Thriving with Nature: Living a Regenerative Lifestyle

I’ve always sat on the outskirts of village life in Bali. I’ve seen their amazing community and felt the warmth that they share when joining in on a ceremony, however, I’ve never been part of the village.

I’ve also noticed how they really work together a lot. Whether preparing for a ceremony, harvesting, they are chattering away and connecting together.

Now I’m part of a community I am starting to notice my old western ways of “wanting to do it on my own” and this is “my” land... etc. Balinese don’t think that way, they really do live a life of “Together we are Better”.

So when they were naturally offering to help me, I could feel a resistance come up... but it’s an old way, a part of my ego I choose to let go of..

Happy Anniversary! It’s been a YEAR!

One year ago this Podcast was born! I was determined to make it work and share information about how we can thrive with Nature. At the time I was living in town, no idea I would ever be getting land soon or oblivious to what was coming ahead! But we did it!

We had interviews with amazing people like Dr. Elaine Ingham, Chef Cynthia Louise, Ron Smith, Finian Makepeace, James Levelle and so many more!

I hope to have more interviews in the coming months and really want to make sure that you as a listener are being entertained and learning at the same time! So let’s see how we go! Together let’s do this....come join me to celebrate and reflect over the past year and what is to come for the next year!

The Reality of Doing this Far Away

Embarking on this journey it’s exactly that - a journey.. It has its ups and downs. And this past couple of days I have felt a little low because I am not close to my family.

Normally if I was in Australia, I know my father would be able to come over and help me out, we could bounce back and forth ideas and do some work together. It’s hard to see him sometimes helping my step-sister who only lives down the street from him, and I am on the land here on my own. The truth of it is he would be here in a heartbeat if he was closer, and probably so much more than I would want him to! I have chosen Bali (or I sometimes think Bali chose me) and it’s just one of the sacrifices I have made.

The truth is though, according to Demartini, or so my friend says, is that nothing is missing - these dynamics turn up in other ways. And that is true. I have what I call my “Mountain Family” - a community of like-minded souls that I get along with and we all help each other! I also have a Bali Family, the landowner, who is helping me so much. I am truly supported on this journey!

The reality is, in some moments, I really miss my fam. But one day the borders will open and they will get to come to see what I am embarking on! So I just have to ride these low moments and get through them - because after a low, often there is a high!... so let’s see what is around the corner!
