Nature Pays Us More... "Payments might feel lighter, easier, less consequential, now that things are moving into the digital realm, but there is the distinct air , to me, that humanity is now free-falling – tumbling into a bottomless abyss of empty darkness, the further we move away from a grounded, balanced, wholesomeness in our living and in our transacting. Our collective arrogance seems immeasurable: our belief in there being infinite supplies of everything, available at any time of the day, at the click of a pixelated button, ad infinitum, forever and ever... Does it really feel like freedom, to be able to click buttons like this, and then to accept a package at the door? Would it not feel betterto pluck a ripe fruit, put it into a homemade basket (rather than a metal fabricated one that is borrowed just for the time spent perambulating the store), jar it up for later. Look at the jar later on one’s crammed larder shelves, bursting with bright condiments and nutrition? Or to visit a local producer of such riches (minus the strip lighting, the loud beeping, the tinned music and advertising whacking us on the ears), to dine with them in the sacred natural light, communing with truly holy food and presence….?"

Making peace with our olive trees... We've had our land for 3 months now, and have been gifted heavily with walnuts, figs, pomegranates, nettles, burdock, wild chard, mint, wild onions, firewood, natural water, fresh air.... and now we begin the epic work of rejuvinating our olive groves. When we bought the land, we were told that there were 'una quarantina' of trees - around 40 of them. And they were hard to count! We kept finding another one and another one, tucked in the deep undergrowth, or squished below trees... When I took it upon myself to methodically tot up the numbers, we were rather pleasantly amazed to discover that in fact there are at least 80 🤗 Like many plots in this region of Italy, they've been abandoned over the past 20 or so years, as elders have passed on, and the next generation has become elder, with no-one in the family willing to come back to the land and work it properly. Folks like us are filling this niche. But we are working the land differently. Slowly. Without machines. In tune with our learning; quiet, humble mastery under Natural Law. Today was the first time I've climbed into the limbs and listened, cut, plucked, removed (the vast majority!) inedible fruits, and begun the long relationship that we are committed to here. Many long cool days ahead, which we cannot wait to enjoy on our land, sacred tweaking and doing our very best to bring back the natural harmony, abundance, beauty and divinity of this piece of our earthly heaven. 🪷🙏🌳 Clare.

Wonderfully rich turning colours, with mist moving through the valleys, after our first rains in a few weeks. All is lush and cool, and we are surprisingly dry and cosy in our tent!

Listen out for The Art Of Life podcast - this episode is around the changes that returning to the land and to wild nature can demand. Vincent and I are now 3 months in, to our new #sovereignhomestead in Molise, Italy - I speak here to how a life on the land can profoundly alter many aspects of consciousness, health, habits, and more. Looking forward to share more via @Fountain soon! Just posted via Spotify, but should be over on Fountain *fra poco*:
