In this meaningful and insightful Ted talk, Sophia Buggs shared about grace, ancestral wisdom and plant medicine.
Like her grandmother advised, it is essential for her clarity and well-being to stay true to who she is and her roots and connected to Nature.
She believes that wellbeing is intimately tied to the soil and that agriculture is a spiralling movement that fosters relationships with the mycelial landscape and human beings.
It is encouraging to see how she found clarity in her life and healing in her knee joints when she rekindled her grandmother’s garden and grew herbs, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini and other food plants.
It is also inspiring to hear that having felt amazing and confident in the presence of Nature, she found her calling to tap on all the resources she had and expanded her urban farming lifestyle to heal herself and her own community to ensure high quality healing and nourishing sustainable food (and I have noted, to dismantle the system and culture in America that has been using food as a weapon against a group of people who look like her).
I too resonate with her challenge to all of us to continue to create, support and participate in small agriculture and anything that is eco-friendly, so that we can have the best planetary experience that we have ever had and will continue to have.
