In this debut episode, Madison and Abbey give a brief history of why they started Bristlecone Firesides. They discuss disconnection from the Earth and the tragedy of living decontextualized. And more to the point, they discuss the spiritual impacts of living in the culture of disconnection and how we can subvert those impacts through At-One-Ment and regaining a connection to the Earth.
*Forgive the audio quality in this first episode. True to form, Madison is good with dirt, but bad with technology.
**Corrected Aldo Leopold Quote because Madison’s memory is bad: “There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace.”
