We all eat the Colorado River: this watershed is a microcosm of our society with Jeff Wagner 07/14/2024

We all eat the Colorado River: this watershed is a microcosm of our society with Jeff Wagner full shownotes and maps to reference in this episode: Episode #84 of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with Jeff Wagner out of Paonia, Colorado, director of Groundwork, a regional nonprofit educating about food systems in a changing world and more. Groundwork is a place-based education program working to deepen our society’s relationships with land, food, and water and to cultivate generative and regenerative ways of living and relating. Our mission is to inspire the cultural shifts needed for a sustainable future. Rising to meet the challenges posed by climate change, ecological decline, and environmental injustice requires more than new technologies and policies. At Groundwork, we believe it also requires profound shifts in the ways we relate to one another and to the world around us. Groundwork offers educational programs and publications that seek to shift the foundations of the ways we understand ourselves and our place in the world, in order to work towards more just and sustainable shared futures. A culture, like our planet, is a living ecosystem, constantly shifting and changing based on the values, attitudes, and practices cultivated within a particular community. Groundwork creates spaces to critically reflect upon, challenge, experiment with, and create anew those building blocks of culture. Our offerings create opportunities for the emergence of new kinds of relationships and ways of being within the human and more-than-human world. We believe that reimagined relationships and practices—in essence, emergent cultures—are the foundations of systemic change. ‘’ movie Johnathan Thompson’s regularly writes on current issues of the Colorado River The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc Reisner by David Owen by Jack Loeffler and Celestia Loeffler by John McPhee by Martin Prechtel by Sandor Katz by Octavia Butler ‘’ by Joshua Zaffos High County News article about David Brower History Is Repeating Itself.’ article by , ProPublica, and Anna V.

81: Ethan Bonnin on Ecological Degradation at the Borderlands 01/03/2024

81: Ethan Bonnin on Ecological Degradation at the Borderlands Ethan graduated from Humboldt State University with a degree in Wildlife Biology and Conservation. Currently, he works in the advocacy world for habitat protection and restoration on public lands that face various resource extraction industries. He homesteads on a piece of desertified land In southern Arizona and is attempting to reverse desertification processes to help build food/habitat. Beyond his focus in biology, over the last 12 years he has been involved with local organic agriculture systems in the places he has lived. Ethan has worked at many different organic produce farms/apiaries and is currently working more with sustainable livestock use on different landscape levels. He is also interested in foraging, food processing/preservation, processing/use of animal fibers for clothing, wildlife tracking/trailing, erosion reversal/desertified landscape restoration, music, wildlife tracking. Ecology and ecological advocacy has been his passion and focus through his adult life and many of these hobbies have helped him to connect with his local ecological systems. He believes that healthy human communities and landscapes are integrally tied and there is no environmental protection/advocacy without supporting the communities that live in those places. Ethan works with mutual aid networks in his area and has been involved in several direct action campaigns surrounding the border wall and local ecological issues. He has a wonderful dog companion, Tuck, who keeps him company at his desert homestead and on many adventures. Working to re-wild and decolonize the world around us starts within and Ethan hopes to continue this journey with the wonderful community of folks he’s met along the way.

