This podcast marks the start of a series called Food for Thought. The meal table is a place of gathering, conversation, connection, and nourishment. During the slower winter months, Food For Thought is a weekly practice at Holden Village promoting dialogue in the dining hall. It is grassroots led and infused by the curiosities and passions of the people present in the Valley, inviting Villagers to engage our shared intellect and insight as we discuss a wide range of topics over lunch. It is action-oriented and justice-centered, partnered with a weekly Village "Day of Action" that invites civic and political engagement. Welcome to Food for Thought.
Our cells, our bodies, and the Earth consist of 70% water. On a physical, chemical, and spiritual level our lives are shaped by water. This Food For Thought (facilitated by Andrew Zimmerman and Sophia McLaughlin) explores the interrelationship between water and life from a number of perspectives. Bridging aquatic evolution, resource management ethics, and the power of water as metaphor, our conversation was far-reaching and illuminating.
