Let’s Have an Adventure

Before we stepped into these human bodies, I like to think we whispered one phrase: “Let’s have an adventure.” And here we are, navigating this incredible, chaotic, and interconnected experience of life. Every day is a chance to explore—our health, creativity, spirituality, and the relationships that shape us.

This space is my way of sharing that exploration with you. I’m Heather, an animist with a curious mind and a deep connection to the natural world. I believe in the nourishing power of meat, the healing potential of plants, and the wisdom of all living things—most notably, my feline companions. Here, we’ll dive into the profound and sometimes messy truths about health, creativity, and connection. Let’s explore together.

The Nourishing Paradox: Healing Through Meat and Plants

There’s a lot of noise in the world about what we should and shouldn’t eat. I’m here to strip away the noise and look at what our bodies and the Earth truly need.

I firmly believe that meat—ethically sourced and nose-to-tail—provides essential nourishment. But plants are where the magic of healing happens. Packed with phytonutrients, antioxidants, and enzymes, they remind us that food is more than fuel; it’s medicine.

Here, we’ll explore the synergy of these elements: how plants and animals together sustain us in a way that no processed diet ever could. I’ll share the science behind these ideas, but also the spiritual connection—how nurturing your body is an act of honoring the Earth.

The Grain Dilemma: What Domestication Cost Us

Civilization owes much to grain, but let’s be honest—so do many of our modern health issues. The domestication of grains transformed societies but also shifted how we relate to the Earth. It encouraged monoculture over biodiversity, convenience over connection, and profit over sustainability.

But the problem goes beyond health. Grains symbolize a worldview that values productivity over presence, hierarchy over harmony. In this space, we’ll question that narrative. What happens when we move closer to our roots—eating, living, and thinking like the hunters and gatherers we once were?

Aging Gracefully: Merging Science and Spirit

Aging is often framed as a battle—an enemy to be defeated. I see it differently. Aging is a process of accumulated experiences, and healing from its wear and tear can be an opportunity to transform ourselves.

We’ll talk about practical longevity tactics, from repairing cellular damage to balancing hormones. But we’ll also explore how spirituality intersects with the process of aging: how mindfulness, purpose, and emotional well-being can extend not just our years but the quality of those years.

Aging isn’t a failure. It’s the art of growing into yourself, one deliberate, mindful choice at a time.

The Wisdom of Cats: Animism, Play, and Presence

Have you ever watched a cat bask in a sunbeam? They know something we forget in the rush of daily life: how to simply be.

As an animist, I see life and connection in everything—not just in animals and plants, but in the objects and spaces that surround us. Every stone, every piece of wood, carries a story, a presence, a spark of the universal thread we’re all part of.

My cats remind me of this daily. They teach me to play, to rest, to approach the world with curiosity and reverence. In the same way, creativity lets me step out of survival mode and into a state of flow, where the mundane transforms into the magical.

An Invitation to Explore

This space is for you, the seeker, the questioner, the adventurer. Together, we’ll unearth  the mysteries of health, spirituality, and our connection to the natural world. We’ll challenge assumptions, share ideas, and celebrate the profound beauty of this life.

Expect discussions on everything from the cellular mechanisms of longevity to the spiritual insights of rituals and the creative freedom of living in harmony with the Earth. Some answers may surprise you; some may not come at all. But I promise we’ll ask better questions.

The wisdom of the Earth, the spark of creativity, and the playful presence of a sun-drenched cat all have something to teach us—if we take the time to listen. So let’s dive in, together. The adventure awaits.
