#068 Extra 2 - Sensing Country
A series of offcuts, with Dianne & Ian Haggerty
I just had to share with you this additional special extra to episode 68. It features a series of conversations at the homestead that were reluctantly cut from the main episode, along with some off-the-record exchanges around the fire one evening. Together, I reckon they chart an important and moving part of the story.
The view from the off-the-record fireside conversation that features in this special extra (pic: Anthony James).
“I think it just comes back to restoring that intuitive understanding. We’ve got a lot to learn in that space, but I think the more connected you become with your landscape and all the organisms within it, [the more you] allow that intuitive understanding to come to the forefront.”
From how business is being done with the natural intelligence system, and the opportunities being sought for all – and not just with carbon. To the intuitive depth underpinning their re-connection with Country, and how we might better engage with the land and its traditional custodians to bring that to the forefront.
We start by the fire, where families and friends gathered at dusk. You’ll hear some of those voices in the off-the-record grabs in the second half of this extra. Then jump in the ute with us, as we head back to the homestead.
Recorded on 17 and 18 July 2020.
