Miriam Lancewood

SOUND QUALITY DISCLAIMER: This interview was conducted over skype with a poor internet connection (thank you rural New Zealand).  This does not take away from the fact that the content will have you hooked, we promise!

 

Introducing to you a very extraordinary woman – Miriam Lancewood.  Nine years ago Miriam and her husband Peter decided to give up all of their worldly belongings and move into the New Zealand wilderness with nothing but a tent and bow and arrow. Together they wanted to learn how to hunt & survive in nature and discover what happens to the mind and body when you take away all comforts and live wildly amongst nature on earth.  They live simply in a tent or hut and survive by hunting wild animals, foraging edible plants and using minimal supplies.

 This quote sums Miriam up perfectly: ‘My life is free, random and spontaneous. This in itself creates enormous energy and clarity in body and mind.’

 This is not an episode to miss.  Art, Matilda & Miriam chat so beautifully about Miriam’s motivations to live in the wild; covering the effects on both the body and the mind.  The conversation covers what life looks like when you live without a clock or technology but instead live by light hours, in silence and with ones thoughts. Miriam talks about the skills she has had to learn and the confidence she has found within because of this.  Inspirational to say the least; Miriam’s story will have you wanting to pack your bags and head bush.
