Description

How does an Aroma-technologist and Hatha yoga meditator and practitioner approach the business and practice of farming and distilling? This episode explores such questions (and more!) with Krishana Chaitanya of Nisarga Farms. This episode celebrates the work and philosophy of Nisarga farms, which includes attention to soil, plants, farmers, harvesters, distillers and beyond. 

We contemplate:

• The meanings of "holism" and "organic" on a high level and related to essential oils up to the integrity of the business owner
• How Small is Big
• How we survive because of plants
• Trying to understand and know plants, to pay attention
• Awareness of violence in everyday life, from harvesting a plant to commodification of plants to aggressive marketing and business practices
• How the pandemic has shifted practices around plant harvesting
• Laziness and participating in other peoples (other beings!) happiness
• And much more...

We hope you walk away from this episode feeling refreshed and eager to immerse yourself amongst the plants of the world, taking the time to indeed "stop and smell the roses". Deeply. And to share the joy of Nisarga, which I learned is much more than a simple business name. It is a way of life.
