EP 5. 7 years Living in the Wilderness of New Zealand with Miriam Lancewood

02/10/24 • 49 min

Miriam Lancewood lived in the NZ wilderness with her partner for 7 years surviving off rations and meat that Miriam hunted with her bow & arrow. In this conversation we speak of the liberation of a simple natural existence. How her mind and body changed from a modern pace to a much slower more in tune way of being. The illusion of time & security, how none of it matters when you are living fully in the moment out in the wild. The innate memory of hunting & connecting with the land in such an intimate way. Her insights on social programming and how it all falls away when you spend long enough in the wild. The power of discomfort and how it builds resilience and a sense of being truly alive. This is a remarkable conversation of Miriam’s journey of being a modern nomad, a refreshing perspective of choosing freedom & living life in a way that is in close relationship to nature.
