The Passing Through Podcast Episode 49 - Gore, Slovenia
This week I'm passing through Gore, Slovenia!
In this episode I share my experiences from the north of Slovenia, where my partner Asia and I are staying at a new farm. We’ve moved on from the permaculture farm in Topolovec, and I reminisce about the unforgettable aroma of the goats which now forever accompanies the taste of goat cheese.
Our current focus is on helping to build a meditation retreat center using hempcrete, a sustainable and natural building material with a fascinating history and lots of potential. I emphasize the importance of water in our ecosystems and present an eco tip encouraging listeners to appreciate and conserve water.
Towards the end, I read a piece I wrote titled "Imagine All the People," which delves into the concept of the polycrisis and the interconnected crises we face globally. I ponder on capitalism, the myth of separation from nature, and the erosion of our imaginative capacities. The piece serves as a call to recognize our intrinsic connection to the earth and each other, and to reimagine our collective future.
Through this podcast episode I aim to connect my personal journey with broader ecological and societal reflections, inviting listeners to contemplate their relationship with nature and the small but significant actions they can take to live more harmoniously with the planet.
