Episode 18 - Elisa Rathje

Tune in to episode 18 where I chat with (my first international guest!) Elisa Rathje of Appleturnover Farm, artist, creative, writer, filmmaker and permaculturalist about:

• Elisa’s climate awakening story;
• Parenting through the climate crisis; 
• Elisa’s upbringing and life as an artist in the United Kingdom - learning traditional skills and falling in love; 
• life at Appleturnover Farm - the people, the plants, the animals, the history;
• The future of food security in an uncertain world; 
• Elisa’s new documentary series “The Journal of Small Work*” and what it entails; 
• Productivity and “stacking functions” as small steps towards resiliency; 
• Why it’s so great to be a creative right now.
