In this episode Innoa Kingma (Simon Jongenotter) and Monique Sayers share experiences about New Earth School from the perspective of sacred circles, food forestry, cooking and philosophy. If there is one word to describe Simon’s role in the world he chooses the word Earth Custodian. We belong to Earth. Earth cannot belong to us. He shows through his work that the sense of ‘ownership’ is distorted, and when we come back to being custodians to the land to which we belong, and the people we commune with, happiness returns as a natural result.
He’s also a rebel. Frustrated with the wasteful ways of the restaurant world he started his movement. New Earth Cooking in Bali, Indonesia. A food philosophy that considers the Earth as our guide to our food choices. He believes the old schooling system no longer serves us. It seems that humanity is in dire need of learning vital survival skills. These include: heart based communication, self sufficiency and harmony with Earth. Heis dedicated to learning and sharing these with you
He believes food should ideally grow as a forest, not on a farm. During his 5 years living as a chef at a Silent Retreat, he planted 4 hectares of ‘food forest’ featuring hundreds of edible species. He founded New Earth School where food forestry is taught, both in the kitchen and in the garden. Simon believes one day soon all chefs will become inseparable from the land again. For over 7 years Simon has been hosting sharing circles, helping people reconnect and inviting them to come back to their innocent, Earth-loving (s)elves. He is now creating a school in Portugal.
