Solo Elk Huntress w/ Christie Green

Christie Green spends days at a time in the mountains, in the snow, tracking elk, solo. Her hunting journey began at 40 as a practical way to feed herself and her family, and became a fierce and fluid exploration of womanhood, motherhood, stewardship, intuition, listening and kinship. Christie wrote a memoir about her experiences called Moonlight Elk that I rapturously devoured, licking my fingertips with every turn of the page, it is that delicious. 🦌 Terrain covered:Life in Sante Fe, New MexicoHunting as a deep and embodied exploration of just about everything.Listening to other than human perspectives as a landscape architectDesigning for soil, water, animal, pollination; landscapes in service of wild natureLearning to hunt at 40Weaving values into businessHow to catch dreamsWhy would you want to hunt alone?Being an “other-centred” personFollowing desire and intuitionThe extreme paradox of loving and killingDefying categories and boxesAre there better and worse ways to hunt?Could and should everyone hunt?Communal local food relationshipsWalking in fear as a woman, as preyDreams as soul expressionWriting sex scenes that feature yourselfThe choiceless choice of creativity🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOSChristie’s home on the webChristie on InstagramGet your mitts on Moonlight Elk (note: you can buy it anywhere, or ask your library for copies)Moonlight Elk audiobookSelected essays by Christie Green🧡 Join the Reskillience community on Patreon 🧡Outro birdsong credit: Afro408 - License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0
