What does it really take to live close to the land, to find strength in stillness, and resilience in simplicity?
In this episode, we are joined by Eva Angophora — a rewilding facilitator, ancestorial skills practitioner, and deep believer in nature as teacher. Eva feels most at home outdoors, immersed in the rhythms of the wild: foraging, building, tanning hides, and guiding others back to connection with the natural world.
You might recognise her from Alone Australia Season 3, where she moved through what most of us would see as one of life's toughest challenges with a quiet, grounded power that caught the attention of viewers across the country.
We talk about what it really takes to survive, not just in the wild, but in ourselves. About the lessons nature offers us, if we’re willing to slow down and listen and how solitude can strip us back to who we really are.
This is a conversation about healing, self-reliance, and the kind of softness that’s often mistaken for weakness, but might just be our greatest human strength.
We see rewilding as a step towards regenerative ways of living on this earth & as a crucial stepping stone into our innate responsibility of tending the land & returning to a more place-based mindset.
We run a range of outdoor courses & gatherings centered around ancestral living skills teaching a more "back to basics" approach where all humans are empowered through learning these hands-on earth skills. We value creating spaces for multi-generational knowledge & Indigenous wisdom to be shared.
Through these immersions & courses we aim to connect people with themselves on a deeper level through learning how to build relationship with the land and its myriad of medicines, foods and uses. Through learning how to identify certain foods, medicines and useful plants, suddenly the bush doesn't feel so foreign, but a place we can call home. We aim to create spaces for people to feel at home in the bush and have the confidence through necessary skills to have safe & sustainable experiences outdoors.
