019, Vail Dixon: The Soil Healer, Part 2
Manage episode 290722269 series 2916110
In part 2 of this series, Vail opens up about new ways to approach business, our relationship with ourselves, and seeing the world through a holistic lens and how that opens up possibilities unavailable to the linear cause-and-effect thinking of scientific logic.
Vail Dixon is a regenerative farmer and holistic grazing mentor. Founder of Simple Soil Solutions, Grazing Power and ABC Beef, Vail grew up working on farms, climbing mountains and enjoying nature. While training to represent her country in the Olympics, a life threatening accident gave Vail an opportunity to experience healing through healthy food and natural methods – even when doctors told her it was impossible. This deeper understanding of our food and farming systems instilled in Vail a passion for healing our soils as a way to rejuvenate our ecology, economy and health. Vail conducts research on how humans affect the soil biology and how that impacts productivity. Learning about ways to repair damaged soil biologically led Vail to understand how animals and humans play a vital role in soil regeneration. Vail is passionate about joining with Nature to heal the land, our economy and ourselves. Besides farming full time, she connects with open-minded farmers who want to become successful adaptive managers and create abundance on their land. To this end she is building a Holistic grazing mentorship program called Grazing Power, on-farm Grow Your Soil workshops, and Living Soils biological soil-building mentorship program.
In this episode... A new (or...ancient) perspective on the role of humans in natural systems Holistic business management How Vail's work lines up with the work of the Bionutrient Food Association Vail's Four Season mentorship program Working to craft a business that feels more like a human relationship than a transaction Transcending the limitations of present-day science by embracing cellular potential and healing ability How doing business differently, relating to ourselves differently...using our energy and time more intentionally...will transcend science's projection of the Earth's ability to heal The current ecological and humanitarian crises are inviting us to tap into the human potential, into why we are here Tips and tricks for moving energy around when we feel stuck
