Ep 1 Part 2: Our Story of Healing, Homesteading & Creating a Life Aligned With Nature

In Part 2 of this conversation, Lindsay and Scott share the story of how their relationship,  and eventually their life’s work, began unfolding through nature, farming, healing, and deep community connection.After reconnecting with the natural world in college, Lindsay found herself increasingly drawn toward healing the body, while Scott’s lifelong connection to the Earth continued to deepen through ecology education, gardening, and farming. Shortly after meeting at the Ecology School in Maine, the two quickly realized they were meant to build something meaningful together.What followed was a journey filled with WWOOFing adventures, community gardening, food education, music, herbal medicine, farmers markets, homesteading, and eventually the creation of Alchemy Gardens — the farm and healing-centered life they would spend years building together.Throughout this episode, they reflect on: what it felt like to reconnect with the Earth after years of disconnection  how growing food transformed their understanding of nourishment and community  the unexpected manifestation moments that shaped their path  their early years learning to farm and live more intentionally  Lindsay’s growing connection to bodywork and fascial healing  creating a family life rooted in nature, simplicity, and purpose  why slowing down and reconnecting to the land feels so important right now They also share the inspiration behind their upcoming Homestead & Heal retreats -  immersive experiences designed to help people reconnect with their bodies, the Earth, and a more grounded, nourishing way of living through homesteading skills, herbal medicine, bodywork, healing practices, and intentional rest.This episode is ultimately about remembering what matters: community, connection, healing, creativity, nourishment, and building a life that feels deeply aligned.Mentioned in this episode: WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms)  Alchemy Gardens  Herbal medicine  Fascial healing & bodywork  Homesteading & food sovereignty  Farmers markets & community living  Homestead & Heal retreats To learn more about our retreats: www.homesteadandheal.netConnected with Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaycourcelle/Connect with Scott: https://www.instagram.com/alchemygardens/Don't forget to subscribe, and leave us a review/ rating! Connect with Lindsay & Scott: To learn more about our retreats: www.homesteadandheal.netConnected with Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaycourcelle/Connect with Scott: https://www.instagram.com/alchemygardens/If you loved this episode - it would mean so much to leave us a review!
