I love this time of year when the summer sun shows signs of breaking through and what a glorious end to the month of February and the darkest times of the year. I know I cant wait to stock up on my Vitamin D levels.
I’m excited to share that our upcoming well being event has finally been launched and it’s shaping up to be a truly transformative experience. Fire In Your Soul promises to be full of things for you to unwind, relax, rejuvenate and inspire. It has been a journey that I have been on for 3 or 4 years now and it is so exciting to be able to extend the welcome to the people I have met along the way, the knowledge that they have can be shared with you and I’d love for you to be a part of this weekend. It is going to be a beautiful opportunity for growth, rest and connection.
The Story Farms will be holding panel discussions around the very important subject of food and farming. Our disconnection from nature is at the root of our dilemma. Only when we understand how real food is produced, and that humans are part of nature, not in control of it, will we fully be able to move forward in a regenerative way.
We will be able to explain how well-managed cattle can graze on land that can’t be used for crops, improving soil quality and can sequester carbon. Consider all of the inputs required to make a fake Burger. The mono-cropped soy, all of the fertilisers and pesticides, the fossil fuels for the tractors, transport, and energy required to process it, the minerals that need to be mined, the labs, plastic…
Compare that to cattle converting grass (a non-edible food on non-farmable land) to nutrient-dense meat that humans have thrived on.
Meat is not the villain. Engineering ourselves away from nature is.
And just because grass-fed beef is a small percentage of our current supply doesn’t mean it’s not worth investing in.
Saying you won’t eat meat because of factory farming is like saying you won’t eat vegetables because of GMOs.
Instead of investing in risky new food technologies that are potential problems masquerading as solutions, shouldn’t we be investing in proven, beneficial, regenerative agriculture and transparent, organic food that consumers are actually demanding?
If you’ve been feeling a calling to make more time for yourself and your families wellbeing, join us on July 4th – 6th for this exciting event where we can’t wait to welcome you to Nature’s Spectacular.
Next month i am running the London Landmarks half marathon for Harvey Hext appeal, please see below link if you are interested in sponsoring me would be much appreciated- https://www.justgiving.com/page/luke-hasell-10. With that in mind i am going to go for a run around the block and listen to the latest podcast making me think – check it out.
Recently i have been thinking more and more about what it takes to build a community, human connections especially quality ones – are the secret ingredient to living and performing at your peak. The community around us is so special and especially the place we live, i have tried to build all of our ventures on sharing gifts and abilities, land and assets.