Elizabeth Yaari on regenerating desert land at the Night Owl Food Forest in Paonia, Colorado Together with the insects, animals, plants and elements Elizabeth Yaari is transforming a dry patch of semi arid desert into a thriving regenerative seven layered food forest. “Anything is possible”, she says “even when you have 6 1/2 inches of rain a year.” To spend time with Elizabeth is to enter a realm where depth matters and play reigns. Her descriptions of life at Night Owl food Forest will take you on a journey you were glad you took. As an enthusiastic member of the Design School for Regenerating Earth, Elizabeth learns to create earthworks and microclimates which benefit not only neighbors on the same watershed but also all life in the surrounding bioregion. In this episode of the podcast, we talked about: why Elizabeth started the Night Owl Food Forest her relationship to art, eco-grief and planting the permaculture course Elizabeth took with Pat Frazier and Wind Clearwater, and how it influenced her work on the land Elizabeth tells a funny story of trying to sex a cow with permaculture teacher Pat Frazier and how it taught her to observe working on the land over many years gives you way more knowledge of a place and its nuances than reading books the nature of the Night Owl Food Forest - geologically and ecologically, and Elizabeth’s goals of restoration and regeneration what Elizabeth learned about people from getting their compost for the food forest to build the soil how Elizabeth works with the local community to build the food forest thinking long term, beyond private land borders, and dedicated to small spaces water and permaculture at the Night Owl Food Forest, which has little water rights and gets only a small amount of water each year observations Elizabeth has made at the Night Owl Food Forest- as observation is the first step of tending land Elizabeth’s observation of how wild flax literally moves throughout the day in response to the sun’s location in the sky Sagebrush, Saltbush and Greasewood, halophytes that can tolerate salt and ‘poor soil’ in a permaculture setting Some of what Elizabeth has planted at the Night Owl Food Forest where Elizabeth planted Biscuitroot seeds on her land and why slow, sink and spread, and how that is necessary at a spot like the Night Owl Food Forest permaculture in desert environments how Elizabeth made her hugelkultur beds with Cottonwoods cut down by beavers using beaver deceivers to work with the beavers in the neighboring drainage how the Praire Dog tunnels become conduits for water, and provide spaces where water can hide further up hill, and could be considered a ‘riparian zone’ by some an audio tour of the night owl food forest in the snow with Elizabeth Links: - book on the Adobes written by a local western Colorado author (Bookshop version not available) of Moab, Utah/ talking about how Emily built the soil in the back yard of her home in the town of Moab over years of collecting compost - a local business owned by Trace Axtell and Marta Sanchez, who did the earthworks projects at the Night Owl Food Forest - As the Worm Turns, in 2016 (there are other convos on this program with him, too!) : Subscribe here Bookshop Bookshop : (buying here helps support the podcast) for Kelly’s airstream trailer renovation Venmo : @kelly-moody-6 Paypal : paypal.me/petitfawn website archive and extended shownotes: Our Instagram pages: / Music: Mother Marrow Hosted and Produced by: Kelly Moody /episode/index/show/groundshotspodcast/id/29010148

Alex Zubia on the importance of good food, community and love in Fresno, California 04/03/2023

Alex Zubia on the importance of good food, community and love in Fresno, California Episode #73 of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with Alex Zubia (XeF) out of Fresno, California. Alex Zubia, who goes by “Xef” is a Chef by trade. Born and raised in Fresno, CA (yokuts Land). Alex attended The California Culinary Academy in San Francisco (Ramaytush Ohlone land) in 2007. His passion for cooking came with his passion for eating. From 2008-2015 he worked at Community Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room as a Patient Liaison. During that time he witnessed people from his community dying from diet related issues. That realization led him to opening his food truck, which focused on healthier, farm to fork versions of familiar foods. In 2015, Alex moved to Santa Barbara (Chumash Land) to further his skills as a chef. There, he discovered that so much of the beautiful produce he was cooking with came from Fresno. He wondered why he never saw all this produce available in Fresno. Alex moved back to his hometown in 2021 to fight for food justice as a Food Sovereignty Director at Fresno Barrios Unidos. Alex’s goal is to bring his community back to eating and cooking their indigenous foods which are so plentiful in the Central Valley. In this conversation with Alex, we talk about: food apartheid (or ‘food deserts’) in Fresno, California, which is in the Central Valley of California, a place where so much food is grown yet not a lot of local food is available for the folks who live there food is medicine, culturally and physically Alex’s journey doing work with food, cooking in Santa Barbara and Fresno the corporate industrial food complex as it intersects capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy Alex’s work as a patient liaison at the Community Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room and how it changed their perspective and what they observed as harmful aspects of the hospital industrial complex The importance of love, community, and good food for good health Navigating the nonprofit world when trying to do food justice work some raving on TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) Chico and Ali Meders-Knight’s model of land tending in California regenerative agriculture stems from indigenous practices The four R’s and more on Transition US (Resist, Repair, Reimagine, Regenerate) Links: Sign up for Alex/Xef’s Instagram: Transition US’ instagram: Fresno Barrios Unidos’ instagram: My Homie’s Kitchen instagram: Guest Music: /episode/index/show/groundshotspodcast/id/26432373

writer, botanist, Susan Tweit on being a walking ecosystem, writing the deserts of the West 12/19/2022

