The Holy Fool, Hallowed Weeds & How To Just Start Writing Already with Helen Lehndorf

I share a GRIPPING TALE about a droplet of water before sitting down with Helen Lehndorf, who is a radical forager, author, anarchist, poet and plenty more wonderful things besides. I loved her memoir A Forager's Life so much! Helen and I dive straight into the weeds about permaculture life strategies, unlocking creativity, writing for nature and how to rebel against The Machine by playing the Holy Fool. Medicine for muddled, blocked or chronically shy creatives.IN THIS CONVOSwimming upstream of the over cultureUndoing cultural entrainmentSocial permaculturePermaculture design webEstablishing a daily writing habitThe world isn’t saying PLEASE ARTIST MAKE MORE ART but you should anywayAnarchismThe YES, AND ruleThe Holy Fool archetypeAI? *shrugs*Enspiriting your artECOPOETICSGetting past sharing insecurityWriting for natureWhy little lives are worth sharingInvisible care workJournalling versus publishingBlackberry medicineWhat is it to relate with plants?PUNK GRANDDAD DANDYSynesthesiaThe future has an ancient heart🧙‍♀️ LINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️Helen’s home on the webA Forager’s Life ~ Helen LehndorfThe Bruise Palette ~ Helen LehndorfSocial permaculture ~ Looby MacnamaraKirsty PorterWild ~ Cheryl StrayedE.M Forster ~ Howard’s EndAnnie DillardSound credit: Morepork / Ruru (Owl) - Auckland, New Zealand by tdes -- https://freesound.org/s/319539/ -- License: Attribution 3.0
