00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:07.440
What if the stories we tell ourselves could help us change the world for the better?
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:15.839
For the last decade, my family and I have been travelling Australia and the world to find out and created a podcast to share the journey.
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:20.480
What we've found and continue to find has blown us away.
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:27.120
From regenerating farms, cattle stations, and Aboriginal communities around Australia to Mayan communities in Guatemala.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:32.960
From Blackfeet Umscapy Picani country in Montana to urban regeneration in Melbourne.
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:41.359
From the producers of the healthiest, securest local food, fuel and fibre to the ancestral stories we all share everywhere.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:46.079
My name's Anthony James, and this is The RegenNarration Podcast.
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:53.280
Conversations with the people changing the systems and stories we live by, enabling the regeneration of life on this planet.
00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:03.840
He had it all and he had fat cows that he was trucking out whilst all of his neighbours were in the midst of drought, and that's what made Dave realize that maybe it can be done.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.799
Maybe there's a way that we can learn to sustainably produce from the landscape.
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.040
What we want to hear is could be considered as a model for the rest of the world.
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.840
The indigenous people that's going to find a way and show the way and lead the way and healing the land, and the land will heal the people.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.239
You know, we were just shooting the shit, really.
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.879
In a tiny micro break from parenting.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.359
And all of a sudden, it's like, alright, let's do a cleanup.
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:35.599
Oh, and why don't we come up with a name for our group as we clean up and oh, wait a second, why don't we do a few of these other things?
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.799
And we're doing it as we're parenting.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:43.439
And so who who wants to parent and look at the world as a piece of shit?
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:51.040
I want my kids to enjoy life and to feel joyful and come down and see this not feel like we're all sinking and dying.
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.959
When I have witnessed systems change, it isn't incremental.
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:06.319
It's all at once.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:20.000
And strangely enough, it's easier to make change all at once than it is to keep, you know, picking away at something endlessly with the drudgery of tomorrow it'll get better.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.360
And it doesn't.
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:27.120
You'll meet global figures alongside other grassroots pioneers you've never heard of but won't forget.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:43.199
And every person, I think, regeneration, the core meaning of it is really about is coming home to oneself as opposed to doing something out there that is the right thing to do, it should be done, that is a better thing to do, it is all those things, I think.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.439
But actually, it is our nature and it's who we are.
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.199
It's really who we are.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:58.719
Us mob, we got the stories, but that's museum, mob, and universe, they got all the toy iters, they got the recording equipment, so we'll just take that mob with us.
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:06.240
And basically, they're saying we need each other to keep the song lines alive.
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.840
So that's why this is so important.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.919
We are entering into an uncertain future, but we happen to have these.
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:21.360
There's a word called trauma fertile in Irish, which means the stout oars, the oars that keep you rooted through difficult times.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:29.520
We have that in so many indigenous and old and traditional cultures and heritages in this land, and it's not too late.
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:51.360
We talk about regenerative agriculture and food, economies and law, land and water, energy and health, arts and media, and every other system we live by, and about what it takes to be open to change yourself, as you might hope to change other stuff, about the hard moments and the hilarious ones, and about what's emerging right now in the places we call home.
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:52.879
The RegenNarration.
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.800
Stories of regeneration of all kinds everywhere.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:03.280
It's weekly, independent media, ad-free, freely available, and entirely listener supported.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.560
Because the earth doesn't need saving, it needs us to remember how to find our way home.
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.000
