Reseed is about repairing our relationship to nature. It is the guide in a journey from taking - to caretaking. The podcast explores stories of uprooting extractive systems and rooting the future in community and care.
About Reseed
Reseed tells the stories of a movement. People of all ages and backgrounds are undertaking the journey of transforming from takers in an extractive system to caretakers in a reciprocal system. Each day more people are looking for nature-based and human-centered solutions to the challenges of our moment.
Reseed offers a guidebook in this journey by sharing the stories of people embracing redesign, reduction, repair, reuse, rewilding, resistance, and regeneration and how they meet the grief, fear, and despair of our moment with heartfelt, handmade solutions that are growing a world rooted in care. The podcast welcomes listeners into a community where host, guests and audience are connected in this shared journey.
Reseed explores a range of topics covering the uprooting of systems that harm us and nature, and the rooting of lives that are marked by reciprocity with the natural world and community. Threaded throughout each episode are themes of justice, wellbeing, care, and resilience.
