20. The Art of Wildcrafting with Travis Cartwright

In this episode, I sit down with my partner, Travis Cartwright, for a heartfelt conversation about the profound experience of foraging wild foods and medicines while building meaningful relationships with the living world. We explore the ethics of wildcrafting, the issues with industrial food systems, how to harvest with reciprocity and respect, and the importance of slowing down enough to truly know the ecosystems we’re part of. We also talk about some of our favourite plants to gather and work with, while telling stories from our wildcrafting adventures, and sharing tips for anyone curious about starting their own journey to connect with wild plants.  If you are a nature lover that wants to form more meaningful relationships with the plants and land around you, this conversation is for you!
