In this video we take you on a tour of the top 10 medicines that keep us outside the industrial medical complex. If you've never considered this list as medicines before, we ask you open to this next half hour as we reveal our story of health and well-being, and why our family hasn't required a medical centre or a doctor for many years.
1. Ritual, ceremony & love

4. Walked-for wild foods
5. Sleeping, nose-breathing & circadian rhythm
6. Fasting & listening to Country
7. Home-grown food & kinship with soil
8. Fermented foods & honouring death & decay

We had the pleasure of hosting Uncle Charles Davison, Jen Ridley and their youngest children, Minya and Yindi at the School of Applied Neopeasantry last week. Patrick, Jen and Charles made some room for a kitchen table chat for our podcast.
Jen and Charles' inner strength and wisdom to respond to colonialism within the sovereignty of family and community bonds while keeping a close eye on the continual threats and incarcerating mechanisms of white institutions – colonial spaces that continue to contrive to enclose, limit and construct minds of scarcity and fear – is empowering to behold.
We hope you enjoy this conversation and you appreciate that Jen and Charles' voices are not widely heard Indigenous perspectives within the highly conformed publishing environment of neoliberal (mainstream) media. We elevate them here in a spirit of a truer diversity and call for your deep listening.
