Hello lovely listeners and thank you for joining me today for episode number eight where I interview Eva Angophora. Eva is a woman who lives and breathes nature. Her Wild Beings business offers an opportunity for people to learn ancestral earth-based skills such as lighting fire without modern tools, hunting, tanning hides, foraging and so much more. These offerings can be through workshops, multi-day retreats or a weekly bush school for children to attend which is particularly useful for those in the homeschooling community to connect with other like-minded young people and their caregivers.

In our chat today we spoke about lots of different topics such as the transformation from being raised vegetarian to hunting wild meat, what it’s like to feel disconnected to your body and how nature helps - something we both have in common, the beauty in witnessing women’s confidence and resilience growing when learning bush skills, some of the challenges involved with living a more earth-centred approach to life and our mutual love of bugs and spiders.

Eva is such a kind person and I really enjoyed speaking with her. She is super approachable and gentle, making what could be a fairly daunting topic to explore seem a lot more achievable. I urge you to check out Eva’s website to see what events she has coming up or if you are a little further afield to follow her instagram for inspiration on how to connect more with the wild ways of nature.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Very recently it was announced that Eva is a cast member on the latest season of SBS’s Alone Australia which airs on 26th March 2025. It must have been a lot to hold in during our chat which was recorded earlier in the year, especially since I actually mention the show!! We are all rooting for you Eva :)
