couple seasons!
~
Beautiful warm day to make a positive impact with my organization the Web of Life.. the foliage is really getting lush so hauling stuff from the prickles and thickets in the forest is getting increasing difficult
~
We still managed to remove a disintegrating couch, a box spring mattress, and some stuff which isn't pictured here, all estimated at several hundred, perhaps a bit under 1000 lbs.

If β€œ5G is a human right” but raising animals is illegal ...

... you might be in a totalitarian slave grid!
I have a couple upcoming free days next week - get in touch to join either a 1on1 or small group for a "learn and harvest" event!
~
Nettles, Japanese knotweed, and a few more of nature's delicacies which we can find in this beautiful urban forest
~
There will also be the potential for you to harvest quite a bit of Japanese knotweed root which has the highest known concentration of resveratrol of any plant on the planet!
~
Get in touch soon, as there are only a few spaces per day - (making sure each participant gets to take home a nice harvest) - Port Coquitlam, BC
The temperate jungle I call home.. there's nothing quite as enjoyable as this place especially as the weather gets warmer
🌴🌲
It's my office, my gym, my local wild food grocery, my swimming pool, the place I teach, and place I take care of and steward..

I truly believe that the indoors are only meant to protect us from the elements when needed, but when the weather is mild or warm - we truly should be spending a majority of our time outdoors around trees and plants
~
One day humanity will see it as a health risk to live in a place dominated with concrete or overly sterile, devoid of trees and natural landscapes.. Have you noticed many inspiring images of "utopia" have lush gardens and towering trees with birds, butterflies, and wildlife living in community with humans? Because this is the way we are meant to live!

Wishing everyone an awesome time out in your local natural space, deepening your connection and knowledge of the land πŸ”¬πŸ“šπŸ‘£
