Who wants to be involved in their local community?
Who wants to start being self-reliant but not alone?
The East Tennessee Homestead Alliance was born out of a dream turned reality.
This past Saturday, I joined about one hundred others interested in learning more.
Sandy and her husband Steve are actively providing a hub for all interested parties to join the alliance and make it what you want it to be!
She doesn't even have a website or a business structure because this is the tip of the iceberg.
The community has a clear hunger for this and it will only grow from here.
Find out more here, and sign up for the newsletter!
Sandy runs wildbodyschool.com with vast resources regarding all things homesteady.

Bill Nickle - on straw bale homes, natural burial preserves and being one with the land

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 21:14:09 +0000

Finally at 41 years old, I am learning about the things I've always wanted to know!

In this episode, I interview Bill Nickle - founder of Narrow Ridge Earth Literacy Center in East Tennessee. It is just the kind of place I one day will become a part of. With an interest in being one with the land and building 100% off grid homes of all kinds, they really understand how nature provides everything we need. They also have a natural burial preserve and I learned just how awful cremation is even though I had an idea. Natural burial is a beautiful way to allow your loved ones to gracefully become one with nature (again).

**see photos of this adventure here

In the episode, Bill sings a song and "the song to which he recited the lyrics is adapted from an old song that references a different place with no mention of persimmons or paw paws. The author of the original song is unknown"

Getting To Know You Series - Episode 1 - Chief of Police | Chief Susan Shultz | Elma, WA

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 04:16:49 +0000

In our inaugural "Getting To Know You" Series, we had the pleasure of interviewing Elma, Washington's Chief of Police, Chief Susan Shultz.

Interview conducted by R1se founder, Jess Collins.

Checkout our website at R1se.godaddysites.com

**WARNING: There are Chapter Titles to alert folks to parts that might contain something offensive.

I noticed some parts in the interview where, due to my own discomfort about politically charged rhetoric, I may have sounded as if I am on one side vs the other....when it is quite the opposite and, in fact, I've learned that I don't want to choose sides anymore.

We have a very real tendency to judge people based on one thing or another, it is human nature!

But, until you step out in "Getting to Know" me, it would better be suited for us to have a real conversation.
Ask away!
This is what we need!
More people engaging in conversation despite our perceived similarities or differences.

We need to take a serious look at things individually and not lump sum everyone into the same box. I'm tired of the division in this world!

I'm ready to step into my roll to help Learn, Grow and Share...and stop hoping someone else will fix the problems I think I see in the world.

I believe that we are all meant to take information in and dissect it, we also cannot live in a world where we take offense to everything before asking ourselves why it is so offensive in the first place.

The first step to making change is paying attention to how and you react to things.
