Who we are as people, how we feel and receive ourselves, the state of our health, purpose, connection to nature and community determines our interactions, beliefs, choices in regards to the ways we act towards earth, other people etc.

Nathan Maingard describes himself as having been a misfit in our society at a young age.

Not fitting into the boxes that school, society, government, predetermined, which all seemed a skin too tight for him.

In this episode he shares how he transformed from thinking he was the problem, acting out and feeling out of place, to living his truth and supporting other people in that journey as well.

We reflect on the way many of us feel out of place or forced into structures and the fallacy of "this is just the way things are".

Nathan argues that we ARE ALL already FREE.

That with the decisions to show up for ourselves and making choices from the moment we get up in the morning that set ourselves up for peace and well-being, we are freeing ourselves.

There is a place for everyone to bring value to themselves and community. We need to foster a society and atmosphere that let's everyone contribute, because everyone CAN. There is no useless or valueless person. We all have hands, feet, mouths, eyes, ears and brains to use.

Each in their own way and we must let go of the constraints that say that there are only certain predetermined and economically imposed ideas that determine which inputs are worth anything.

This way we can let go of feelings of uselessness of not being enough of being "misfits" in a society of essentially a majority of "misfits" that are struggling along, working against themselves and natural cycles and rhythms.

"people sitting around a fire with their families, who are at peace with themselves, who have purpose and connection and live with the rhythms of nature won't even look up to listen to that pained, disconnected person coming along, proposing to start a war or plunder another family's home."

The ME reflects the WE and it starts with I 🌱

We are 100 % capable of creating a different reality and making change one person, one family, one community, one city, one nation, one world....at a time -

One that flourishes and harmonizes a hell of a lot more than it does right now🌍💚
