Would you be willing to harvest the animal you eat… or would you rather pay someone else to do it?Ryan Dumville joins the Breaking Normal Podcast after a life-changing black bear hunt in Colorado that completely reshaped the way he sees life, death, food, gratitude, and purpose.What began as a hunting story became a conversation about sacred responsibility.From there, we connect Ryan’s experience to a plant medicine ceremony in Costa Rica with previous Breaking Normal guest Cheyenne Carter, the Lakota bison harvest behind Tribe Vitamins, the home birth of my daughter Divina, and why the portals of birth and death may be some of the most sacred experiences humans can witness.We also explore: 🦬 Why hunting may actually be more ethical than buying anonymous grocery store meat 🐻 The spiritual lessons hidden inside a bear hunt 🌿 Plant medicine, visions, and the birth of Ryan’s upcoming Arrow & Altar hunting retreats 🙏 Gratitude from harvest to plate 🪶 The sacredness of harvesting animals with intention 🏹 Why modern hunting can reconnect us to nature instead of separating us from itThis isn’t simply an episode about hunting.It’s an episode about remembering we comes from—and what responsibility really looks like.➡️ Follow Ryan Dumville and learn more about his upcoming Arrow & Altar retreats: @rdumville➡️ Get your modern-day hunt on at TribeVitamins.com — 100% grass-fed, grass-finished American bison organs
