165. Voices of the Wayfinders: Leaving the Nicole Masters intensive in Orange
Jun 01, 2023 Season 7
Anthony James

You don’t need to have heard last week’s episode with Nicole Masters and Meagan Lannan to listen to this one, but they certainly go together. After I was fortunate to have been welcomed in to Nicole’s intensive 4-day course near Orange in Australia last month, I was moved to conduct a kind of exit poll with a half dozen people. It wasn’t planned, so I just pulled out the lapel mic’s I always have with me for such occasions, plugged them into the phone, contemplated dealing with some breeze and departing traffic, and nabbed a few willing souls as they passed. And I was so glad I did.

The last few of the six people you’ll hear from, I hadn’t met before. The first two, I’d met at the Convergence conference staged by RCS Australia in Brisbane last July. And the 3rd, as you’ll hear, I met only six months prior at the Haggerty farm here in WA.

What I heard from them felt like another chapter in my observations of paradigm change happening in people wherever I go right now - and across different walks of life. And sure enough, here I was at an agriculture course, but what’s being said and felt largely applies to everything. You could even say it feels like a resurgence of some deep traditions of culture that for a while we’d lost touch with.

My guests are:

  • Dave Murphy from Farmer’s Footprint Australia 
  • Stacey Curcio from Cultivating Wellness, and also the daughter of Terry and Pam McCosker, founders of RCS Australia
  • Emily Alexander, who happened to be at the Haggerty farm for the event that became episodes 142 and 143.
  • Missy, a young home-school student who is running her own profitable business called The Cow Whisperer 
  • Rachael Treasure, best-selling novelist (including her most recent book that was inspired by the Haggerty’s)
  • Jake Chandler, who stopped the room with one of his comments, which we talk about here.

This conversation was recorded near Orange NSW, on 15 April 2023.
