Episode Synopsis

This episode focusses on the cultivation of belonging through bioregionalism, a life-way that Ben Stopford has explored on a deep level in North Wales.  Ben is a facilitator, gardener and gatherer, offering the creation of wild-culture gardens and the pollination of foraging for food, medicine and connection to place.  He holds a PGDip in Sustainable Food + Natural Resources and is the founder of Conscious Roots and co-founder of The Kingly Stag.  Ben's group work stems from 'The Work That Reconnects' and contemporary Rites of Passage (vision quest), all guided by a deep-rooted, nature-based philosophy.  This episode is seeded in the merging of our exciting, life-changing course 'Deepen Your Roots', which is a year-long slow-study weaving deep ecology, ‘the work that reconnects’, and a folkloric, animistic exploration into the ecological self rewoven with place. It is a course to cultivate profound belonging and purpose.Next enrolment: Imbolc, February 1st, 2024 (we are offering a patron-exclusive discount).Learn more about Deepen Your RootsBecome a podcast patronExplore our 2024 gatheringsContact us or submit your musicFollow us on instagramMusic in this episode was by Mike Howe, Chris Park, Nathalie Nahai and Chiara Gilmore.Support the show
