Listen "Rewilding As Grassroots Activism with Anya Lily "
Episode Synopsis
On this episode Tatjana Lucia is joined by Anya Lily – a retreat facilitator, herbalist, and steward of land-based healing. Anya is the founder of Meadowsweet Retreat, a sanctuary-turned-collective that began in the wilds of Tuscany and now creates rewilding experiences around the world. Her work invites people into deeper relationship with the Earth through ritual, foraging, permaculture, and community. Together, we explore the radical act of slowing down, the healing power of community, and what it means to belong to the land in a world that often teaches us disconnection. This is a conversation about activism through earth intimacy, motherhood as transformation, and the deep remembering that happens when we gather in circle, in nature, and in presence.In this episode, you’ll hear about:- Anya Lily’s journey from herbalist roots to retreat facilitator- What rewilding, foraging, and herbalism have to do with resistance- The ripple effect of embodied, land-based healing beyond the retreat space- How community retreats create space for collective grief, joy, and transformation- The profound shifts motherhood brings to one's relationship with time, place, and purpose- What it means to be “naturalised to a place” and how land teaches us about belonging- Raising a child in connection with wildness, ritual, and Earth-based valuesHow you can connect with Anya Lily:Follow Anya on Instagram on @meadowsweetretreat and @gatherkindlingExplore upcoming retreats on her website Please feel free to send any questions or suggestions to [email protected] and subscribe to this podcast, made with love.You can find Tatjana Lucia on the following platforms.
