To celebrate 50 episodes of the WorldWild Podcast we've put together a medley of some conversations, stories, and songs which have inspired us to think a little wilder... Enjoy and thanks for your support!

What does a new cultural story look like? How can we weave new threads to unearth old ways of being and relating? Exploring Mark Lewis' Native American heritage we begin to see the power of a story and the degree of loss which goes into the construction of one. Through exploring how the lessons he has learnt could inspire a UK wild-food cultural renaissance we tap into an even deeper truth; that what we are really looking for is a centre to grow...

Connecting wild food to the culture, bringing up kids in a wilder way, making inter-generational learning happen to sustain ways of being and unearth tacit knowledge. All these and more we explore with returning guest Mark Lewis...

The fourth and final part of a series on being rooted in your body, this week's guest is Irene Lyon, somatic practitioner and nervous system expert, who joins us to explore how our nervous systems can get regulated, how to work with past trauma, and humankind's relational nature. With an eye on what is possible for our bodies, our communities, and our planet, we end this short series with much hope.

'We've lost the language of the dorsal state, which our deeper states, our otherness states'. In the third of this series on the Polyvagal theory, we are joined by Holly Bridges who explains its connection to Autism and 'otherness states'.  Tune in for a deep dive into bodily states, neuroception, and what might be possible as open up spaces for other ways of being...

In the second of a series on the Polyvagal Theory, we are joined with respected and passionate Polyvagal clinician, consultant and lecturer, Deb Dana, to speak about what kinds of stories we tell ourselves and what this really tells us about the state we are in. She provides insight into ways to re-connect with the ventral vagal - or as she calls it: home. It is only through the body that we feel safe, so learning how to nourish our nervous system to get to that place time and time again can turn our limiting beliefs into 'stories of possibility'. Join us as we go deep into the body as we aim to befriend the nervous system...

In the first of a series on being in your body with reference to the Polyvagal Theory, we chat with Rachel Lambert, the singing forager, who not only regales us with songs about wild plants but also shares with us her journey through somatic therapy training, her teaching philosophy, the topics of stillness and movement, and the tendency in our society for wanting to pin things down into abstraction and the need to dance with language...

Ethnobotany seeks to investigate our relationship with plants, in the wider sense it is how we relate to the earth as a living planet. How we turn to it when we are met with frightening prospectives, and how we turn away from it in our quest for control. By tapping into humanity's exceptional potential, but not turning exceptionalist, we aim to seek ways to bring ourselves back into the complexity. Discussing this with us this week is returning guest Lukasz Luczaj, ethnobotanist and author of the new book On The Wild Side. Tune in for a peek at a wilder world...
