How can we feed our bodies and our souls?  Abel Pearson, founder of Glasbren community supported agriculture farm in West Wales shared his  connection to the land, his spiritual practice - and his re-visioning of community, food and spirit.   Abel Pearson is a poet, peasant farmer, permaculture educator & activist, tending soil in West Wales and listening for the stories we need to build community and culture, restore health and breathe new life into our connection to land, food and seed. He is the founder of Glasbren, a non-profit social enterprise working to reimagine our food systems, rewild the way we eat, live and grow food and regenerate our communites, the people that live in them and the land we depend on. Glasbren is a Community Supported Agriculture scheme, offering it's members a weekly 'Share in the Harvest' veg box & a transparent relationship with where their food comes from, volunteer opportunities, courses and workshops. They also raise money for tree planting and support the local food bank through their Solidarity Fund. Abel is passionate about growing food, together, as a means to facilitate a collective shift to a radically ecological way of being and as a vehicle for social, ecological and cultural rebirth. He is a grower at Glasbren, but also teaches immersive experiences in permaculture, food growing and regenerative living, works with activists & Earth stewards to build a rooted connection to the Earth and is searching for authentic ritual spaces, passageways and the knowing to explore a truly indigenous connection to place.Glasbren: https://www.facebook.com/GlasbrenCSA/Eco Dharma: http://www.ecodharma.com/Zac Bush talking about the importance of biome (soil/gut) to health: https://youtu.be/EniVCQL3NzcCommunity Supported Agrictulture: https://communitysupportedagriculture.org.uk/Help-X  HELPEX - https://www.helpx.net/
