This was a nourishing conversation that took us to the edges of contemplating global crises, and back to a deep contemplation of what community means and what, as spiritual beings, it means to be of service.
Join me with food security activist and practicing Buddhist Jane Powell as we explore the vital intersections of food sovereignty, community resilience, and spiritual practice. From navigating the systemic threats of climate change and fragile global supply chains to the emotional weight of collective grief, Jane highlights how food and local initiatives serve as profound agents of connection. The conversation offers practical pathways for future readiness—including community gardening, stockpiling, and educational strategies—while diving deep into the rights of nature, collective responsibility, and the mythic power of re-establishing our sacred co-creation with the natural world.
