Repairing the Tearing with Dr Gail Bradbrook

How can we work within the wounds of severance to bring repair to the trauma-induced damage of people and planet? 

Gail, one of the Co-Founders of Extinction Rebellion, and Miles walk from Brantham, Suffolk, to the nearby Stour estuary on a cold grey January morning. They chat about XR and protest, birdwatching, body politics, humans as a keystone species, psychedelics, and cultural change. After some time spent with the low-flying knots at the water, Miles and Gail forage some ingredients for lunch as they make their way back to the village. 

​

As they cook and eat together, they ask what community practices we need for a kinder future.

'What story do we want to tell ourselves? Because no-body else will know for sure.

I want to be in a story that trusts life ...and humans as part of life.'

About the show

 

We offer a series of conversations to tap into the wildness within ourselves and to uncover what is possible when we do. It is our hope that through the WorldWild Podcast we can contribute to the revitalisation of wild food culture and conversation around the world.

 

Through people who know their landscapes intimately, we gather the threads to weave a rich tapestry. Piece by piece the vision of a wilder world comes into view. The wild embrace of nature welcomes us back and offers us a seat at the table. A feast, no less!
