Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis

Shelby Kaminski educates Elephant readers about all things "dirt" and regenerative, from the perspective of her woman-owned entrepreneurial success, Edaphic Solutions.

"Building up the immune system of your yard and garden makes it so you don't have to use weed killer because weeds don't like healthy soil.

Weeds usually grow in places where there aren't a lot of plants. So if you're planting more plants, the weeds will be outcompeted and have nowhere to live and no food to eat. It's using the forces of nature to help nature." ~ Shelby Kaminski

202. Mindful Monday—Children’s Day & the Winter Solstice & what they Mean for us.

This Mindful Monday, Waylon discusses “Children’s Day” in the Buddhist tradition and the Winter Solstice—bout what they mean in our lives and how we can integrate them into our present traditions.

“With all the suffering, the aggression, the fear in the world right now—whether it’s in the Ukraine, Gaza, Israel...as well as a lot of the partisanship that we’re seeing in the US where we often can’t even discuss things peacefully or respectfully—I think it’s important to come back to peace.

And peace isn’t some anodyne, saccharine notion. It’s not a facile thing. It’s something we have to work for and care for and nurture.

And Winter Solstice is emblematic or symbolic of that. It’s the darkest time of the year.” ~ Waylon Lewis
