In this episode, I go off-grid with Mansal Denton, the founder of Sacred Hunting: an intentional hunter who combines plant medicines and indigenous practices into each hunt.

So many of us have become disconnected from what we consume, becoming all-too-accustomed to buying sterile cuts of meat in plastic, often from questionable sources. My recent voyage with Mansal reclaimed the innate human desire and necessity to live from the earth and interact with life and death with intention and respect. I reflect on my four-day ceremonial hunt and the breadth of emotions, judgments, and fears I faced when killing and skinning a wild boar.

Mansal Denton’s sacred and sensitive vision for hunting, framed by his six-year training with an indigenous Muskogee (Creek) medicine man, shreds any preconceived judgment that hunting is an egotistical expression of toxic masculinity. After experiencing his unique mastery of the field firsthand, I’ve witnessed the care and compassion he has for the land, its creatures, and humanity.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them?

Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities?

Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated?

EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to.

In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF.

By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.