writer, botanist, Susan Tweit on being a walking ecosystem, writing the deserts of the West Susan Tweit is a plant biologist with a calling to restore nature and our connection with the community of the land especially close to home. Plants are her people, as she says, fascinated by the myriad ways they weave the world’s living communities, forming the green tapestry that covers this planet. Susan began her career as a field ecologist studying sagebrush, grizzly bears and wildfires. She reveled in the work and the time outside in the west’s expansive landscapes, but eventually realized she loved the stories in the data more than collecting those data. So, she learned how to tell those stories, not an easy trick for a scientist schooled in dispassionate and impersonal prose. Susan and I met at the Paonia Books opening event in Paonia, Colorado in late fall 2022. During the event, we ended up getting into a conversation about plants by the hard cider sample table, and decided to try at some point to do an interview for the podcast. I was curious about Susan’s work as a writer and botanist, ecology scientist and was excited to dig deeper. We managed to meet up a few weeks later and recorded a conversation in Paonia Books’ back room where they hold writing workshops. She has written a handful of books on a variety of themes. Some of her titles include ‘Barren, Wild and Worthless, Living in the Chihuahuan Desert,’ ‘The Rocky Mountain Garden Guide,’ and ‘Bless the Birds: Living with Love in a Time of Dying.’ Links: For one time donations to support this work: Paypal : VENMO: Cashapp: Our website with an archive of podcast episodes, educational resources, past travelogues and more: Our Instagram pages: / Join the to discuss the episodes Subscribe to for updates on the Ground Shots Project Theme music: 'Sweat and Splinters' by Interstitial music: Old Maid's Draw by Riddy Arman Hosted by: Kelly Moody Produced by: Kelly Moody /episode/index/show/groundshotspodcast/id/25367178

Ted Packard on bodies as a multiplicity, coyote-trickster troubadour-ing, music as ecological channeling, kids and nature connection, & creating communities of mutuality Direct link to episode with extra photos and Ted's poetry: Ted studied History and Anthropology at Christopher Newport University, got a Master’s in Teaching, went on the road with the Momentary Prophets band, and then went to study with Alderleaf Wilderness College and Wilderness Awareness School.

As college peers, we spent a lot of time together researching things like mushroom cults, the esoteric origins of Judeo-Christian religion, the anthropology of psychedelics, zen koans, and more. We both have lived in different places since and woven in and out of each others’ lives so we spent some time really checking in about how we think about things now vs. when we were radical activist driven neo-pagan coyote-trickster troubadour mind-melters. In this episode with Ted, we talk about: Ted’s nature connection mentorship work with youth in Washington and Colorado Ted’s upbringing in northwestern Virginia Our experience in college of community: artists, philosophers, musicians, activists, and neo-pagans and our reflections on that time now seasonal ritual as a somatic map ways that Ted’s anger at an eco-cidal culture has transformed over the years to a yearning for finding points of connection vs. telling someone they are wrong or how to live what is a community of mutuality in a broken society that emphasizes hyper-individualism? activism can look many ways and can even be in small moments of advocacy awareness of the isolation of capitalism is often crippling the reality that financial security is generally not available to our generation (millennials) Ted’s musical projects which include Momentary Prophets from his early 20’s, that had a coyote-troubadour element with community driven instigation, as well as his own solo projects paying attention to ‘nature’ bringing you closer to crazy synchronicities that become signposts to keep going weaving a web of interrelated ideas and ecologies as a way of being trauma, neutrinos, quantum physics intersecting eastern philosophy, bodies as multiplicity, the mycelium nature of everything, music as ecological channeling Links: , mentioned on the podcast author we mention on the podcast , pagan community mentioned mentioned on the podcast organization dedicated to ending mountain top removal in Appalachia on Facebook (Interstitial music featured on the episode) (he is putting out a new album RIGHT NOW, his individual music featured in the intro of this episode) (do yourself a favor and read and savor) if you’d like to donate to help support his musical projects : to contribute monthly to our grassroots self-funding of this project For one time donations to support this podcast: Paypal : VENMO: Cashapp: Our website with an archive of podcast episodes, educational resources, past travelogues and more: Our Instagram pages: / Join the to discuss the episodes Subscribe to for updates on the Ground Shots Project Music: by Ted Packard and Momentary Prophets This episode hosted by: Kelly Moody Produced by: Kelly Moody and Ted Packard /episode/index/show/groundshotspodcast/id/22508546
