We are living through the collapse of the capitalist patriarchy. 👑💰 But where does this system come from? How were the women of Western Europe, who once took care of and lived off the land, treated when the notion of commons was taken away and the idea of capital began? How did this colonial erasure then seep into the fabric of Aotearoa? In episode two of Seeding Hope, lawyer, activist and writer Matariki Carr (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Awa, Pākehā) unpacks the past to help us chart the direction of our future, revealing why Indigenous knowledge was the first law of Aotearoa and how we make a return to that.

Something special happens when we take something as small as a seed, and nurture and care for it. 🫘 That’s the kōrero shared by Donna Kerridge (Ngāti Tahinga, Ngāti Mahuta) of @oraonlinenz during the first episode of our brand-new podcast Seeding Hope, hosted by Dr Jessica Hutchings (Tūhoe, Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Huirapa, Gujarati). A respected rongoā practitioner, trainer and advisor, Donna shares her insights about what growing from kākano does for us, and explains why when growing something so small, it reconnects us with our kai, our relationship with Te Ao Tūroa and each other. Seeding Hope is an Aotearoa-produced podcast, made in collaboration with @maearthstudio. Across 10-episodes, it weaves together Indigenous knowledge with practical insights from a diverse group of Māori women leaders, including kai growers, environmental activists, deep thinkers, poets and healers. The purpose of the podcast is to inspire all people around the world to stand up for seed and soil by signing the Mana Wāhine Indigenous Women’s Declaration.

Our relationship with Papatūānuku is inseparable from our own wellbeing. Our friends at @mangaroafarms reflect this understanding in the way they work with the soil, nurture biodiversity and grow healthy kai in relationship with the living systems that sustain us. Our relationship with the Mangaroa whānau goes back to the early days of Tīwaiwaka. It was an honour to wānanga together over the past week, sharing knowledge, deepening relationships and learning from the whenua and one another. Ngā mihi aroha to the Mangaora and @biometrust.earth families who made this time possible. And a special acknowledgement to @gparker.art who has woven our connection to life over the years. “Nō te oneone te tangata, ka hoki mai anō ki te oneone” “Man is made from dust, and to the dust, we will one day return.” 🪱

Attention Tāmaki community organisations Can you rally up one hundred households to sow 10,000 seedlings? We are looking for delivery partners to help create 1000 Young leaders for Tamaki. You bring the people, market the event and we will bring the resources :) and the programme. The goal is to create 1000 x new gardens in Auckland and support 1000 x new households (raising young people) to grow their own food or forest garden. Excited to be launching this!

Together, we are regenerating life! 🌿🌼 166 people gave to our Ma Earth campaign. $6,880 raised, and matching still landing. So many more shared it, talked about it, sent it to someone they thought would care. Thank you to every soul who was part of this in whatever way felt right and good for them. Whether that was giving, sharing, or simply following along and holding this place in your thoughts, it all made a difference. The way this campaign worked meant every single person mattered equally. Work begins in August and we’ll share the stages with you. You made it happen, so you should get to watch it grow! Thank you for choosing to be part of the active solution. For being part of regeneration rather than just believing in it. With so much love from all of us here 🤎 #regenerativeliving #purposeflowliving #drylandrestoration #alentejo #maearth
