Welcome to Tending the Roots: Composting Conversations, an exploratory podcast with the co-dreamers and friends of the Rooted Global Village, in conversation with change-makers, scholar-activists and teachers, dedicated to culture change work and seeding future(s). We evoke in these conversations the powerful metaphor of composting. Composting is a process of transformation, wherein organic materials, once alive, break down and decay, eventually becoming rich, nourishing soil. We seek to identify and grapple with aspects and elements of culture, and in our personal lives, that no longer serve us and the world(s) we wish to create, and begin the slow work of composting them. We traverse paradigm-shifting themes, exploring the transformational power of body-centered praxis, the vibrancy of creative arts, the joy of spontaneity and play, the depth of poetry, and the profound interconnections of earth-spirit and more-than-human encounters. This podcast reflects the work of personal and collective transformation that we do in Rooted.

We Are EarthSeeds: Collaborative Creation & the New World Nursery with Mist Alderkin
<p data-start="199" data-end="435">In this conversation, Karine Bell is joined by Mist Saoirse Alderkin to explore the New World Nursery, a space within the Rooted Village dedicated to collective dreaming, creativity, and responsibility to the worlds we are shaping together. </p> <p data-start="199" data-end="435">They talk about <strong>heartache and the longing for alternative futures</strong> in a time of deep division and polarization, and why so many people feel disconnected from their capacity to actively participate in creating those futures. Drawing from Mist's Earthseed Web of Worlds framework, the conversation touches on grief, values, ancestral wisdom, and what it means to dream and create in relationship rather than in isolation.</p> <p data-start="839" data-end="1003">This episode is an invitation to <strong>remember ourselves as contributors to collective world-building</strong>, and to consider what kinds of spaces can support that remembering.</p> <h3 data-start="1010" data-end="1035"><strong data-start="1014" data-end="1035">Links & Resources</strong></h3> <p><strong data-start="1014" data-end="1035"><strong data-start= "1125" data-end="1160">Learn more about Mist Saoirse Alderkin:</strong><br data-start="1160" data-end="1163" /> <a class="decorated-link" href="https://linktr.ee/mistalderkin" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="1163" data-end= "1193">https://linktr.ee/mistalderkin</a></strong></p> <p data-start="1037" data-end="1123"><strong data-start="1037" data-end="1075">Explore the Rooted Global Village:</strong><br data-start="1075" data-end="1078" /> <a class="decorated-link" href= "https://rootedglobalvillage.com/the-village" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="1078" data-end= "1121">https://rootedglobalvillage.com/the-village</a></p> <p data-start="1197" data-end="1342"><strong data-start="1197" data-end="1242">John Trudell – Tribal Voice (playlist):</strong><br data-start="1242" data-end="1245" /> <a class="decorated-link" href= "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kNjkI_4A5tqGT3VuhCvwHrAJJ8PUXFnh8&si=1sYWUCZX1HFmF7Yx" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="1245" data-end= "1340">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kNjkI_4A5tqGT3VuhCvwHrAJJ8PUXFnh8&si=1sYWUCZX1HFmF7Yx</a></p>

In Care We Distrust (aka Experiments in Village-Making)
<p><strong data-start="225" data-end="248">In Care We Distrust</strong> is an introduction and reflection from inside the Rooted Village, where we’re not just talking about care and care ecologies—we’re getting into the messy, layered work of studying, designing and practicing it/them. Underneath so much of the crisis we’re living through—political, ecological, economic—is a crisis of relationship (or a crisis of care, as our friend Cassie calls it) and beneath that, a deep erosion of trust: in institutions, in one another, and even in ourselves. This episode winds through some of that terrain, touches on our distrust in those things we might desire most, and what it might take to trust and care within and between us; introducing a practice we are bringing into Rooted (the Hologram) as a radical practice in care. The Rooted Village is a dynamic third-space that is open now for those ready to do this work with us—through the Care Lab, through experimentation, and through showing up not with answers but with a willingness to risk relationship to weave friendship. </p> <p>Referenced:</p> <p>Kelly McGonigal Ted Talk, How to Make Stress Your Friend: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcGyVTAoXEU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcGyVTAoXEU</a> </p> <p>About Cassie & the Hologram: <a href= "https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745343327/the-hologram/">https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745343327/the-hologram/</a> </p> <p><strong>The Rooted Village is now open for new folks to join — discover more at:</strong> <a href= "https://www.rootedglobalvillage.com/the-village">www.rootedglobalvillage.com/the-village</a> </p>
